A Escola do Porto: um mapa crítico

Return to the Debaixo da Telha Collection

The Porto School, as a reference for a way of doing, associated with a way of thinking rarely exposed, is the epicenter of architectural culture in the last four decades of 20th-century Portuguese architecture.
Being an object of affection circulating in a shifting ideological space, yet nonetheless characterized, the Porto School is continuously taken by contradictions and adversities arising from the very circumstances of the political and cultural landscape of the country, both before and after April 25th.
These changes will hardly be noticed until it becomes impossible to stop the inevitable collapse and the inevitable notoriety.
