Circo de Ideias is a publishing house, bookstore and architecture gallery. Located in the Bouça district, Circo de Ideias was founded in 2008 as a non-profit cultural association, with the aim of promoting the dissemination and study of architecture. The passion for books, for publishing, for curating, for architectural publications in particular, led the two architects, owners of this space, to edit books where there is a deliberate confrontation between the text, the image and the object. Their books are thought and edited by themselves to the limit, in a curatorial work whose result is the book itself. They have already edited books based on the work of Rem Koolhaas and Siza Vieira, for example.

Preenche Vazios (‘filling voids’) is a tiling workshop where the client can order custom panels, with patterns and phrases to his/her liking, as well as merchandising. It was born with the intention of filling the empty spaces on the façades of houses and buildings in the cities. The project intends to draw attention to the small details that surround us daily, and surprise passers-by with something they were not used to seeing during their journey, assigning small messages from Portuguese poets. Much more than an artistic intervention, the project intends to draw attention to the need to preserve the Portuguese tile heritage which has suffered a progressive loss of tiles in recent years.
In this shop, the main vocation is to disclose the work of small creators, essentially Portuguese. Their mentors, a couple who loves to “build dreams”, have tried to pull into this space those who, like them, share the same vision. The project is inserted in a multifunctional space of interaction between that which the creators like and the taste of other people who, like them, appreciate “quality, design, simplicity, creativity”. Besides its brands, 100% Portugal and Mum Who Loves to Sew, you can find other authors who are environmentally conscious and make handmade pieces. There is a great bet on illustration, but also on ceramics, author costume jewellery, and decoration, among others.
Moreira da Costa bookstore was founded in 1902 and is one of the oldest literary bookstores in the country. It is currently owned by a founder’s grandchild and has a collection of old and rare books. It is a historic Porto shop, having received important literary gatherings in the first half of the 20th century. It has an archive of books since the seventeenth century with great emphasis on French books in the area of theology and architecture, among others, featuring a representative collection of the writer Camilo Castelo Branco. Its semicircular interior architecture gives it a unique look while remaining true to the original design.
