>> LAUNCH: 17th October 2025, 19h00, TYPOGRAPHIA COWORK, Campo dos Mártires da Pátria 144 A, 4050-368, Porto,<<
PORTAS is one of the first two publications in a series of collective visual essays, INTERMÉDIOS, with no pre-defined order, dedicated to the theme of re-use of salvaged building components.
Doors, originally designed to establish borders or passageways, are one of the architectural elements in the world of construction with the greatest rate and variety of re-use.
This essay, intentionally confined to Portuguese territory, goes through some examples of these cultures of door re-use, to make visible the stories of previous lives and new applications.
The journey through the DOORS that accompanied the research opened up new perspectives on the universe of re-use such as: the confrontation with DOORS AT RISK, threatened by abandonment or disposal as waste; the observation of DOORS IN WAITING for other uses, in a state of apparent suspension; direct re-use with DOORS BEING DOORS; the re-reading of the shapes and material properties of doors to apply to DOORS NOT BEING DOORS; or, finally, the arrangement of DOORS AS OBJECTS, to preserve the memories of the doors themselves, resignify them or deconstruct them.
