LB 20 VIANA DE LIMA casa das marinhas

LB 20 VIANA DE LIMA CASA DAS MARINHAS is the twenty-fifth title from the LONG BOOKS collection. The Casa das Marinhas (1954-57) corresponds to what Viana de Lima would designate as “the manor of modern times.”  What does this house communicate to us, what does its iconicity evoke? Is it the image of the traditional mill that portrays the construction, or is it the legacy of the retreat dwelling? Or is it the contemporary fusion of this heritage in the current museum house?
