The publishing house, bookshop and architecture gallery Circo de Ideias is once again joining the festival for a conversation, this time with guest directors Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine, moderated by Mariana Pestana, chief curator of the Architecture Center at MAC/CCB. In this debate, the guests reflect on how space affects our physical, psychological and emotional state.

Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine explore this question in the book "The Emotional Power of Space" through lively and intimate conversations with twelve renowned architects for whom perception and sensoriality play a central role in their work. This book gathers stories of sensibility which reveal the intuitive and irrational forces at play in our relation to space.
