Resumo (PT): The Vacation House in Galápos (1960), in Portugal, by Eduardo Anahory (1917-1985), belongs to a small set of wooden buildings that are essential to understand and contextualize within the history of Architecture of a country typically viewed as lacking wooden architecture. Although Anahory’s research is a short episode in the national scene, it nonetheless embodies a singular set in which, as Ramos (2010) described, the architectonic solution, the program, and the constructive technology all mix in an unusual way. The uniqueness of the location associated with the two key concepts of the Modern Movement, open form* and free plan*, produced a versatile work that illustrates how wood can be a multipurpose and easy to manipulate material while allowing for structural and layout flexibility.
