Following the 1974 Carnation Revolution, the SAAL (Serviço de Apoio Ambulatório Local) initiative emerged as a radical experiment in social housing in Portugal. By integrating architects, engineers, and local residents into a collaborative design process, the program sought to replace substandard living conditions with community-led developments. This volume documents the architectural and political legacy of these projects, highlighting the unique participatory methods that defined this brief but transformative period.
