A pioneering experiment in Europe, it set up technical teams led by architects who, in collaboration with the local population, tried to address the urgent housing needs of communities across the nation. The teams were reinventing architectural practice, from surveying living conditions to monitoring land expropriation, designing projects with the residents directly. This volume includes new essays along with historic texts, an interview with some of the major figures involved, and extensive project documentation. An exhibition by the Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Serralves, The SAAL Process was presented at the CCA in Spring 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelfim Sardo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerralves, 2014\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e29.5 X  21 cm, 300 pages\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canadian Centre for Architecture","offers":[{"title":"English - Softcover","offer_id":52048418505002,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/7112\/7633\/files\/saal-process.jpg?v=1783440028","url":"https:\/\/cca-bookstore.com\/products\/the-saal-process-architecture-and-participation-1974-1976","provider":"Canadian Centre for Architecture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
