About Discussions Projects5 Journals25

Porto's architectural heritage includes distinctive tile work that contemporary designers continue to reference and reinterpret. Local tiles represent both a historical craft tradition and a material language that connects buildings to their regional context.

The community explores how architects and designers working in Porto integrate traditional tilework into modern projects, from residential renovations and hospitality spaces to public institutions and market buildings. Projects range from preserving historic tile installations to creating new work that responds to local material vocabularies.
