The Tours & More
Pires & Brito Tour
Buildings from Architect Manuel Gomes da Costa (1921-2016) designed for Pires & Brito at Faro (Algarve).
MOMO in Faro
MOMO stands for Modernist Movement. As a candidate for the Portuguese Capital of Culture 2027, Faro wanted to present itself as the city of Modernist Architecture in Southern Europe. Faro has about 500 buildings with a unique modernist style that are highly adapted to the climate of the Algarve.
Unfortunately Faro was not "one of the last nominated candidates", but the result was a nice brochure with an overview of the influences of the Modern Movement in Faro from around 1925.
