As an extension of the exhibition of the same name at the Casa da Arquitectura, the book offers a perspective of architecture as both a reflection and driver of the democratic regime, presenting 50 significant works – 49 built projects and one unbuilt proposal – that have shaped the past fifty years. More than a historical overview,the publication raises essential questions about the role of architecture in the construction of a fairer and more inclusive society. It also features six original essays by national and international authors, offering critical insights and enriching the understanding of architecture as a tool for social and urban transformation.
