Symbolism, architecture, and a more just city: the Gouveia Palace of Justice

Subscriber Access

No País dos Arquitectos is a podcast created by Sara Nunes, who also runs the architectural film production company Building Pictures. The project aims to introduce the professionals, projects, and stories behind leading contemporary Portuguese architecture. With just over 10 million inhabitants, Portugal is a highly intriguing country in this professional field, with an architectural output that punches far above its weight in relation to its population or territorial scale.

In this episode, Sara talks with architect Pedro Guimarães, from the office Barbosa & Guimarães Arquitectos, about the design of the Gouveia Courthouse (Palácio da Justiça de Gouveia). Listen to the full interview and read an excerpt of the transcript below:
