Created in 1998, experimentadesign began its activity as a platform for cultural reflexion and the stimulus of the creative community in 1999. Its course has been marked by the accomplishment of cultural projects, mainly in the areas of design and architecture, both within Portugal and abroad, with the EXD Biennale representing a central and singular reference.

To date, experimentadesign has developed a total of 75 projects – 56 national and 19 international – encompassing a wide range of typologies and including seven editions of the Biennale in Lisbon and an edition in Amsterdam.

During these fifteen years experimentadesign has involved the Portuguese creative community in an intense programme of education, discovery, innovation and research, generating a networked cultural reflexion with a truly international reach.

In 2014 experimentadesign celebrates these 15 years of projects, reinforcing its role in the national and international design, architecture and project culture panorama.
