Lusophone architects represent 18 per cent of the world’s professionals, a “significant” percentage, Rui Leão, president of the International Council of Portuguese Language Architects (CIALP) – which celebrates 30 years of existence this year – told Lusa.
The non-governmental organization (NGO) is formed by members of the professional architectural orders of Portuguese-speaking countries and territories, which “represent a population of more than 230,000 architects”, which corresponds to “18% of the world’s architects”, said Leão.
The president of CIALP recalled that the NGO, created in 1991, and comprising Brazil, Portugal, Angola, São Tomé and Príncipe, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Goa and Macau, “precedes the creation of the CPLP [Community of Portuguese Language Countries]”, founded in 1996, defending the importance of the association to promote “shared culture” in these territories.
