8 [History]

Looking back through Portuguesehistory one can see that life hasnot been easy for this small country

of only 10 million inhabitants, andyet they have much to be proud of.It was colonised by the Romans,overrun by the Goths and Visigoths,and then dominated by the Moorishinvasions, and you may be inclined tobelieve life became less hectic oncethe Moors had been driven out in thelate 12th century - not so. Constantwranglings with the Spanish courtsover supreme rule of the whole

Iberian peninsula were to continuefor centuries, with continual invasionsby the Castilians. The Golden Era

of the 15th and 16th centuries sawPortugal as world explorers and atone point Spain and Portugal dividedthe known world between them. The19th was an expansionist period,when the Empire took over African

colonies such as Angola, Mozambique,and Cape Verde.

The culture of Portugal is rootedin the Latinculture of AncientRome with a Celtiberian background.

A country with a long and richhistory was inuenced by variouscivilizationes that have crossed theMediterranean sea and the Europeancontinent. Portugal played an activerole during the Age of Discovery.

The Portuguese participate in manycultural activities. Many towns have amuseum, many places have at leasta cinema, some venues to listen to

music and locations to see arts andcrafts. The importance of the arts,specially in main cities, is enormous.

In 2001, Porto was European Capitalof Culture, in 2004 Portugal hostedthe European football nals.

In smaller towns, cultural activity mayrevolve around local folklore, with

musical groups -Ranchos Folclricos- performing traditional dance andsongs. Local festivities are verypopular during the summer seasonas well as beach holidays. Thereare still some bullrings in Portugal,although the passion for bullghting

is not as widespread as in Spain.

Pessoa, Fernando, 18881935,Portuguese poet; his poetry movesfrom saudosismo, or nostalgia for amythic past, to an increasing concernwith consciousness and sensation. Heis famous for inventing heteronyms,a literary concept that refers toimaginary characters created by apoet to write in different style. He had73 different hetornyms. Four of these(his own, Alberto Caeiro, RicardoReis, and lvaro de Campos) arewell known. Each of these personashas its own biography, physical

characteristics, relationship to theothers, poetic voice, and outlook, andin part re ects Pessoas disbelief in

the idea of an integrated personality.

Portuguese musical traditions arediverse and dynamic, they reectmultifarious historical, cultural, andpolitical processes with inuences

from non-European cultures fromboth North and sub-Saharan Africaand Brazil.

Polyphonic music, employingmultiple vocal parts in harmony, wasdeveloped in the 15th century. TheRenaissance fostered a rich output ofcompositions for solo instruments andensembles as well as for the voice.

The 1960s started a period ofexpansion and innovation withpop, rock and jazz introduced and

For me architecture is a global issue.There is no ecological architecture,no intelligent architecture, no fascist

architecture, no sustainable architecture there is only good and bad architecture.There are always problems we must notneglect; for example energy, resources,

costs, social aspects one must always

pay attention to all these!

Manuel and Francisco

Aires de Mateus

Most of their projects reminiscentof archtypal shapes, an overallshape inside which there are

smaller parts. However, this is not

a general principle of their works,

but the result of a long process of

comprehending people and their way

of life. As Alvaro Siza they think that

through the history of mankind, our

way of life hasnt changed much.

That is why they try to avoid goingalong the flow that tries to find out

new ways of designing. They try to

work independently of time. In many

cases they work with two kinds of

surfaces, old and new, as they often

build houses on old ruins. They

envolve ruins in their projects, they

become central and interesting. Two

different structures are connected

into one and its relation to the

possibility of performance in time is

gained. They try to create complex

limits between inside and outside.

They design fluid spaces with gradual

transition from open, through

half-closed into closed spaces. To

form the primary space they use

secondary ones. With them they

emphasize thickness and depth as

two major characteristics of primaryspace. Without using a repertoire of

tradicional architecture, their houses

are more solid than the traditional


39/122

39ones. With consideration of hierarchy

in the project, they determine priority

goals for architecture. They try to

emphasize this idea with the use of

space or structure.

Studio Aires Mateus was setup by brothers Manuel andFrancisco Aires de Mateus. They both

graduated from the Universidade

Tcnica de Lisbon. They lectureon several faculties: Harvard

University, Academia di Architettura

in Mendrizio, Lisbon Universidade

Lusada, Universidade Autnoma.

They have participated in numerous

exhibitions, conferences and seminarsin Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Slovenia,

Spain, the USA, Italy, Japan, Mexico,

Norway, Portugal and Switzerland.

I want to know what I can isolate from

my own life and experiences through

architecture.

I work on a project as long as its

possible, and when its not, I stop.

Architecture has already been pushed

to the limit. Its not possble to go further

than Mies, so were blocked and we have

to go in the other direction.

For me the quality of architecture is very

connected to the idea of being true.

houses of the XVIII century. Insteadof a stone structure, here thestructure is in steel but is completelyvisible and separated from the otherelements. But at the same time thereare traditional materials that were

used on the faades, transposing themodern architecture into a more siterelated project.

the lateral faades also reveal. The

main faade of the church is heavilydecorated with baroque motifs (suchas garlands and shells). This showsinuence from the Roman Baroque.

The monumental tower of the church,located at the back of the building,was only built between 1754 and1763. With its baroque decorationand hight of 75.6 meters, it hasbecame the symbol of the city.

the buildings are major branches ofthe main banks or hotels.At the top of the avenue stands theTown Hall, a palatial building with atall bell tower (70m high). Made ofgranite and marble, its design was

inuenced by municipal architectureof Flanders and France.In front of the building is amodernist statue of Portuguese

Caf do Cais sits on the rightbank of the Douro River in theRibeira district of Oporto. It aims tocontinue the logic of those provisional

elements Kiosks on the street sideand boats anchored in the quays.The notion of precariousness isaccentuated by the way the pavilionsits on the pavement a raised pre-fabricated platform of 40x10 not only

limits but levels the intervention withthe pavilion also gently oating on

it. As a counterpoint to its strongenviromental historical weight, the

building allows for both omission andabsence.Calm bar is one of the threemodules that were built parallel to

the Douro riverbank. The guidingidea for these structures is to rely ontwo containers with clear functions,linked by a exible and adjustable

membrane. Each volume has its ownconstructional logic: one deals with

an 18 m clear span open on its sides,the other, thinner and much moreenclosed, is treated like the interiorof a roulette, a sailing boat,... andconsists of a sandwich panel systemthat wraps the structure. The

actual idea of mobility is one of theconceptual premises of the project.

The new Museum of Contemporary

Art is in the Quinta de Serralves,

a property comprising a large house

surrounded by gardens, woods and

meadows, commissioned in the 1930sto serve as a private residence and

later used as an exhibition space.A

roughly north-south longitudinal

axis serves as the framework for

the project. Two asymmetrical wings

branch off to the south from themain body of the museum, creating

a courtyard between them, while

another courtyard is formed at the

public entrance atrium. The volume

of the main building is divided

between exhibition spaces, officesand storage, an art library and a

restaurant with adjoining terrace.

The auditorium and bookstore have

independent entrances and may be

used when the museum itself is closed.

The exhibition area is composed ofseveral rooms, connected by a large

U-shaped gallery - it occupies most

of the entrance level, extending to

the lower floor in one of the wings.

The large doors that separate the

different exhibition spaces andpartition walls can be used to create

different routes or organize separate

At the beginning of the 1980s,Souto de Moura was in chargeof designing and building the citymarket of Braga. The concept

serving an basis for the design isthat of creating a covered street,a fragment of the town capable ofadding its own contribution to thewhole urban weave. Over the courseof the years, the surroundings

have been greatly altered due touncontrolled speculation and theappearance of features without theleast relation to the commercial

type, like discotheques or schools.Consequently, the local authoritiestook the decision of dismantling

the market. It was Souto de Mourawho was given the job of convertingthe space into a cultural center thatwould slot different functions of theneighbourhood. The restructingincluded recuperating the original

idea of the street as the elementthat would relate different buildingsand public spaces. The existingcovering material was removed andthe passageways that had previouslylinked the stands now form part of

the open-air aisles. These go in andout of a park and join the spaceswhere the new cultural activities areforeseen.

One tribune has been literally insertedand placed against the hill, while the othertribune stands free along the mountains
