Photo essay developed by photographer Tiago Casanova on the Affordable Houses Estate in Mira-Sintra (Agualva-Cacém) / ICESA Estate (MdH a267), documenting one of the last estates erected by the dictatorship, designed by architects João Abel Manta, Alberto Pessoa and Gonçalo Ribeiro Teles as a modern "New Town" between 1965 e 1975. It is a singular estate, both for its condition as a product of a distinguished team of architects that were involved in such modern buildings as the Calouste Gulbenkian foundation headquarters in Lisbon, as for its dimension, density and clearly modern architectural language in the final years of the regime. This essay is composed of 100 black and white images, including multiple perspectives and aerial views, crossing documentary and artistic values in a unique documenting of an estate that is mostly "forgotten" within Portuguese housing history that may new be seen with fresh eyes.

MdH Conference Powerpoint Background

The documentary "Morada" suggests a cinematographic promenade through housing architecture built with the support of the State in Portugal and registered by the research project "Mapping Public Housing". Through a continuous movement across a ficticious address, contexts are suggested and some of the estates and buildings developed by public housing programmes between 1910 and 1974 are revealed.

HOW TO CITE
ROCHA MOREIRA, Marta, GONÇALVES, Eliseu, SILVA, Sérgio D. (coord.), CdH - Cadernos de Habitação, vol. 001 a 007, Porto: Universidade do Porto - Faculdade de Arquitectura, Projeto de Investigação (FCT) Mapa da Habitação, 2019 [print edition/digital edition].

The CADERNOS DE HABITAÇÃO (CDH Portugal) emerged from a cooperation agreement between Mapping Public Housing · MdH (FAUP-CEAU/FCT), GIVCO (ETSAM-UPM) and PC3 (FAUUSP) researchers which led to the portuguese version of “Cuadernos de Viviendas”, originally published by GIVCO – Grupo de Investigación en Vivienda Colectiva, with the supervision of the Main Research Prof. Carmen Espegel Alonso. The aim of this agreement is to systemize information on collective housing which will be made available to researchers, architects, public organizations and other interested parties.
