Workshops & Facilities
DE L LI Office The DELLI Office is our open workspace, where everything happens. It is central space for our programme, working as an hybrid educational, production, debate and sharing model. A variety of tools and means of production are available to the students during and beyond the context of the courses: 3D printing, laser cutting, plotters, risography, digital copiers which cohabit with multiple printing techniques such as screen-printing, fax machines, mimeography, or impact printing, as well as letterpress. The majority of our courses are taught here, and it is also the space where parallel programmes are run, including those which are student-organised, such as cinema and reading sessions.

Cooking Method for the Cycle of Water, 2024Project website: cookingmethodforthecycleofwater.siteSetting the table is an act of provocation. We incite the other, the body, the thought and the senses, words or silence. Like a performance, it opens up space for dialogue. Like a ritual, it brings us together or pushes us apart. This project is part of the Project course’s activities with the second year students of the Communication Design degree, supervised by Professor Marta Guerra Belo.
The pedagogical and creative project Counter-Masks: Weaving Dialogues supervised by our teacher Rita Carvalho was awarded the Fazer+ Prize (Best Innovative Pedagogical Practice). The counter-masks were exhibited in the Duas verdades, uma mentira exhibition at the P31 gallery in Lisbon (2024).
