description
Participatory Architectures presents the results of the first field trip to Meia Praia, Algarve, for an investigative art project focused on the politics of space and mobility in the Southern Europe. It unfolds the architectural archive of the SAAL- the housing programme initiated after the Portuguese revolution of 1974- in the context of the touristic coastline of the European Union. The quarter 25th April, made out of 41 houses built collectively by the so-called Índios (Indigenous) of Meia Praia is a radical experiment in participatory architecture, articulating the strong association between the local community and the littoral, a linkage that transformed the quarter into the vulnerable target of a spatial segregation campaign since the extinction of the SAAL programme in 1976.
