House on Madeira Island
color sample book

The book was born out of an art project Miguel undertook on Madeira Island between July 17 and October 17, 2015. The project itself was to reproduce and catalog the colors used on the facades of the houses on Madeira Island on the spot. Miguel and his partner, Laura, walked from one end to the other with paints.

The project was highly praised by the locals as a fieldwork with an anthropological aspect that looked at the contemporary landscape, and at the same time, the discussion of painting and the current landscape strongly impressed the residents with the connection between the environment and architecture in depopulated areas.

Although the purpose of the project was to collect color samples, in the process, it seems to have resulted in statistics on everything from the characteristics of local architecture and housing to the actual conditions of abandoned buildings.
