O livro «Sete Círculos / Seven Circles», editado por Pedro Campos Costa e Eduardo Costa Pinto, pretende questionar os limites da cidade contemporânea a partir de uma nova leitura do território de Lisboa. Estes sete círculos são concêntricos, com o centro na Praça Marquês de Pombal. Enquanto Tiago Casanova fotografou o círculo menor, correspondente à antiga muralha fernandina e Duarte Belo fotografou o círculo maior, delimitado pela bacia hidrográfica do rio Tejo, os editores fotografaram os círculos intermédios. Para cada um dos círculos foram convidados dois autores de diferentes áreas disciplinares, criando-se assim diferentes perspectivas sobre a cidade de Lisboa:
C1. O historiador José Sarmento de Matos e o arquitecto Gonçalo Byrne;
C2. O arquitecto paisagista João Nunes e o escritor Gonçalo M. Tavares;
C3. O arquitecto Javier Arpa Fernandez e a artista Filippo Minelli;
C4. O engenheiro Mário Alves e a investigadora Olivia Bina;
C5. A filósofa Adriana Veríssimo Serrão e o geógrafo Francesc Muñoz;
C6. O urbanista Michael Sorkin e o geógrafo Álvaro Domingues;
C7. A arquitecta paisagista Mary Bowman e o geógrafo Eduardo Brito-Henriques.
