→ INTERMÉDIOS - PRACTICES
>> LAUNCH: 17th October 2025, 19h00, TYPOGRAPHIA COWORK, Campo dos Mártires da Pátria 144 A, 4050-368, Porto,<<
PRACTICES 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.
Re-use practices, inherently linked to construction itself, have persisted with resilience through various expressions: cultural, aesthetic, economic, technological, social or political.
This essay places side by side examples of re-use based on historical and heritage value, vernacular culture or informal use of opportunity, conceived in formal architectural design methods or self-built. These cases all originate exclusively from Portugal, seeking to highlight the diversity of local approaches.
On this journey, with no predefined route, evidence of re-use PRACTICES was identified that pointed to new practices. From this research a re-use universe full of affinities emerged, sometimes unexpected or unlikely: textures, patterns, colours, geometries, stereotomies, techniques, combinations, opportunities,
attitudes, perspectives, intentions, provocations, paths, values,
or reinterpretations. A universe of re-use emerged where the conceptual boundaries of the various practices are blurred and where the practices and agents of design, construction, heritage and project merge.
