On 22 September, we invite you to the lecture ‘Assembly Matters’ by Portuguese architect and founder of the studio SUMMARY, Samuel Gonçalves.

SUMMARY is focused on accelerating and simplifying construction through modular systems and prefabrication. With a pragmatic yet experimental approach, the studio has developed a range of building solutions aimed at optimising time, resources, and the construction process itself.

From installations at the Venice Biennale and virtual exhibitions to large-scale projects such as educational and public housing buildings, SUMMARY explores how off-site production can be a powerful tool for rethinking the way we build.

In this lecture, Samuel Gonçalves will present SUMMARY’s work, reflecting on how industrialised construction methods can benefit cities, improve conditions for workers, and address the often invisible environmental weight of buildings. The selected projects explore the combination of prefabrication with alternative architectural production methods, biobased materials, and space rehabilitation and adaptive reuse.

When? 22 September, 19:00
Where? At the office of Architektūros fondas’ patrons, DO ARCHITECTS, Betono aklg. 16, Vilnius.

The event is free and requires no registration. The lecture will be held in English.
