An unprecedented book that reveals 40 houses in Colares, showing, from a historical and artistic point of view, the best modern architecture of a vacation region par excellence.

Hi! My name is João Cardim and I was born in a holiday home on Avenida do Atlântico, between Colares and Praia Grande, right in front of the tram line. I always remember liking architecture, and it always fascinated me to walk through the pine forest, discover new paths and peek at the houses that appeared through the trees. A few years ago I decided to unite these two passions and get to know my land more deeply. This book is the result!

Support the publication of a large-format book of unequivocal cultural and documentary interest, with 160 pages and 200 illustrations, including archival images, original drawings and current photographs made expressly for this publication.

This is the first study entirely dedicated to the evolution of seasonal architecture in the Colares region, covering a vast territory, from Cabo da Roca to Azenhas do Mar, passing through emblematic places such as Almoçageme, Praia Grande, Rodízio, Banzão, Pinhal da Nazaré, Praia das Maçãs, among others; and including reference centers such as Bairro dos Arquitectos, Bairro dos Alemães or Bairro dos Aviadores.

Casa do arq. Artur Rosa

In addition to a historical analysis of the summer experience between Sintra and Colares, analyzing the cultural and social phenomenon of the precociously developed "villa" ideology in this privileged region, 40 examples of the best domestic holiday architecture from 1940 to 1970 will be revealed in greater depth, most of them never previously published, which reflect the aspirations of the families who, seduced by the unique character of the area, left the marks of a lifestyle that somehow still persists. Importance is also given to a whole network of facilities that have been established there: swimming pools, hotels, holiday camps, etc.

A rigorous work, completed in an attractive and educational result, which will interest visitors to the region who want to know it better, and professionals in the fields of architecture, landscaping and interior design, who want to be inspired by the best Portuguese architects of that time, from Conceição Silva to Keil do Amaral, Nuno Teotónio Pereira and Nuno Portas, Faria da Costa and Raul Tojal, Victor Palla and Bento d'Almeida, Frederico George, Manuel Tainha, Artur Rosa, Justino Morais, among others, many times with the participation of renowned plastic artists, such as Maria Keil, Fred Kradolfer, Jorge Barradas and Querubim Lapa.

This book is the result of the joint effort of João Cardim, architect and author of the text, and Filipe Jorge, architect, author of photographs and editorial director of ARGUMENTUM. Texts by Teresa Valsassina Heitor and Pitum Keil do Amaral are also included.

To make the publication of the book economically viable, we decided to launch this crowdfunding campaign. The edition will have the following characteristics:

- Format: 23 cm x 31 cm

- Number of pages: 160 pages

- 4/4 color printing on 170 gr coated paper

- Hard cover, laminated to matte

- Circulation: 1,000 copies;

- PVP: 30€

- Release: December 2021

    Distribuição dos livros

    Boa tarde! Votos de um Feliz 2022!

    Ainda falta distribuir alguns livros a apoiantes do crowdfunding. Parei a distribuição porta a porta por volta do Natal devido às restrições em torno da covid-19, mas conto retomar para a semana que vem. Peço desculpa a quem ainda não recebeu o livro.

    Qualquer dúvida ou para combinarmos a entrega podem-me contactar através do 967318795 ou do email: arq.cardim@gmail.com

    Entretanto, o livro já se encontra à venda em algumas livrarias, tanto físicas como online. De qualquer maneira, caso queiram adquirir mais livros podem sempre contactar directamente a editora através do email: geral@argumentum.pt

    Muito obrigado de novo pelo apoio a este projecto e um forte abraço!

    Agradecimentos no livro

    Olá! Quero começar por agradecer a todos os mais de 100 apoiantes do nosso projecto. O sucesso da campanha até agora superou todas as nossas expectativas, o que só reforça o nosso esforço em levar até vós o livro nas melhores condições.

    A justa expectativa criada junto dos nossos apoiantes é a de que o livro esteja pronto para ser oferecido no Natal. Para tal acontecer, estamos muito empenhados na recta final antes do livro seguir para a gráfica, o que deve acontecer no início da próxima semana.

    Isto significa que os apoiantes que façam contribuições após um determinado dia da próxima semana (ainda por definir), quando o livro seguir para a gráfica, já não verão o seu nome na lista de agradecimentos. No entanto, todos os apoiantes que já contribuíram , bem como os que contribuírem até esse dia, terão o seu nome na lista.

    Neste sentido, e para ser justo para com os que já apoiaram, pedi para retirar das recompensas a frase “menção do(s) apoiante(s) nos agradecimentos do livro”, para não criar falsas expectativas. Tentarei encontrar uma maneira de agradecer, de uma outra maneira, aos apoiantes desta recta final, até 17 de Dezembro.

    Peço-vos que continuem a divulgar a campanha, pois apesar de estarmos próximos do nosso objectivo, ainda falta um esforço final.
    Muito obrigado pelo vosso apoio e espero que gostem do livro!
