Excellent- More about Portugal Lessons - Environmental Objects. Teaching and Research in Architecture
Architectural objects confront their environment, questioning separation between symbolic landmark and landscape background. Portugal Lessons explores contextualism in Portugal, focusing on architectural boundary with whom we live, to whom we open our house, and how permeable it should be.

Architectural objects engage with their surroundings, blurring the boundaries between them and forming a unique perspective within. By viewing architecture as environmental entities, we challenge the traditional dichotomy between symbolic landmarks and the backdrop of the landscape. This perspective fosters an architecture that enhances nature, harmonizes with it, and brings us closer to its essence.
Portugal Lessons serves as a captivating case study that delves beyond the realm of design and explores contextualism in architecture. Through the lens of the latest research program conducted by EPFL's Laboratory Basel (laba), the book explores the intricate topic of this architectural boundary: who we live with, who we invite into our homes, and the level of permeability that should exist. The findings are presented through striking images, graphics, and maps, visually conveying the insights gained. Additionally, the book features proposals for architectural interventions crafted by laba's students, each addressing critical issues related to housing.
This approach to architecture goes beyond mere aesthetics and seeks to create a deeper connection between humans and their environment. By understanding the nuances of context, architects can design buildings that not only serve functional purposes but also enhance the quality of life and promote a sense of belonging. Portugal Lessons offers a valuable exploration of this concept, showcasing the potential of architecture to shape our surroundings and inspire positive change.
