This edition of the series presents the Casa das Marinhas (1954–1957), which corresponds to what architect Alfredo Viana de Lima would designate as “the manor of modern times”. What does this house communicate to us, and what does its iconicity evoke? Once a private dwelling, the building is transformed into a museum. From this perspective, the house transitions into the public domain as a sign of plurality disguised as heritage to save it from collapse. This new role brings together a set of indivisible principles that cannot be isolated, because they belong to a unified whole. Today this new perspective reconfigures the architect’s sense, subordinating the unified achievements.
