The Casa de Serralves is a celebrated modernist icon. Designed between Porto and Paris (1925-43), in the superimposed work of five architects, the villa is revealed through large scale photographs by João Carmo Simões and edited drawings. This referential work brings together avant-garde and traditional desires - an ambiguity that forged generations of architects.
