Casa de Serralves hosts the launch and talk around the book ‘Casa de Serralves’, published by Monade, on 9 November at 4p.m.

The talk will be led by Daniela Sá, editor of Monade, and will include João Carmo Simões, author of the photo essay, and architects Rodrigo Costa Lima, Amélia Brandão Costa and André Tavares.

The Casa de Serralves is a celebrated modernist icon. Designed between Porto and Paris (1925-43), in the superimposed work of five architects, the villa is revealed through large scale photographs by João Carmo Simões and edited drawings. This referential work brings together avant-garde and traditional desires – an ambiguity that forged generations of architects.
