The project" Beyond Modern Housing Heritage of Portuguese Influence, an Optimistic Architecture for Living. Comparative and Multi-Situated Perspectives on Modern Dwellings and Surrounding" explores the innovative design of the modern lifestyle achieved in modern Portuguese expression. Reloading collective housing as the core of optimistic architecture aims to establish a framework of conceptual thinking on the significance of this housing heritage, its preservation, and some of the pivotal issues concerning renewal and valorisation. Considering Architecture as a geographically and temporally localised discipline, the guiding idea is to include projects from different territories to avoid generalisations in the interest of reviewing the facts themselves. Comparative studies on residential complexes built after the Second World War will assess the impact of the building boom in Lisbon, Recife, Luanda, Maputo and Macao. The proposal will address how the efforts of Portuguese architects changed colonial strategies regarding daily life. Studying modern domestic spaces will trace their growth and their undoubted contributions to raising challenges and procedures for preserving collective housing, which is an issue at the top of the contemporary agenda. The first level establishes a direct relationship between housing and modernity through spatial planning and architectural analysis, evaluating the quality of the built environment. At the intermediate level, the aim is to distinguish innovative techniques and sustainable approaches, which can be accomplished through a popular architecture survey within technological innovation. To address this question, at a deeper level, I will examine the resilience of these complexes, including the residents' aspirations today, by looking into urban space, typology, (in)formal distribution spaces, and current innovative constructive systems. Confirming that living in a well-lit, airy and energy-efficient house is a decisive variable in future urban life and the maintenance of modern heritage, the project's primary goal is to map the form of modern dwelling. Could it be possible to reassert its original innovative and sustainable building systems by involving new stakeholders? Instead of discussing demolition, can the growing phenomenon of heritage valorisation capture new financing markets? This research project will contribute to the scientific knowledge in recent debates on socially engaged practices in urban planning, architecture and construction, creating an international network that can bring together researchers and practitioners on collective housing. It will constitute alternatives for renewal by assessing the performance and quality of the built environment as part of the decision-making process to keep these complexes alive. By proposing solutions for improving these neighbourhoods according to contemporary comfort standards, they can be recognised as paradigms of modern architecture and preserved in their integrity.
