9 Bouça Housing Complex Rua Melo II Porto This project, from 1973, was integrated in the program SAAL in Porto to create social housing for poor people And even though it was made through highly controlled costs, Siza Vieira managed to create a housing complex that is worth studying and visiting In 1977 there where only two blocks completed Nowadays, in 2004, all the blocks were concluded and a new life was given to this complex Instead of having only poor people living here, the low prices and high quality living attracted artists, architects and young couples to settle in With four levels, each block present an articulation in terms of passages that connect the whole complex Together with the housing units there is also commercial spaces and green open spaces 2004, Urban planner Alvaro Siza Vieira SAAL Joao_Sousa Only the public spaces are public, it's a housing complex Take the subway in Porto till the station "Lapa" it's right there! 9

10 photo: Carlos Dias photo: Tiago Oliveira Piscina das Marés Avenida da Liberdade Matosinhos Developed and built between 1961 and 1966, this building became one of the most interesting buildings to visit in Porto since Álvaro Siza designed it As still a young architect, Siza was appointed to design a new swimming pool at Leça da Palmeira right between the rocks and the sea He spent months drawing and feeling the environment so he could design a building that fitted perfectly along the shore It's architecture made from the site and for the site All the materials are raw Concrete, wood and steel are all processed with traditional techniques of constructing photo: Tobias 1966, Artist, Urban planner Alvaro Siza Vieira Joao_Sousa Câmara Municipal de Matosinhos From May to September: Monday to Sunday from 9:00h till 20:00h There are buses coming from the center of Porto By car take the highway A28 from Porto to the north and exit to "Leixões" Port From there go always straight ahead near the sea till you reach the big avenue where it is 10
