The third edition of the \;Colonial and Post-Colonial Landscapes Congress will take place in Lisbon\, Portugal\, at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundat ion\, from 11-13 February 2026. The conference will intersect the topics o f \;Architecture\, Colonialism and Labour.

Al though a common topic in colonial historiography\, the influence of large- scale labour on the production of the built environment &mdash\;including the design\, construction\, and maintenance of infrastructure\, buildings and landscapes&mdash\;has not been fully explored in the context of coloni al architecture. The issue has significant implications not only for the d escription of past societies\, but also for understanding and supporting c ontemporary communities with a colonial past and their relationship to the production of space. Linking architecture and labour in these contexts of fers a promising avenue for addressing some of the challenges encountered by postcolonial societies. These include the relationship with "Western" c onstruction technologies and materials\, the scarcity of traditional build ing systems and their undervalued insights into climate adaptation and sus tainable solutions\, and persistent racial and gender inequalities in publ ic works labour environments.

The congress welcom es contributions from diverse geographical\, disciplinary\, and chronologi cal backgrounds to encourage a broad and stimulating debate that cuts acro ss the histories of colonial architecture\, labour and social history\, an d construction technology.

We invite proposals fo r sessions that include: &ndash\; Title\; &n dash\; Identification of chair(s) with institutional affiliation and email contact(s)\; &ndash\; Abstract (max. 300 words)\; &ndash\; Summary CV of the chair(s). Pre-organized session proposals (max. 5 papers) are also wel come.
