‘HOUSING’ Symposium Guimarães 2025 emerged from a concern about this theme that will always be central to architecture. To discuss, think about and reflect on ‘Housing’ is to talk about identity, belonging and the dynamics that shape society, culture and the way we live.

Cities and societies are in a permanent process of change, which stimulates new ways of thinking about housing, guaranteeing adequate responses to the needs of each era, in a constant dialogue between ‘past and future contemporaneity’, which requires a continuous, in-depth and cyclical debate.
