The house was undergoing a spiritual and physical reformation ordered by John III, with the Hieronymite Friar Brás de Braga in charge. Jean de Rouen, sculptor, or “imagineer”, was commissioned with some ornamental architectural pieces, such as arches and doorways, where he applied the new language of the Renaissance – as, for example, the arch of the high choir of the church, framed by a classic
composition of pilasters, entablature and a pair of tondi. Simultaneously, he also became responsible for those space-containing architectural structures such as a small chapel amongst the Silence cloister, or the Manga cloister fountain tempietto. In this paper we aim to analyse Jean de Rouen’s work at Santa Cruz, during the first phase of his Portuguese career, and the growing scope of his artistic activity from the scale of sculpture to that of architecture.

will try to briefly characterize the university town where
he lived for the last and most productive period of his life;
and also the physical context of the College of Jesus (where
he supposedly slept and worked) and the College of Arts,
both of which were under construction. We will conclude
that Suárez, during his stay in Coimbra, would have lived
and worked amongst a large and rather hectic building site.

The College of Jesus, founded on 2nd July 1542 as an educational community of fathers and brother... more The College of Jesus, founded on 2nd July 1542 as an educational community of fathers and brothers, established in a couple of houses of uptown Coimbra, was, according to Francisco Rodrigues, “the first college of the Society of Jesus” – apparently in the whole world. Its construction, as a new physical structure, took place from 14th April 1547, when the first stone was laid of the vast building that remains today. Two decades later, in 1568, the parallel construction of the College of Arts began, where the classes of the homonymous Faculty, controlled by the Jesuits, would take place.
In this essay we propose to reconstitute the constructive evolution of the Jesuit complex of Coimbra, along six prominent stages of its architectural history, until the suppression of the Jesuits from the Kingdom of Portugal in 1759. Each of the six phases will correspond to an interpretative schematic drawing, carried out from the analysis of the existing documentation for each period.

To that effect, we submitted a paper for the conference cycle «The University of Coimbra on the way to Contemporaneity», for the 19th Cultural Week of the University of Coimbra (dedicated to the theme «Who are we?»), which took place at Casa das Caldeiras in Coimbra, on 27 April, 2017.
The following year, we coordinated an exhibition of drawings of the Pombaline Reformation at the Machado de Castro National Museum (with Virginia Gomes, from October 2018 to February 2019). In this occasion, we were able to chronologically lay out a large collection of graphic pieces, a sequence which validated and reinforced our previous understanding of the facts. In this article (which is largely the result of the 2017 paper), we have resumed this creation of a chronological basis for dating some key designs that were made in the short span of just over a year, between late 1772 and early 1774. This sequence shows how the architecture of the Pombaline Reformation increased in scale and urban impact during this period, particularly in the designs of scientific institutions such as the Astronomical Observatory and the Chemical Laboratory. This increase was due, in part, to the natural development of the proposals, but also, and to a large extent, to Elsden’s competent performance and to the growing enthusiasm of the Marquis de Pombal towards the new designs.

Both dimensions have intricate connections with hardware and software improvements related with the so called``4th Industrial Revolution''.Virtual Reality (VR), an interactive experience generated by a computer, takes place inside of simulated environments, which can be analogous to the real world or which can be created as imaginary contexts. On the other hand, Augmented Reality (AR) is always based in an interactive experience inside a tangible environment where the elements of that reality are nurtured with digital information, across several senses, to empathize certain aspects of reality. Our research combines both VR and AR to empathize sensory and intellectual experience. To do so, several senses, mainly visual and auditory, are stimulated.We therefore explore two Case-Studies from our research project in order to show two different strategies. The intention of both situations is to create immersive mixed reality environments where the fusion of the digital and analogue elements can be persistently sustained by the visual outputs.

These two emergent development fields gave birth to what was recently coined as Mixed Reality and the environments created can be analogous to the real world or they can be based in imaginary environments. We have two basic aims for this initial research: first to create the tools to provide knowledge and wisdom (knowledge with emotions) around lost heritage. The second aim, profoundly related with the first one, is to create a methodology and software capable to surpass a Turing-type Test for Virtual and Augmented Reality, where the observer could be immersed in an environment where virtual outputs and feedback can be greater or, at least, similar to the real world.

It is organized as a two floor square building, arranged around a central patio with arches and galleries. The chapel is taller than the rest of the building and is placed perpendicularly to the college’s rear wing, in front of the college entrance. Spanish colleges, however, did not follow this disposition. In fact, they developed a specific typology with the high chapel integrated in the front wing, to the right of the college entrance, as was the case with the colleges of San Bartolomé at Salamanca (1413-1418) and Santa Cruz of Valladolid (1486-1491).
