Concéntrico Brazil Tour

Belo Horizonte, Porto Alegre, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo

From 18 to 29 August 2026

This August, Concéntrico travels across four Brazilian cities to share ten years of experience in architecture, public space and urban life. The tour brings together local architects, collectives and institutions in Belo Horizonte, Porto Alegre, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, culminating at Escola da Cidade with a workshop, a public conversation and the presentation of Concéntrico: Urban Innovation Laboratory.

The programme includes lectures, conversations, workshops and presentations with Brígida Campbell, Piseagrama, sauermartins, GRUA Arquitetos, Adriana Sansão, Marcela Marques Abla, Pedro Rossi and CLUBE. Together, they represent a range of perspectives from architecture, research, publishing, art and cultural practice that are shaping some of the most compelling conversations around cities and public space in Brazil today.

Supported by Instituto Cervantes and developed in collaboration with Instituto de Arquitetos do Brasil (IAB), PROURB, UFRJ and Escola da Cidade, the tour expands Concéntrico’s network of collaborations across Latin America while sharing a decade of projects and research on public space.
