Embrace the Delirium!

An ode to creative thinking and the drawing of futures is born. Ode-Lírio, conceived by former students of the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Lisbon, emerges with a clear mission: to sustain and allow ideas to flourish. Through the organization and promotion of competitions in the fields of architecture and design, we open a platform for students and professionals to express their deliria.

Unique in being guided by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we foster reflection and action on the urgent issues of our time, challenging the limits imposed by practice and academia. Ode-Lírio seeks to be a free space where creativity unfolds across multiple dimensions: the disciplinary, the abstract, the lyrical, the physical, and the oneiric.

We believe that competitions are acts of creation and laboratories for disruptive ideas. Each challenge is a bridge between theory and practice, offering real experience and building skills that prepare participants to face the challenges of a constantly evolving market.

Our mission, therefore, is to provide an inclusive and accessible digital environment where collaboration and creativity flow naturally through our platform — a meeting point, a network.

We are committed to rigor and transparency at every stage of the process, ensuring that all those involved find in Ode-Lírio a valuable and beneficial partner. In a context where financial constraints and heavy workloads are present challenges within the discipline, we aim to create favorable conditions for personal and collective growth, supported by a vibrant network where emerging talent inevitably flourishes.

Project an Ode, Embrace the Delirium.
