The Everyday through the Lens
What are the possibilities that photography can offer to challenge visual narratives of architecture? As a critical practice, photographs can disclose everyday microhistories, marginalized actors, and contradictions that are generally excluded from the visual discourse of architectural representation.
Based on the work of Brazilian architect and photographer Ciro Miguel, the lecture will discuss the different uses of photography and its entanglements with design, research, and the everyday.

Ciro Miguel is an architect, visual artist, and photographer based in Zurich and São Paulo.
Currently a doctoral fellow at ETH Zurich/gta institute. Ciro Miguel curated with Charlotte Malterre-Barthes and Vanessa Grossman the 12th International Architecture Biennale of São Paulo entitled ‘Todo dia/Everyday’ in Centro Cultural São Paulo and Sesc 24 de Maio (Sep-Dec. 2019). The book Everyday: A Discreet Power in Architecture received a grant by the Graham Foundation and it is expected to be published in 2020.
At ETH Zurich, Ciro taught architectural design at the chair of Angelo Bucci (2013) and Marc Angélil (2014-2019), focusing on collective spaces, inclusiveness, tectonics and the interplay between buildings and the city’s every day. Ciro has been lecturing in many universities including FAU USP, Escola da Cidade, FAU Santos, TU Munich, UIC Chicago, Pratt Institute, Politécnico di Milano and ITU Istanbul.
As a practitioner, he was a partner at Angelo Bucci/ SPBR arquitetos (2003–07, 2010–13) where he designed many awarded and recognized projects like the Mediateca PUC Rio (Silver medal Holcim Awards 2008), Ubatuba House (2009), Weekend House (Mies Crown Hall America’s Prize – Finalist 2014), Lugano apartment building (2010) and the urban proposal A New MAM which was exhibited at the Venice Biennale (2016). From 2008-2010, he was an architectural designer at Bernard Tschumi Architects in New York.
As a photographer, Ciro was commissioned by Architekturmuseum der TUM in der Pinakothek der Moderne to document the daily appropriation of collective spaces in São Paulo for the show ‘Access for All: São Paulo’s Architectural Infrastructures’ (2019) curated by Daniel Talesnik and its catalog, published by Park Books. The exhibition is currently at the Center for Architecture in New York and it will also be part of the Venice Biennale in 2021. His pictures have been published in many magazines including The Architecture Review (UK), Archithese (CH), Assemble Papers (AUS), Plot (ARG) and de Architect (NED).
As a visual artist, Ciro exhibited in many galleries in Brasil and Europe, like Studio-X (Rio de Janeiro), Pavillon de l’ Arsenal (Paris), CAMPO (Rome) and Itaú Cultural (São Paulo).
