Résumé:
Lisbon is being ravaged by an unprecedented housing crisis. The exponential increase of prices, the combined outcome of the financialisation of housing and the lack of continued investment of public policies, means that every Portuguese person is, or knows someone who is, affected by the crisis. There is a restless public debate, but little has been told about the buildings that will give shape to the political strategies that are being conceived and implemented. Which city do we wish to build to face the problem? What can be the role of architecture in this context? "Living in Lisbon" concisely presents the conjecture and possibilities of action to think about the building of the city. The book includes an overview of the most charismatic architectures resulting from public housing policies that have been built in Lisbon over the course of 50 years of democracy, describes the main projects that are currently on the table, presents analytical visions of the present situation and freely envisions plans for the future in the form of dialogue, essay or manifesto.

Résumé:
Manuel and Francisco Aires Mateus are adamant when they say it is very interesting to work outside their home country of Portugal, but it is especially stimulating to return. In interviews, however, they have often pointed to the problems they are faced with when working in Portugal: lack of planning, overly restrictive regulations, very limited market for experimenting with new materials and systems, and vanishing craftsmanship. Yet they are positive that these challenges contribute to architecture’s continued improvement. This guidebook is both a reference to the numerous built works in Portugal by Aires Mateus and an itinerary spanning 21 cities, from north to south.
