pres Z, please
"From Bauhaus to the New House — Post-Covid Landscapes" is a play on the title of a book by Tom Wolfe, "From Bauhaus to Our House", a satire of the modern design school and culture.
It adapts the subject matter to the present day, more than 100 years after the foundation of the German school, with the aim of giving architecture, art, design and culture in general a decisive role in the future of post-pandemic design.
The aim of this conference is to build bridges between science and art, between economics and culture, and between society and architecture.
It considers interdisciplinarity and collaborative processes as being central to our times, bringing together contributions from diverse agents and geographic regions in Europe and the whole world

Portugal Day , officially Day of Portugal, Camões, and the Portuguese Communities , is the National Day of Portugal celebrated annually on 10 June and celebrated by Portuguese people throughout the world.
It commemorates the death on 10 June 1580 of Luís de Camões, a poet and national literary icon.
Luís Vaz de Camões is considered Portugal's and the Portuguese language's greatest poet. His mastery of verse has been compared to that of Shakespeare, Vondel, Homer, Virgil and Dante. He wrote a considerable amount of lyrical poetry and drama but is best remembered for his epic work Os Lusíadas (The Lusiads). The influence of his masterpiece Os Lusíadas is so profound that Portuguese is sometimes called the "language of Camões".
Os Lusíadas is a Portuguese epic poem written by Luís Vaz de Camões (c. 1524/5 – 1580) and first published in 1572.
It is widely regarded as the most important work of Portuguese literature and the work celebrates the discovery of a sea route to India by the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama (1469–1524).
Written in Homeric fashion, the poem focuses mainly on a fantastic interpretation of the Portuguese voyages of discovery during the 15th and 16th centuries.
Os Lusíadas is often regarded as Portugal's national epic, much as Virgil's Aeneid was for the Ancient Romans, or Homer's Iliad and Odyssey for the Ancient Greeks

Luís de Camões is world famous as the author of the great Renaissance epic The Lusíads, but his large and equally great body of lyric poetry is still almost completely unknown outside his native Portugal. The collection of Camões's sonnets, songs, elegies, hymns, odes, eclogues, and other poems--more than 280 lyrics altogether, all rendered in engaging verse.
Camões (1524-1580) was the first great European artist to cross into the Southern Hemisphere, and his poetry bears the marks of nearly two decades spent in north and east Africa, the Persian Gulf, India, and Macau. From an elegy set in Morocco, to a hymn written at Cape Guardafui on the northern tip of Somalia, to the first modern European love poems for a non-European woman, these lyrics reflect Camões's encounters with radically unfamiliar peoples and places.
