hi everyone, sorry to post this in english, but i have only a veeery limited knowledge of portuguese (not much more than 'uma cerveja por favor' and 'onde sao es toiletas' ). but i thought that i would reach more people this way. i am a young architect working for Crepain Binst Architecture nv in antwerp, belgium. we are an architecture studio of about 70 people with a wide range of projects, from single family houses over offices to large scale housing projects. for some samples of our work: www.crepainbinst.be. every year we make an architecture trip to study and visit recent projects. recent trips include finland in 2005 (alvar aalto) and the venice biennale in 2006. these trips usually take 4 to 5 days in which we try to see some remarkable projects. this year our favoured destination is portugal. we are currently looking for projects to visit. of course the 'classics' are already on our list (souto, siza, casa da musica, oriente station,...) but we are trying to find some more specific projects. we really like aires mateus for example, but i am sure that there are lots of other offices that we do not know about but who have great works too. so i would like to ask everyone interested to post architects/projects/cities/villages that you think are worth seeing. we would focus on lisbon and the environs, possibly extending the trip to lisbon. anyway thanks for your responses in advance! bye edwin
