The publication opens with an analysis of the Condomínio Gondarém building—designed in 1982 in Foz do Porto by João Guimarães Serôdio—offering a critical revisitation of an architect whose understated presence in historiography contrasts with the enduring impact of his work on Porto’s urban fabric and daily life. Focusing on this housing project, the book uses it as a lens to examine the city’s transformation during the 1980s, a period of profound urban, social, and architectural change. Through essays and archival materials, the publication investigates collective housing, everyday life, and the broader processes of urban transition. The book brings together critical essays, including a text by Pedro Serôdio—the architect's grandson—which introduces a personal and intergenerational dimension, and photographs by Giovanna Silva, which offer a reading that is both documentary and authorial of the work.
