In October 2011 Basilico spent a Sunday morning walking through Matosinhos with the architect Álvaro Siza, not far from the house on Rua Brito Capelo where Siza had lived for many years and where his sister Tereza still lives. The book gathers the photographs and drawings the two men made together on that walk, an exchange between a photographer's eye and an architect's hand looking at the same streets. Its cover unfolds into a two-sided poster, and the book includes texts by both artists alongside contributions from Tereza Siza and a critic.
