A@W Lisbon 2026

The main reason for visiting is that A@W is THE meeting place for specifiers such as architects and interior designers to discover innovative products. This takes place in a custom-designed concept, where all attention is focused on the innovations approved by a judging panel. A@W also offers an extensive seminar and features programme. The aisles have been transformed into cozy lounge areas with free catering. Here, specifiers can exchange ideas with technical advisors and fellow architects.

For its fourth edition, ARCHITECT@WORK Lisbon introduces Infinite Matter as its new theme, inviting visitors to rethink the relationship between architecture, materials and circularity. At a time when the construction sector is seeking to reduce its environmental impact, Infinite Matter explores the potential of materials derived from agricultural, food, textile and industrial waste streams, as well as resources recovered from existing buildings.
The theme proposes a new way of understanding matter: not as a finite resource destined to become waste, but as part of a continuous cycle of transformation and reuse. From bio-based materials to solutions developed from by-products and reclaimed resources, innovation is proving that waste can become a valuable resource for the architecture of tomorrow.
Infinite Matter highlights how material choices are also choices about the future. Designing with reuse, recycling and regeneration in mind is an essential step towards creating a more sustainable and resilient built environment.
