Wear comfortable shoes and bring water.Faro Island is not what most people expect.Behind the beach bars and holiday apartments lies a quiet architectural story — one of modernist ambition, coastal adaptation, and a design language that stretches from the Bauhaus workshops of 1919 to the sun-bleached facades of this small Atlantic island.Join artist and architectural tour leader Richard Walker for a 90-minute walk through one of the Algarve's most unexpected modernist landscapes. Drawing on his experience leading tours for the 20th Century Society in England and his years as a part-time Faro Island resident, Walker brings an artist's eye and a scholar's rigour to a coastline most visitors never look at twice.The tour takes its title from Tom Wolfe's 1981 critique of modernist architecture — From Bauhaus to Our House — and explores how the ideals of the Bauhaus school, the Case Study Houses project, and the innovations of mid-century architects like Richard Neutra found their way to this stretch of the Portuguese coast.Along the way, you will discover:The beach houses of Faro Island — ranging from updated vernacular forms to structures that would not look out of place in Palm Springs, Cape Cod or the Florida Keys, all shaped by the modernist principles of functionality, simplicity, and the primacy of light and space.Cubist themes with Moorish influences — flat roofs, whitewashed volumes and the occasional minaret, where Atlantic modernism meets the memory of the south.The Aeromar Hotel — built in the 1970s and still carrying much of its original design DNA, a rare survivor of the modernist beach architecture that once defined this coastline.The work of Manuel Gomes da Costa — the Algarve's most celebrated modernist architect, whose influence extends even here, to the island's edge.With special guest Chris de Oliveira, co-founder of The Modernist Faro and The Modernist Weekend — the walk becomes a conversation between two people who have spent years looking at these buildings and asking why they matter.Friday 6 November · 13h30 · Meeting point : Ave Nascente 13, Faro Island · Duration : 1h30 · 20€Getting thereBy car or taxi — approximately 10 minutes from Faro city centre via the causeway.

They fell in love with Faro, a city in the Algarve, and decided to promote its Modernist architecture.In 2021, they opened The Modernist hotel in Faro (www.themodernist.pt). Everything in the hotel, from design to production, is proudly Portuguese and mostly sourced from the Algarve, just 100 kilometers away. This unique concept quickly became famous for Architecture Travel in Europe, getting featured in Forbes, Monocle, National Geographic, Elle Decor.They created a Modernist architecture tour book of Faro to teach people about the Algarve's architecture. Now, they're planning the second Modernist Weekend, a three-day event celebrating Modernist architecture through art, tours, open houses, and networking." } ] } ] ```
