A Puta da Leitura: Book Reviews

A PUTA DA LEITURA. Books, Talks, Radio and Drinks. Concerned with publishing in architecture and curious about diverse perspectives taking shape of a book, a magazine or a newspaper, A PUTA DA LEITURA emerges as a pop-up book store, organised by Antecâmara Radio and Gallery, and curated by Julia Albani. A PUTA DA LEITURA: BOOK REVIEWS is a podcast of audio book reviews, that were produced for and discussed during the TALKS. Julia Albani is Lisbon-based curator, critic and communication strategist, specialized in inspiring and facilitating exchange between individuals and institutions within the fields of humanizing architecture and urbanism. She has studied Art and Architectural History, Philosophy and Literature in Dresden, Bologna, Barcelona and Berlin. She has been Managing Director at the Swiss Architecture Museum in Basel (2007-2009), Co-Curator of the Portuguese representation at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2010, Head of the curatorial department at the Lisbon Architecture Triennale (2009-2012), and was Co-Director of BUREAU N in Berlin, Basel and Lisbon (2012-2016). In 2016, she joined the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) as Associate Director, Communications, and, since September 2018, leads the CCA’s international relations.
