A couple of weeks ago, we featured the winners of the House in Luanda: Patio and Pavilion Competition promoted by the Lisbon Architecture Triennale together with Luanda Triennale. Now, we can have a better look at the winning proposal, designed by the team of Pedro Sousa, Tiago Ferreira, Tiago Coelho, Bárbara Silva, and Madalena Madureira.
More images and architect’s description after the break.
The house as a city, the city as a home Architecture and city aren’t separate themes; they are different manifestations of the same theme. The city isn’t simply the reunion of buildings or houses; it is a big and complex building. When we live in a city like luanda, with about 4.5 million habitants, we belong to a big metropolitan area, but also want to belong to a cozy, autonomous place that is a home.
