Housing for the Greatest Number in Lisbon (1960s-1970s): Olivais and Telheiras. The Analysis of Domestic Space in Relation to the Ways of Life of Different Social Classes

Olivais Norte (1955-1959), Olivais Sul (1960-1964) and Telheiras Sul (1974) are paradigmatic cases that demonstrate how in Lisbon, with state support, developments on a city scale were able to address the question of housing for the greatest number. They embodied the idea that resolving the housing question meant thinking not only about the dwelling space, but also about developing integrated projects that balanced everything involved in the functioning of human life in an urban context. Thinking about “habitat” necessarily implied thinking about the relationships between the individual and the collective.

The Analysis of Domestic Space in Relation to the Ways of Life of Different Social Classes appeared first on Architektúra & Urbanizmus - JOURNAL.
