The ongoing post-doctoral research on the Modern Movement in Sub-Saharan Africa aims to recover a vision of modern architecture as a formal system still in force today, connecting local culture with global influence [SFRH/BPD/117157/2016]. It focuses on Portuguese-Angolan tropical architecture's potential, highlighting Castro Rodrigues, Simões de Carvalho and Vieira da Costa. These three authors' legacy represents Portuguese-Angolan architecture's potential, underlining this singular heritage's iconic, tectonic and programmatic qualities and its political, social, disciplinary and ideological motivations. However, the fight for independence and the subsequent conflicts in Angola interrupted this impulse-momentum, recognizing modernity as an unfinished project. Despite recognizing the fragility of these buildings without maintenance for more than fifty years, the majority still show a surprising kind of resilience. The proposed project methodology highlights the constructive and formal elements that solve innovatively and efficiently the site's adaptability. It aims to contribute to the urgency of elaborating sustainable proposals in the framework of maintaining and re-using modern housing complexes in the 21st century.
