This book discusses 35 projects from the oeuvre of architect Manuel Gomes da Costa. These projects are all marked on a walking map at the back of the book. Additionally, other, undescribed projects in the surrounding area are shown on a map with photos.

The book further discusses Manuel Gomes da Costa, his sources of inspiration and examples, and his fellow architects - António Vicente de Castro and Manuel Laginha - who together introduced Modernist Architecture to the Algarve.

It also includes an explanation of the characteristics of his style and how to recognize his buildings. Attention is paid to the post-war development of Faro, and three special projects outside Faro are discussed and explained in detail.

Finally, the publication focuses on the work of the young, talented architect Philipe Paixão and his projects in Faro and more about architecture & Faro
