The online seminar APD – Architecture, Public Art, Drawing is part of the initiative “Transatlantic Dialogs” a program aimed at fostering transatlantic dialogue dynamics on Architecture, Urbanism, Public Art, Participation, Drawing, and the Environment. This dialogue aims to develop among professors, researchers, curators, public administrators, producers, and artists.

This initiative is co-produced by researcher Dr. Pedro Soares Neves from the University of Lisbon and Prof. Dr. Lilian Amaral from the University of São Paulo, who are organizing two synchronous seminars, one in Europe and another in America, namely APD - Architecture, Public Art, Design (online) and the Nomadic Seminar Expedition Valongo (hybrid).
