	Trienal 2010 "Home from Home" Watch the installation literally unfold in front of you... Home from Home was an installation by London-based practice Carl Turner Architects that examines British domestic life. A series of modules, representing a reduced scale house, give the opportunity to explore everyday design and pose the question, what makes a home? The installation was organised by the British Council as part of New Architects: Portugal_UK, the latest in a series of New Architects International Exchange programmes initiated by The Architecture Foundation. The Portugal_UK exchange, partnered with Ordem dos Arquitectos, allows a platform for discussion between young architects from both countries, and responded to the 2010 Lisbon Architecture Triennale theme ‘Let’s talk about houses’.

Lecture by Sir Peter Cook
The British Council, in partnership with the Trienal, organised a public lecture in October by Sir Peter Cook, invited curator of The Nordic Connection within the Triennale exhibition "Falemos de Casas - Entre o Norte e o Sul", on display at the Museu Colecção Berardo, Lisbon.

Peter Cook is constantly hunting inside his head to recall and reinvent a world where the experience of the city is not just a question of filling-in old blocks with new blocks - or even new swirls - but digging around in the sandwich of experience between the cosy, the exposed, the craggy, the smooth, the mechanized, the vegetated, the private, the peeping-out, the public, the celebratory and the contemplative. He believes that his architecture is about the variety of experience.

Poem - Falemos de Casas - Let's Talk About Houses
Houses, yes, let’s talk about houses, about
the wise use of so solid and silent
a power, hailing from ancient times.
Here are the architects, the ones who are going to die,
smiling with sweet irony in the depths
of a rare secret that restores them to clay.
The ones with soft irrepressible hands.
— Across the months, dreaming of the last rains,
the houses discover their innocent knack for enduring against
the subtle mouth crowned by the chaos of words.
