In the Portuguese-Brazilian context, the film portrays, through different voices, the multifaceted path of Portas, whose legacy contributes to the enhancement and dissemination of knowledge in Architecture and Urbanism for future generations.<\/span><\/p>\n Declaration of directors<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Given the importance of Nuno Portas’ contributions to thinking and designing the contemporary city in a sociocultural dimension, the film \u201cA Cidade de Portas\u201d was made with the purpose of documenting and making public, for future generations, the cosmopolitan look of this architect and urban planner Portuguese, whose reflections and works carried out allow for an in-depth analysis of urban space in the global sphere.<\/span><\/p>\n Watch the trailer<\/span>:<\/p>\n
