COMPETITION + CALENDAR

Within its 2009 edition and the theme “It’s About Time”, EXD and the Galp Energia Foundation invite architects, engineers and all respective firms to design a new infrastructure for the Portuguese capital.

Due to a shared vision for building a legacy of sustainability in Lisbon and Portugal, EXD and the Galp Energia Foundation are collaborating on this landmark project. The bridge will facilitate access over a main motorway for cyclists and pedestrians. Hence, also encouraging the increased use of bicycles in the city.

The competition is open to architects, engineers and all respective firms worldwide. The winner will be awarded €10,000 and, potentially, the contract to design the bridge (construction scheduled for 2010). In addition, there will be two runner-up cash prizes and two honourable mentions. The winning work and jury shortlist will be shown at the Lounging Space during EXD’09, between 4 October (announcement of winner) and 8 November 2009.

TEATRO CAMÕES

Amanda Levete and Professor António Adão da Fonseca will address the audience individually on the implications of civil projects on a city with particular reference to the anticipated cycling bridge in Lisbon. They will address pertinent issues of sustainability, social cohesion and urbanism.

ExperimentaDesign invited creative individuals from around the world to participate in its first-ever Video Competition.

EXD looked for daring creative work and unique visions that were both inspired, insightful, challenging and outside the box. Distinctive artistic statements in their own right, these video should have reflected the Biennale’s spirit and convey a particular vision of the theme for EXD’09: It’s about Time.

The jury decided not to award the prize to a winner because it considered that the goals were not achieved. EXD shortlisted 5 runners-up whom will be awarded with Free Passes:

Silverstream	Fernando Mamede Gomes / João Filipe Rocha Ferreira
Screen Clock	Pedro Ferreira Moreira
It’s About Time	Emanuel Lopes
From Inner to Outer	Jorge Reis
Untitled/	Ruy Otero / E Viveram Felizes para Sempre

EXD’09 thanks all participants of this competition.
