Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Architecture / bienais de arquitetura
Portuguese term or phrase: coletivos
Na faculdade, formar coletivos de arquitetura é uma estratégia de sobrevivência para começar a se consolidar na carreira. Para quem já atua no mercado há algum tempo, é uma alternativa interessante aos profissionais que compartilham ideias parecidas. A formação de coletivos é diversa. Os grupos podem ser formados por profissionais que têm afinidade pessoal e profissional, por equipes multidisciplinares ou até por uma causa comum. 'Muitos se juntam para aumentar a capacidade produtiva dos escritórios, para abranger projetos maiores e para juntar competências diversas que, somadas, possam atrair novas possibilidades de trabalhos', ...

O texto em inglês que preciso traduzir fala que uma bienal procura atuar de diversas e transformadoras formas "junto a agentes que atuam sobre a cidade, de arquitetos a coletivos, do poder público à iniciativa privada"

Coletivos devem ser coletivos de arquitetura. Já existe um termo para tal?
