Porto Academy and Test-it LAB just set up an agreement for checking the PA community so everyone is COVID-free and safe to fully enjoy the week in Porto.

We kindly ask you to by the time of Check-in, to please present a Negative Valid Test together with your Identification documents. In case you do not have a Covid Test, or the test is not considered valid, the LAB will be there to make new tests. Only those with negative tests will be allowed to stay in the school.

We will follow the guidelines from the School of Architecture according to the instructions of the National Health Department which will be explained on the first day.
We have all the conditions to make the summer school happen inside the school and outside, but all the outside activities will be promoted, everytime the weather allows it.

Each studio is composed of a Workshop Leader, an Assistant, one Porto Academy’s collaborator and around 20 students.
The Workshop Leader is responsible for defining the workshop theme, its aims and its process. The Workshop Leader will assist the students’ work, arranging the final presentation together with the Assistant and the participants.
The Workshop Leader, Assistant and participants are responsible for the cleaning of the room on the last day of Porto Academy.
Each participant is responsible for taking good care of the building, the room, and furniture. Any damage caused will be at the participant’s responsibility.
Any class, activity or expenses regarding the studio work made outside the Faculty campus are not of responsibility of Porto Academy.

Studio selection is made after registration and confirmation of payment. Participants will be assigned a studio, accordingly to their preferences. Please note that registration is only confirmed after payment is complete.

The participant will fulfill a registration form with the name of the workshop leaders and select the studios by order of preference. The first option will be considered unless the number of participants exceeds the vacancies of each studio. When this happens, a sortition will be made so participants will be placed on their second option, third option, etc. In the end, all the classes should have the same number of students.

During ‘Check in’, studio distribution is announced. Porto Academy participants are only allowed to change if they find a direct switch with another participant.

Participants should bring their own laptop computers. Please ensure that all your own equipment is covered by your insurance.
Porto Academy will not display or offer any material for model making; only cutters and rulers will be available but limited to the existent stock.

Booklets should be in A5 format and include teacher name, assistant’s name, participants’ name; small text explaining the aim of the studio work and small text with Porto Academy presentation.
The design and content of the booklet is from the entire responsibility of the teacher, assistant and participants.
Porto Academy has the copyrights for any publication regarding Porto Academy courses including the booklets.

Lectures will be held in Fernando Távora auditorium at FAUP, the same building where the workshops will happen.
Participants and Guests are advised to be on time in the auditorium. Between lectures a small coffee break time is held. Porto Academy advises not to eat inside the auditorium.
The lectures as well as the workshops are held in English so everybody can understand as we always have participants from more than 50 different countries.
