aimThe purpose of this study is to see whether and how contemporary young architects in the specific context of Portugal are responding to the issues of globalization and advancement of technology, yet being sensitive to their environment and the history of their country or region.This is a problem faced by us architects here in Goa ev-eryday. I intend to use this study to learn from relevant examples how the young generation of Portuguese architectshave dealt and are still dealing with this and I am sure this will help me in my future career.

I am aware of Alvaro Siza’s important influence on young Portuguese architects and of his life-long con-cern about issues of site and identity. This will also be an object of interest.

The project will involve a study of the buildings of the emerging architects of Portugal, involving visits to their offices, the study of their projects and works and through collection of available drawings & literature through all sources, my analysis of their work and, at the end:

•Submission of a report based on the study conducted •An exhibition to be held in Goa of photographs of mine of recent Portuguese architecture.

1.0

For me architecture is a global issue.One should not look as architecture as a mere problem solving operation but a means to relate and coexist in harmony between the built and the unbuilt.For me the site is the biggest clue that one can draw in terms of coming up with meaningful and rele-vant designs within the sensitive area

of intervention“Alvaro Siza Viera”

I will carry out a research of the works of the new emerging architects of Portugal based on various aspects of study1. Building typologiesHere I will research three categories of buildings 1. Residential2. Public building3. Office buildingTrying to understand the different ways in which these different programmes lead to different responses from the point of view of architectural identity.

2. Building materials and technologiesHere I will make a study on the use of different materials and the method of application in the buildings. In a time of rapid technological change and globalization of materials and building tech-nologies, I will be interested in seeing how tradi-tions are – or are not – respected.

3. Site, Location and local culture of buildings or projected buildingsHere I will ponder upon how relevant the building is to its site, and if any design clues can be drawn from the immediate surroundings and the cultures of its inhabitants and its influence on the archi-tects design.

4. Education (schooling) and culture of the architectsDoing a study on the educational background and schools from where these architects have studied and what might be an influence on their work of a particular architect or a style of architecture.

5. Response of architectural culture to the buildings or projectsHow the architectural community and press responded to buildings and projects might help to clarify how much the works belong to Portuguese cultures or how much they seem new

I will conduct investigations on the above aspects based on •Interviews with the architects, users, locals as well as fellow architects and critics.

•Literature review in libraries in Portugal at the Biblioteca da Faculdade de Arquitectura de Lisboa and Biblioteca da Ordem dos Arquitectos (Lis-boa) and other places of my study.

•Internet research

•Photographs, sketches, drawings of the buidings

6. The buildings / projects within recent Portu-guese architectural historyI will look at a few projects that have been built and have become icons in the last 10 years and try to relate them to the evolution of Portuguese architecture over the last 30 to 40 years (since the 1974 revolution and the joining of the European Union in the early 1980s).

7. Discussion of the way the buildings or proj-ects tackle the identity issue.Here I will research in the libraries of Portugal, as well as speak to fellow architects and critics to see how architects of this generation are dealing with the issue of identity.I.e. whether or not these buildings can be called distinctively Portuguese or not, or even if this issue makes any sense to contemporary architects and

critics.

Portugal, with a privileged geographical position on Europe’s West Coast, has an Atlantic vocation that has always left its mark on the country’s history and cul-ture.

The country’s proximity to the sea had a key influ-ence on the maritime discoveries of the 15th and 16th centuries in which Portugal played a pioneering role in connecting together the world’s continents - thus triggering the first wave of economic and social globali-sation. Today, Portugal is proud of the many influences that it has assimilated – visible in much of the country’s material and immaterial heritage - and also the influ-ence it has left on other countries and continents, in-cluding the fact that the Portuguese language is spoken by over 200 million people.

In a territory of only 92 000 Km², there is such a tremendous diversity of landscapes and cultural and historical riches that visitors are sure to find of a wide array of experiences close at hand - whether in the mountains or the sea, in cities or historic villages in the hinterland.

With such a long sea coast, it is not surprising that Portugal has witnessed so many sailings and arrivals. This is why we have been open to the world and to communication for so long. We have assimilated peo-ples of different origins: Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthag-inians, Romans (who left us our language), northern Europeans and peoples from Mauritania. In spite of all these mixtures, Portugal is one of the oldest nations in Europe. In the 12th century, the country gained its independence from the other kingdoms in the Iberian Peninsula thanks to Count Afonso Henriques, who was our first king at his own wish. A century later, with the conquest of the Algarve, Portugal was todefinitively establish its continental border.

architecture of PortugalArchitecture of Portugal refers to the architecture practised in the territory of present-day Portugal since before the foundation of the country, in the 12th century. The term may also refer to buildings created under Portuguese influence or by Portu-guese architects worldwide during the times of the Portuguese Empire.Portuguese architecture, like all aspects of Portu-guese culture, is marked by the history of the coun-try and the several peoples that have settled and influenced the current Portuguese territory. These include Romans, Germanic peoples, Arabs as well as the influence from the main European artistic centres, which introduced in the country standard architectonic styles like Romanesque, Gothic, Re-naissance, Baroque and Neoclassicism. Among the main manifestations of Portuguese architecture are the Manueline, the exuberant Portuguese version of late Gothic, and the Pombaline style, a mix of late Baroque and Neoclassicism that developed af-ter the Great Lisbon Earthquake of 1755.In the 20th century, Portuguese architecture has produced a number of renowned personalities like Fernando Távora, Tomás Taveira, Eduardo Souto de Moura and, especially, Álvaro Siza.

Early architecture

Anta (dolmen) in Cabeção, near Mora, intheAlejo.MegalithsThe earliest examples of architectural activity in Portugal date from the Neolithic and consist of structures associated with Megalith culture. The Portuguese hinterland is dotted with a large num-ber of dolmens (called antas or dólmens), tumuli (mamoas) and menhirs. The Alentejo region is par-ticularly rich in megalithic monuments, like the notable Anta Grande do Zambujeiro, located near Évora. Standing stones can be found isolated or forming circular arrays .Iron age house in Citânia de BriteirosThese sites were occupied in the period around the years 2500-1700 BC and were surrounded by stone walls and towers, a sign of the conflictivity of the time.

Starting around the 6th century BC, Northwest Portugal, as well as neighbouring Galicia in Spain, saw the development of the Castro culture (cultura castreja). This region was dotted with hillfort vil-lages (called citânias or cividades) that for the most part continued to exist under Roman domination, when the area became incorporated into the prov-ince of Gallaecia. Notable archaeological sites are the Citânia de Sanfins, near Paços de Ferreira, Cit-ânia de Briteiros, near Guimarães, and the Civi-dade de Terroso, near Póvoa do Varzim. For defen-sive reasons, these hillforts were built over elevated terrain and were surrounded by rings of stone walls (Terroso had three wall rings). Houses were round in shape with walls made of stone without mortar, while the roofs were made of grass shoots. Baths were built in some of them, like in Briteiros and Sanfins.

The various periods in portuguese architec-ture can be classified as under:

• Roman period• Pre-Romanesque• Moorish period• Romanesque style (1100-c. 1230)• Gothic (c. 1200 - c.1450)• Manueline style (c.1490 - c.1520)• Renaissance and Mannerism (c.1520 - c.1650)• Restoration architecture (1640-1717)• Baroque style (1717-1755)• Pombaline style (1755-1860)• Modern Architecture

Portuguese Architecture in the 20th century pro-duced somevery interesting buildings and achieve-ments, namely in whatregards its chronological diversity, its spatial and formaloriginality in the European context, its geographicalspreadness (in the Portuguese colonial areas of the time,namely the Atlantic islands, African Guinea, Angola andMozambique, India, Macao and Timor).Diversity is also the word for the aspects regarding functionaltypologies (with a large number of con-trasting examples), andregarding style and technol-ogy used in the more significantbuildings. Also the urbanization aspects, with the creation of new cit-ies, in European Portugal as in Angola anMozambique, was another theme that Portuguese materialproduction developed, mainly in the period of the 1910-1970decades.

Being a periphery country, regarding the Central Europe maincultural diffusion regions, Portuguese architecture evolvedthrough a series of imported artistic movements, which havealong the centuries generated original responses through aprocess that reveals and emphasizes the integrator andtradition-alist aspects of the existing national context.That explains the capacity of fusing the Gothic into Manueline,the Classical and Mannerist themes into the Plain Style, theBaroque into the more simple and standardized Pombaline,and finnaly ex-plains the poetic interpretation of modernarchitecture made in Oporto school and later on in Lisbon,during the late 20th century. Being - in a creative contradiction -as conservative as open-minded to experimentatioandadaptation, Portu-guese architecture managed to transform the foreign models, in a way that they were soon recognizedand rethought with originality and such power that theiradaptation created very special scales, spaces and forms.

In a long-term view of Portuguese architecture, it will be boththe simplicity of forms and the struc-tural clarity that canbest describe it. In this context, the facade assumed a vitalimportance as an “introduction” to the building(asif thesurface wished to become three-dimensional space andstructure). This aspect connects with Lus-itanian tendencyto conceive everything on surfaces, thus somehow disdainingthe importance of vol-umes and its light-dark play.

On the other hand, international cultural move-ments inarchitecture which were somehow innova-tive, had somedifficulty in gaining acceptance: for example, Art Nouveau wasmainly understood as a decorative and fashion formal “thing”,and its Portuguese interpretation, the Arte Nova,exhibitedsome spectacular facades as the “Animatógrapho doRossio” (in Lisbon, from 1908), but without any interestingspace interiors.

•SOUTO MOURA, EduardoBorn in 1952, Souto de Moura is the “baby”, but was taught by Tavora and worked with Siza before establishing his own practice. His oeu-vre encompasses an eclectic mix of projects, including terraced houses, museums, apartments, faculty buildings, stage sets and sports stadia.Perhaps his most celebrat-ed project is the detached house at Travessa do Souto, Caminha (1991–98), which reshapes the terraced land-scape to allow the house to nestle into a granite outcrop.

The Boa Nova Tea House was designed following a competi-tion held in 1956 by the city council and won by Portuguese architect Fernando Tavora. After choosing a site on the cliffs of the Matosinhos seashore, Tavora turned the project over to his collaborator, Alvaro Siza. One of Siza’s first built projects, it is significant that the restaurant is not far from the town of Matosinhos where the architect grew up, and set in a landscape that he was intimately famil-iar with. It was still pos-sible in Portugal of the 1960s to make architec-ture by working in close contact with the site, and this work, much like the Leça Swimming Pools of 1966, is about ‘building the landscape’ of this marginal zone on the Atlantic - through a careful analysis of the weather and tides, exist-ing plant life and rock formations, and the re-lationship to the avenue and city behind.

Rehabilitación Para Pousada del Mon-asterio cisterciense de Santa María do Bouro/Conversion of Santa Maria do Bouro Monastery into a state innBouroAmares, Braga, Portugal1989/1997ESM/01

h/Braga Municipal Stadium

Eduardo Souto Moura

Monte castro, Braga, Portugal, 2000/2003ESM/02

Situated in Amares, near the historic city of Braga and the Gerês mountain range, the Pousada de Amares is intriguingly housed in a 12th century Cistercian monastery. In keeping with the Cistercians’ tradition of settling on the most rugged fringes of the European conti-nent, the monastery is rough and almost sur-realistically plain. In the process of converting it into a hotel, one of Por-tugal’s most esteemed architects, Eduardo Souto Moura, sought to ‘find the lucidity that exists between form and function’. For him, the ruins were more im-portant than the actual monastery since they represented material that could be manipu-lated to more challeng-ing effect, just as the building itself had been throughout the course of history. Many of the rough stone columns and arches of the old structure are preserved, but that which had dis-appeared over time was not simply reconstruct-ed in imitation.

“The Braga Municipal Stadium is inside the Dume Sports Park on the northern slope of Monte Castro. The site was chosen in order to avoid the creation of a ‘dam’ for the natural line of watering the valley. The alternative would have been to move it further to the west up against the hill, like a Roman amphitheatre... Initially the roof was to look like a long con-tinuous visor (ref. Siza/Expo)*, but it was even-tually modeled on the Peruvian Inca bridges. With a height of 40 me-tres, the stadium will be set against two squares with the same sloping. This will enable the sta-dium building to serve as an anchoring point for any future develop-ment in the areas as the city expands northward.

This office complex is located in the Avenida da Boavista, the biggest straight line avenue in Portu-gal that extends from “Casa da Música” till the Sea in West. This complex opens a large square between the two buildings, one horizontal and the other vertical. The square is occupied by a big sculpture by the Porto architect/sculptor Nadir de Afonso. The buildings were drawn with very simple shapes, following the influences of Mies and the Chicago buildings. The main interest about the building is its façade. Its skin is composed out of a single mod-ule that wraps all the volumes. That module was studied so it could fit on 2 different ways creating a glass façade and an opaque façade.

The building is located in the gardens of a neo-classical mansion in Porto, dating from the beginning of the 20th century. The program for the competition proposed a cinema, an auditorium and an exhi-bition gallery, as well as the conservation of the gardens as they were. This is one of the first built projects of Eduardo Souto Moura. It’s main-ly composed of two par-allel granite stone walls, with all the programin the middle. With a very minimalistic approach, this building is com-posed of great building details, reminding some of Mies Van der Rohe’s characteristics.

Casa no Romeirão, /House at Romeirao

ARX PORTUGALNuno e Jose Mateus

Romeirão,Portugal2005ARX/01

The site has a strong ru-ral character, with small plantations, orchards and pathways limited by roughly made stone property walls and, once in a while, houses, scat-tered in the landscape.It is a steep slope fac-ing south over the val-ley, furrowed by a small river and a mountain in the background. While the upper half of the site is ramped, the lower is built in steps. In the transition between both two clear references be-came the starting point for the project: a wal-nut tree and a watering tank.The site’s natural beauty dictated the project. The house develops in an intimate relation with the ground, penetrating it as the slope increases and eventually becom-ing part of the moun-tain where one can walk; then it is displaced while descending, reap-pearingon the slope.

This house is located in Sagres (Algarve), the furthest southwest loca-tion in Portugal.This town hosted the Navigation School be-hind the “Portuguese Discoveries”, established in the 15th century by the infant D. Henrique.Five centuries have gone by and nowadays these waters are famous for windsurfing.Land is being split in generic parcels of typi-cal resorts, claiming for a superficial architectur-al idea of a “portuguese house”, to please and sell to foreign tourists. The house was devel-oped along the precise regulations, defined in the urbanistic project, from distances to bor-ders, access and total amount of construction area and volume.

Centro de Sangue, /OPorto Blood Bank

ARX PORTUGALNuno e Jose Mateus

OPorto,Portugal2005ARX/03 The Oporto Blood Bank

is built to support all ac-tivities of regional blood collection and analysis as well as its partition in 3 components (erythro-cytes, plasma and plate-lets). These components are later to be distrib-uted to hospitals and pharmaceutical indus-tries.This typology is new and hardly tested. It has a great complexity due to permanent risk of blood contamination. Continuous scientific and technological de-velopments force per-manent alterations. It is therefore a building with an unstable inte-rior, wich will undergo frequent metamorpho-sis throughout its life.The building program is a linear sequential process (of blood dis-assembly). It suggests to be more adequate a low and fluid construc-tion rather than a high building, as pointed out by the neighboring housing buildings (5 and 6 levels).

An ancient winery is rehabilitated. Its main attri-butes are a wide space and thick walls. Though in-troducing a new program, the universal character of the space remains. Together with the existing wall, a new thick wall houses all of the social functions on the main level. Stairs within the thick wall and day lit from above make the light transition from social to private space. The more private areas – bedrooms, bathrooms and a studio– are conceived as habitable volumes in an “impossible” balance, structuring the space. The volumes, articulated by light, modulate the main space of the lower living room, emphasizing its breadth.

The program includes four houses and a water tank. The wa-ter tank will be a square of whitewashed plaster where a pool is found and a line draws the shower. The placement of the several houses will be decided by each owner. The first house is a square. The living room is disposed around a courtyard that provides indirect lighting. Secondary compartments in-habit the interior of thick walls that form the central living room. These areas, compressed by a lifted ground and a low-ered ceiling, become spaces which group to limit and define the “exterior volume,” emphasizing it as the main space of the house.

Between land and sea, along a strip of land in constant change with he passing of the years, human intervention has gradually settled into the most varied types of inhabitation. From the seventeenth century until now the superim-posing of different in-tentions for this spot, the material and tech-nological resources of the moment and avail-ability of the inherited patrimony have all con-tributed to a succession of adaptations and ad-ditions. Notwithstand-ing this, the complex encompasses architec-tural units whose read-ing is unequivocal, units laid out according to still-clear organisational principals.

The state of adultera-tion and decadence of one part of the complex is the result of a process of natural selection that the project design tries to turn to its favour. Identifying the ele-ments of greater perdu-rability or greater poetic charge, the proposal re-constructs with, and out of, these a basic order that both encompasses the memory of passing time and makes a new use visible.
