A elaboração de um projeto não se mede apenas pelos seus resultados finais, mas por todo o processo que o envolve, pelo que se convocam para este livro diversas facetas desse processo, desde a ida ao local, até à sessão pública que o encerrou, bem como trabalhos de alunos e textos de alguns dos seus intervenientes.
Na sua génese, o exercício propunha uma reflexão acerca do tema da memória, em contexto pós-catástrofe, na sequência dos incêndios que ocorreram em Portugal, em 17 de Junho de 2017 nos concelhos de Pedrogão Grande, Figueiró dos Vinhos e Castanheira de Pera e em 15 de Outubro, na Guarda, Fornos de Algodres, Seia, Oliveira do Hospital, Lousã e outros municípios da Beira Alta e Interior. O trabalho foi desenvolvido em parceria com a Câmara Municipal de Castanheira de Pera, um dos municípios mais afetados pela tragédia.

Behutsame Stadterneuerung-'careful urban renewal'-was established after a long conflict between the political and administrative systems in power and construction cooperatives, which had its decisive moment in 1975. The urbanism of the Modern Movement started to be abandoned and the building industry connected to the promotion of houses, often closely related to political parties, started to decay. The refurbishment and revival of a very specific neighbourhood with a significant plan in Berlin-Kreuzberg-called for measures to interweave and reorganise the old and the new, but also houses and industries. In this area, there was a proposal to create a better ecological quality that preserved the traditional atmosphere and sought ways to incorporate the political efforts to integrate foreign families. The 'careful urban renewal' programme was seen as a planning in close connection to the local situation to harmonise total and individual conditions. The conditions related to the urban space and the built should be connected to the social assumptions of daily life. This research is focused on the process developed in Kreuzberg and provides a general account of the difficulties that occurred in the framework of the 'careful urban renewal' programme. This big district of Berlin used to be a central area of the city but it became a peripheral area of West Berlin due to the political division of the city. The neighbourhood would become one of the areas appointed for IBA, whose role was to regenerate and revive the old substance of Kreuzberg and to rebuild the urban fabric, particularly building houses and social amenities.

The centre of the city was going to be preserved as a suitable place to live, renovated and revived. This was the fourth architecture exhibition in Berlin focused on contemporary problems from the perspective of architecture and urbanism. This research analyses and describes the spatial and temporal context of the International Bauausstellung Berlin. It presents the geographical, political and social background that made this exhibition possible and fundamental in West Berlin. It involves the understanding of the urban scope in which IBA´s activity develops: devoted to contemporary architectural and urban problems defined by History. Berlin has always been and still is an exceptional scene of the international architecture, a modern version of locus amoenus. But today it is necessary to discover this beauty among the traces of its destruction and the interventions carried out by an almost complete generation of architects to create the image of a city that was frantically seeking a promising reconstruction. Berlin offers itself to be the spatial framework for IBA. It is a place with a great number of pragmatic variations for the architectural study and the urban development. It is part of Berlin´s tradition to have considerably influenced the changes of urban planning through International Architecture Exhibitions. The idea behind IBA, its program and the results achieved must be seen as a cultural manifestation incorporated in a city that acted as the centre of theoretical controversy regarding the urban issues and the construction according to man and changes in society.

The City is Berlin, the "Internationale Bauausstellung" means international architecture exhibition (IBA); Alvaro Siza Vieira is the project architect located in the Kreuzberg neighbourhood. Berlin is a city built in parts, but also thought by parts. With the IBA still in the years of the Wall, Berlin has been a place of experimentation on the idea of European city. It was in this context that Alvaro Siza was called on several occasions; the first ones out from his Portuguese experience. Siza built in Berlin-Kreuzberg a building usually considered a tribute to the Modern Movement. In spite of his organic influences, there is in building a look for another strand of the city history of architecture: to the reflections of rationalist language. For Siza, Berlin has become an occasion to deepen a research on the relations applied to the rationalist language. The pre...

The way the architecture is placed in a particular location, as well as the way the location is changed by the presence of the architecture – the way it is redefined – are questions inherent in any architecture, particularly the Portuguese architecture, which has responded with special care in general terms. This document aims to investigate the pre-existence in architecture, to see it as a starting point and an essential tool that allows the creation of unique projects. The purpose is to obtain a more comprehensive and deeper understanding of the topic in question, in order to understand the processes that create buildings and cities through the ruins. Tavira is a Portuguese city in the district of Faro, region and subregion of Algarve, and one of Algarve’s cities that has a strong tradition regarding its built past. It is i...

It was the beginning of two twin systems: financial and political, the liberalism and the globalisation. During this decade, New York is the stage of the decaying show of organised crime, drugs and social and financial crisis. In 1977, in an attempt to save the city, the campaign “I ♥ NY” is launched. It emphasises the possibilities of New York´s urban and frenetic life. The city proclaims itself as the centre of the world, at least of the western world. As a consequence, driven by a blind patriotism, or even delirious, Manhattan´s architects took possession of the most obvious characteristics of the city´s architecture of the period before the Second World War. A new old city develops. According to Rem Koolhaas, it is an architecture made of money “shots”. In 1978, Koolhaas publishes his retroactive manifesto “Delirious New York”, where, in due course, he draws attention to the constant relation be...

It was the beginning of two twin systems: financial and political, the liberalism and the globalisation. During this decade, New York is the stage of the decaying show of organised crime, drugs and social and financial crisis. In 1977, in an attempt to save the city, the campaign "I ♥ NY" is launched.

As a consequence, driven by a blind patriotism, or even delirious, Manhattan´s architects took possession of the most obvious characteristics of the city´s architecture of the period before the Second World War. A new old city develops. According to Rem Koolhaas, it is an architecture made of money "shots". In 1978, Koolhaas publishes his retroactive manifesto "Delirious New York", where, in due course, he draws attention to the constant relation between the city and the new all over the centuries. In this manifesto, Koolhaas reveals his fascination with the modernity and urbanity. His work depicts Manhattan's evolution since its "Prehistory"-before the European's occupation-as an experience of modernity. An island that is a pioneer in the problems that affect the main capitals of the world today, but also a pioneer in the attempts of solving, or at least maintaining, the chaos that it contains. The aim of this written essay is to analyse and clarify how the fascination with the new technology, and the way this relates to what is banal-urban-delirium-represent aesthetic criteria in Koolhaas's work.

The way the architecture is placed in a particular location, as well as the way the location is changed by the presence of the architecture-the way it is redefined-are questions inherent in any architecture, particularly the Portuguese architecture, which has responded with special care in general terms. This document aims to investigate the pre-existence in architecture, to see it as a starting point and an essential tool that allows the creation of unique projects. The purpose is to obtain a more comprehensive and deeper understanding of the topic in question, in order to understand the processes that create buildings and cities through the ruins. Tavira is a Portuguese city in the district of Faro, region and subregion of Algarve, and one of Algarve's cities that has a strong tradition regarding its built past. It is in this context of a strong urban identity that Álvaro de Campos Municipal Library is implemented. The architectural proposal is born in the old prison of Tavira, built in the 20 th century and converted into a municipal library. Thus, we intend to study and investigate the potential of Álvaro de Campos Municipal Library and, based on its analysis, to substantiate the explanation of the project, its architectural strategies and solutions.

The adjectives that are usually used with it help to define its meaning and to extend the conceptual framework in which the word landscape is integrated. Therefore, we can talk about the interior landscapes, musical landscapes, artistic landscapes, poetical landscapes or human landscapes. Creating contextual architecture means incorporating into the project data, guidelines or relations imprinted in the territory or a place of the intervention. This amounts to link the architectural work with the structures which define the area where it will be located. The new intervention becomes another layer of the process of transformation and it can be consistent or collide with what already exists, in terms of the form. This document aims to fulfil the primary need of pointing with precision the conceptual framework in which what has been defined as the Landscape Architecture and Shapes is integrated. It is a discipline that studies the analysis and assessment of the material, environmental and formal conditions of the landscape, but always oriented towards the production of open spaces through the project and the implementation of the specific techniques. This article intends to offer a broad and systematic perspective of the different aspects involved in the Landscape Architecture, with the support of relevant examples of the culture of the landscape.
