Abstract
This photographic project focuses on three urban markets in Portugal, each undergoing different phases of renewal: Mercado de Arroios in Lisbon, Mercado do Bolhão in Porto, and Mercado dos Lavradores in Funchal. The aim was to document and catalogue the distinctive features and underlying character of these places while they were being subjected to significant alterations and changes. Extensive photographic investigations were conducted at the sites during a three-year period, involving numerous reconnaissance photo-walks. The work was inspired by Gordon Cullen’s investigative photographic explorations in towns and cities, which he collated in his seminal text Townscape (1961). This material provided a framework to navigate the complex interplay of forms, features and experiences that I encountered within each market.
