Full textThe circus is an art in constant transformation. It is the symbol of new beginnings. The emergence of a new art form, les arts de la piste, since the 1960s, illustrates perfectly the stylistic flexibility of a highly disciplined form of artistic expression. This paper presents a sociological history of the circus, including the historical evolution of this popular art form and a comparative study of the different forms of representation, to provide an understanding of the different types and variations of circus performances according to the social and economic strategies involved. In all of its forms, the circus pushes the artist to perform exploits, challenging physical limits and flirting with danger. The circus is built around the exhibition of risk taking and danger, a sentiment that is concentrated and channeled into the circus ring in a sacrificial ceremony that dominates danger and pushes back the limits of uncertainty. Circus arts are the catalyst behind the staging of disciplines that are as rich in their sense of equilibrium as imbalance. A spectacle that hinges on the metaphysics of silence, the circus celebrates the primal animalism of wild beasts as well as the suspended flight of trapeze artists, all within the highly symbolic architecture of the circus ring : the circle

Resumo: Este Projeto de Mestrado, sob a orientação da Professora Doutora Lygia Arcuri Eluf, originou-se a partir de uma série de desenhos que vem sendo desenvolvidos desde 1998, dos quais selecionamos parte deles para a apresentação deste trabalho. O trabalho foi estruturado em grupos de imagens que tratam o desenho como uma forma de aproximação do outro e de mim mesma, do meu modo de estar no mundo. O que se pretende nesta dissertação é, por meio da linguagem visual e dos procedimentos técnicos do desenho, valorizar o fazer criativo: a intenção, o ato de criar, transformar e realizar algo.
Abstract: This Master's Project under the guidance of Professor Lygia Eluf Arcuri, originated from a series of drawings that have been developed since 1998. Some of them were selected for the presentation of this work. The work was divided into groups of images that deal with the drawing as a way to approach the other and myself, to my way of being in the world. The aim of this work is, through the visual language and technical processes of drawing, value the creative making: the intention, the act of creating, transforming and accomplishing something.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo investigar a utilização da perspectiva na arte contemporânea por meio do trabalho da artista plástica brasileira Regina Silveira. Uma das preocupações foi analisar as questões que estão por trás da presença da perspectiva dentro da produção artística atual, como por exemplo, a crítica à natureza da imagem e seus meios de representação, a manipulação do ponto de vista, a simulação e a ilusão do espaço e ainda como deformação no caso das anamorfoses. Todas essas questões foram permeadas pela teoria da percepção visual e da psicologia da percepção em análises das obras da artista brasileira, seus trabalhos gráficos (desenhos e gravuras), objetos e instalações a partir do final dos anos 70 até os mais atuais, como também os chamados desenhos preparatórios e as maquetes, que são projetos nos quais a artista desenvolve as idéias de seus trabalhos e são neles que mais se percebe a manipulação da perspectiva. Também foram analisados trabalhos de outros artistas que discutiram ou discutem as mesmas questões que a artista brasileira, como por exemplo, Marcel Duchamp e Jan Dibbets. Essa análise mostrou que cada período histórico possui sua visão de mundo e uma maneira de dirigir o olhar para um determinado ponto de vista, portanto uma maneira de utilizar a perspectiva. Nos dias atuais, a subversão do olhar do espectador e, ainda, a destruição da estabilidade de sua percepção causada por essa subversão, fazem da manipulação do ponto de vista a partir do uso da perspectiva, uma atitude contemporânea no trabalho desses artistas
Abstract: This research was intended to investigate the use of perspective in contemporary art through the work of the Brazilian artist Regina Silveira. One of the concerns was the issues behind the presence of perspective within the current artistic production, for example, the critical of the image¿s nature, the resources of representation, the manipulation of viewpoint, the simulation, the space illusion and the deformation as in the case of anamorphosis. All these questions were related to the theory of visual perception and the psychology of perception in analyses of the Regina Silveira¿s work, in graphics (drawings and prints), objects and installations from the end of 70 to the current, but also the called preparatory drawings and models, that are projects in which the artist develops the ideas of their work and more if realizes the manipulation of perspective. Were also analyzed works of other artists who discussed or discuss the same issues as the Silveira, for example, Marcel Duchamp and Jan Dibbets. The analysis showed that each historical period has its vision of the world and to deal the look for a particular viewpoint, so a way to use the perspective. Nowadays, the subversion of the look of the spectator and, yet, the destruction of stability of their perception caused by such subversion, make the manipulation of viewpoint a contemporary attitude in the work of such artists

This study aims to analyze the condition of art within society from the perspective of the contemporary development of “contemporary art” and “public art.” After the height of modernism in the 20th century, when art was far removed from the masses, following the tide of post-modernism, the barrier between art and life gradually broke down, bringing a critical moment for a reunion between the two. This study first discusses the course of development of “art” and “public art” through a review of related research. Along the way, the author demonstrates the links between art and the masses via the changes in thinking from “modernism” to “post-modernism” and the cases of public and contemporary art. The first chapter explores the various links between art and society via a discussion of the study of the origins and social conditions of art. The second chapter describes the great change in the course of society’s thinking from modernism to post-modernism, which altered the relations between art and the masses. This change created a good opportunity for a reunion between art and the masses, and we should not overlook the two milestones along the way to this reunion: Dadaism and pop art. The third chapter discusses the rise of public art, beginning with the government-sponsored public art projects of Roosevelt’s New Deal. It emphasizes that the fruits of this “public” art were far different from the commemorative statues already in public spaces. The chapter also explores the practicality of Taiwanese public art in its early stages of development. In addition to describing the responsibilities of public art, the fourth chapter describes the topics of “the elite and the masses” and “art and the public” in the practice of public art and contemporary art, as well as the value of public art’s pursuit of the “process.” The fifth chapter points to the phenomena of “contemporary art,” “public art” and the “citizen aesthetic” in Taiwan today through means of a discussion of the cases of German artist Beuys’s “social sculpture” and Bourdieu’s cultural education and “the heart of history.”

Full textEsta dissertação propõe uma abordagem à arquitectura dos teatros no século XXI. A partir da consideração de seis edifícios europeus, projectados entre os finais do século XX e a primeira década do século XXI, construídos ou em fase de construção, pretende-se criar um campo de reflexão em torno do panorama contemporâneo da tipologia teatral.O trabalho desenvolve-se com a apresentação, análise e interpretação de cada uma das obras propostas. A sua selecção teve por base a detecção de temas que correspondessem às especificidades de cada caso de estudo e que, ao mesmo tempo, formulassem um conjunto que permitisse a análise comparativa, desenvolvida na conclusão do trabalho. Assim, por ordem de apresentação, consideraram-se os seguintes temas, cada um deles correspondendo a cada caso de estudo:Urbanidade, Espaço Público, Forma e Imagem, Agregação Programática, Limites e Atmosfera.Em cada obra, apresentam-se os seus autores e respectivo contexto disciplinar, a cidade em que se localizam e o seu contexto envolvente - físico, social e cultural. Para além disto, abordam-se os aspectos essenciais da obra: implantação, programa, organização e forma, desenvolvidos em relação com o tema proposto.No final, em modo de conclusão, sintetizam-se as observações obtidas a partir do estudo das obras e discorre-se acerca delas. Colocando-se os casos de estudo em situação de comparação, denunciam-se paralelismos e desvios e enunciam-se as constantes e tendências.

No entanto, apesar de ser alvo de recorrente discussão, a sua apresentação em publicações de arquitetura é muitas vezes de carácter global, não sendo aprofundadas opções de ordem construtiva e de pormenor, na sua relação com as opções conceptuais.Com recurso a ferramentas teóricas e estudo de casos, propõe-se investigar questões relativas à intervenção no construído em contexto contemporâneo, introduzindo uma diferente perspetiva de análise e interpretação, no sentido de compreender a obra de forma mais abrangente, ou seja, do conceito ao pormenor.Para um melhor enquadramento das obras analisadas, revelou-se essencial abordar temas relacionados com o pensamento contemporâneo sobre o património, as teorias da intervenção no construído, o problema da relação novo-antigo, e ainda aspetos de tectónica, construção e pormenor (como o material, junta e o detalhe).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between arts learning experiences and arts learning interest by taking the students at three Elementary School Teachers’ Training Programs in Taiwan as the sample. The contents of this study comprises two parts: first, literature reviews of training courses for elementary school teachers, art education theories and art education in Taiwan; second, a cross-reference study based on some random interviews of students from the three teachers’ training programs under investigation as well as the statistic results of a questionnaire for students at three Elementary School Teachers’ Training Programs through such statistic tools as SPSS and SAS. The conclusions drawn from the research can be summarized as follows:1.The majority of the students investigated are still interested in taking up arts related activities, among which reading articles about arts comes first and making up a work of art the last. 2.By comparing and contrasting how students from three different schools respond to arts differently after taking courses from different art teachers, it is found that students would show more interest in arts if they have been properly instructed and encouraged in a well designed and conducted art class.3.The period of their elementary school life is seen by most students as the most significant one in their past learning experiences with arts.4.An overwhelming majority of the students investigated value the importance of having a good art teachers more than the other factors that also influence their interests in arts.5.In their learning experiences with arts at School Teachers’ Training Program, students are motivated by such factors as the contingencies of the teaching materials, the diversity of the contents, the systematic and organized teaching as well as an impartial evaluation from the teacher who has professionalism and accommodating character.6. In the category of what characteristics a good art teacher would affect students’ interest in arts, the calls for the teacher’s professionalism and fair treatment of students are addressed.7. As far as the subject matter of an art class is concerned, students appear better motivated by the things that they can relate to their day-to-day lives. 8. In the correlation between teacher’s teaching strategies and students’ motivation for learning, whether the teacher is accommodating and able to instruct logically and efficiently so as to help students build up a sense of achievement is highly valued. 9. The influence of class management upon learning motivation is intensified by a warm and liberal class setting and the teacher’s sense of humor and wit.10. There is a positive correlation between arts learning experiences and arts learning interest.

I lived my childhood with my parents and the army in the territory called Golden Triangle where was surrounded by three nations , Thailand , Burma and Laos. The place was wonderful and dreamlike paradise. It was covered with original forests and rivers. Now , those images are still vivid in my heart. After clarifying my motivations, initial intentions , the relationship between creation , and creation is similar with birth of life. The work would become an independent being ofter being created and these works that praise for the beauty of life the objects other than human. These independent works could explore the depths of my heart. Finally I would introspect myself to explore painting as the creative works, and presented to the works. After experienced long lest repression , I am desperate to express my feeling through acrylic painting. The reason why I relected acrylic painting is its nature technigue which can be earily applied to my three painting series , alien land , festive autum and memory of lotus.

Full textO empreendorismo artístico é um tema de estudo recente, cuja definição ainda não é consensual. Contudo, o contexto de ação de artistas profissionais e empreendedores é comumente entendido como desafiante. Para responder aos obstáculos dos artistas empreendedores, a literatura já reúne modelos de apoio para as atividades independentes. Não obstante, o número de estudos e modelos desenvolvidos é reduzido, devido à recência das Indústrias Culturais e Criativas. Adicionalmente, existe uma escassez na pesquisa e estudos sobre os subsegmentos do campo artístico. Tendo em conta a relevância do segmento das artes visuais para as economias modernas e criativa, esta tese pretender desenvolver um sistema para ajudar artistas visuais, forçados ou aspirantes empreendedores. Com base na observação de modelos auxiliares existentes na literatura, e através da investigação de múltiplos casos de artistas visuais empreendedores bem-sucedidos, um novo modelo de apoio é desenvolvido. O novo modelo conceptual é resultado da observação de nove casos de artistas visuais empreendedores e bem-sucedidos, possibilitada por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os dados recolhidos permitiram compreender os maiores desafios, motivações e estratégias responsáveis pelo sucesso dos artistas. Assim, com base na informação recolhida, uma nova estrutura de suporte para as artes visuais identifica uma série de mecanismos chave para o sucesso: desde especificas ações empreendedoras (relacionadas com criatividade, rede e gestão) à definição da atitude necessária a ter para o sucesso. Este estudo pretende aprofundar o entendimento sobre o empreendorismo artístico e proporcionar ferramentas úteis para auxiliar futuras gerações de artistas visuais.

Full textThis is a study about a certain unthought in art which is associated with the presence of chance and indetermination. Its subject is therefore the instant in which the artist's intention and the precision of his tools cease to define the predictability of his own actions - even if only as a gesture of enunciation or artificialisation of chance. Focusing on those visual arts that bring together random elements and planned actions, unpredictability and determinism, chance and control, we try to question the aporetic nature of an aesthetic game that combines absolute surprise with its methodological and processual anticipation.How should we approach the results of what is unthought and unexpected in art and its thought? What are the distinctive features in contemporary artistic practice of the presence of chance and indetermination in the processual mechanisms of art?Assuming that art is something made from its own making, our first step is to propose the notion of almost-ideal game - based on a rereading of Deleuze - to define chance in art as operative, coordinating plasticity, experimentation and imagination as its motors. Blind imagination thus emerges simply as another name for the hesitant experimentation through which the unthought in art is accessed. As the operative blindness of art results from the unpredictability of its media, of its machines, the mechanisms of indetermination in artistic practice actually coincide with the specific machinic processes of aesthetic experimentation.It is then suggested, in line with Agamben, that only in an era of ubiquitous technique can art radically think its media, making them (in)operative; consideration is also given to the principle of a pure mediality which is grounded on aesthetic experimentation or, in other words, to the principle of an art that shows itself capable of testing its media to the limit. Machinic dysfunctionality and the obsolescence of the media are thus two of the main ways of inducing that vertigo that makes things stutter and react unexpectedly and surprisingly. Embodying the almost perfect figure of a machine that produces and induces production - a machine of sharing and interference that the artist must not hamper or control, since important things always happen in a surprising way, never where we expect them -, we give the name technological unconscious to this degree of indetermination and surprise that is the reserve of any machine.In response to the declared intention of focusing analysis on the genuine operative processes of doing-thinking in art, case studies are presented throughout the work, from the classical tradition of accidental images to Alexander Cozens or from August Strindberg to Duchamp, finally arriving at discussion on the problems posed by this thesis regarding the field of contemporary art.It can be concluded from this study that technology offers, or can offer, fertile terrain for the unthought, for the random and for the unexpected, linking those vital ingredients of art which are experimentation, plasticity and blind imagination. The attention - fascinated or defascinated - paid by art to its machines and their mechanisms of indetermination thus defines, in operative terms, one of the most important distinctive features of the presence of chance in current artistic practice.

Full textCurrent learning environments follow a traditional organization where there is someone in control, the administrator, someone responsible for the content available, the teacher, and then someone to absorb the knowledge transmitted by the professor, the learners. This system denies students the opportunity to share their knowledge and contribute to the learning environment.Discussion about research results and work done is one of the most beneficial activities to improve art student's capacities and helps them express their thoughts and ideas. Limitations imposed by the learning environments prevent students from sharing their work, especially to share different multimedia contents such as images, video and audio files.Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) can overcome most difficulties of current learning environments, however, tools are spread in different platforms and no one uses the same tools, difficulting collaboration and content sharing between individuals.In this dissertation we explore the opportunity to create a social learning environment in order to overcome most learning management systems handicaps and to shorten the need for disperse tools in which personal learning environments depends. This will allow students to share different multimedia content with each other, enabling their work to be seen and used by the community and, at the same time, improving critical thinking. Furthermore, the problem of communication between students from remote locations and distance learning is also addressed.In order to accomplish such environment, Drupal, a Content Management System (CMS), is being used, which will allow us to extend its functionalities in order to be able to allow students to share their work in groups, to contribute with their knowledge allowing them to post content and to communicate in a more convenient way. Different approaches to how to enchant Drupal are studied and their benefits and downsides are compared. The final platform has been tested by members of NEA (Núcleo de Educação Artística), an organization which takes action in arts education and investigation, and later by students from their courses. As expected, this solution will help achieve a higher communication between students, allowing easier sharing of contents and awake creativity and critical sense, removing the necessity to use different tools located in different environments, however it will not substitute tools for content creation and editing. It was also proven that this solution can suite distance education and even the possibility to use it for Massive Online Open Courses (MOOC) is left open.

Full textArchitecture, due to its symbolic character, influences the construction of individual and collective consciousness of the world, and can therefore be established as a tool for the education of society. The architect is then responsible for observing the spaces he designs and reflecting on the messages it conveys. This investigation starts by looking at contemporary schools and cities, which, as collective spaces, are especially significant in social learning. On the one hand, schools remain tied to obsolete practices that restrict education to the interior of the classroom. By isolating themselves from the city, their sites prevent the natural integration of the school into human life, conveying segregation and discrimination values to the children and the inhabitants that are unable to relate to their space. On the other hand, cities, where the public space represents less and less a collective identity, progressively seek simplification by establishing homogeneous territories, fostering a culture of fear where children are particularly affected. Schools and cities have, however, in their complexity - the diversity of people, activities and ideas that inhabit and run through them - an opportunity to establish themselves as privileged educational spaces, which can pave the way for a truly democratic society. Therefore, it is in the openness of their spaces and the dilution of any limits that seek to impose prejudices and determine the understanding of the world that lies the path to the knowledge and recognition of reality and, thus, to consciousness. The school and the city, as exemplary spaces in the education of society, should then aim for dialogue, establishing borders between them, where contact and sharing intensify and become a reason for learning. On the one hand, the human and material resources present in the city can enrich education at school. On the other hand, the school has the ability and the responsibility to open to the whole population, making the universal right and the permanent nature of education a reality, both in time and space. From the urban scale to the human scale, the design of its spaces cannot be dissociated, emerging instead as an opportunity to rethink the spaces of the community, gathered for the purpose of learning.

Full textThe main theme of the present dissertation is the contemporary single-family house of the early twenty-first century in Brazil and in Portugal. The research object concerns of four houses, two Portuguese: the RF House by Architect Nuno Graça Moura, and the House in Macinhata by Architect Nuno Brandão Costa, and two Brazilian: the Bacopari House by Una Arquitetos, and the House in Morro do Querosene by Grupo SP. The main objective of this study is to analyse and compare the design strategies applied in each of the buildings, and to draw a parallel between the way Portuguese and Brazilian architects have solved the theme of the house. In order to achieve the proposed objectives, three main discussions are developed: the house and the place, the interior / exterior relations, and the facade - the house drawn from the inside out versus the house drawn from the outside in. These discussions are supported by the contributions of Christian Norberg-Schulz, Álvaro Siza and Aldo Rossi about the relationship of the house with the place, Adolf Loos and Le Corbusier through Beatriz Colomina's work about the interior / exterior relations, and Robert Venturi on the importance of the facade. In addition to the analysed bibliography, interviews were conducted with the architects responsible for the studied works, guide the presentation of the houses and the understanding of the intentions and strategies they have adopted in each case. Finally, it is understood that despite having some similarities, which are reflections of their contemporary temporality, the solutions of some problems of the house tended to follow different cultural premises, accordingly to the context of each country.

Full textThe dissertation was developed from an extensive research on collective and alternative ways of living to its contemporaries. In a first part, the work traces an evolutionary line creating relationships and interconnections from the utopian socialists of the early 19th century to the first cohousing communities founded in the second half of the 20th century. As an example, they can be cited: New Lanark, Phalanstère, Familistère, Central kitchen buildings, Narkomfin, Garden-Cities, Hufeisensiedlung, Kibbutz, Berlin Wall, Oscar-Niemeyer-Haus, Unité D'Habitation, Conservatization of the post-war society, Suburbanization, Hippies, Demonstrations of 68, Freetown Christiania, Illegal squatings in Zurich, Saettedammen, Skraplanet, Stacken, Autonomes Jugendzentrum, Karthago, Dreieck, Kalkbreite, Zollhaus, and finally the city of Porto. In the chosen route, the themes and buildings listed above elucidated the evolutionary line of thought and social aspects of each of these initiatives and experiments, highlighting the architectural response to the social demand for community life and coexistence. Collaborative housing is one among the many lines and ramifications of the collective way of thinking, which provides community living based on the sharing of social spaces, goods, and mutual cooperation among people who choose this way of living as an alternative. In the end, a project-oriented essay is proposed with the objective of architecturally responding to a hypothetical occupation of a Oporto's bourgeois house, from the second half of the 19th century, by a collaborative housing community.

Full textThe current dissertation regards architecture's disciplinary condition through its productive and educational structures, namely the relations between pedagogical practice and productive practice, its supplying processes and transformation processes. Its study subject is to identify, dissect and analyse the productive and educational apparatus in Architecture via its shapes, principles, methods and results, revisiting and reconsidering its developments until today in light of its political condition, exercising the consideration of the corresponding generator - generator-school -, labouring on the contradiction between the emancipatory becoming and its perspective considering the overall contemporaneity. The current work is the result of a qualitative basis investigation, using ethnographic methods and tools of participating observation, on the matters of pedagogy and institution, focusing on the particular case of FAUP, relating to the progression of the role of the architect in study and work, at school and in the city. It is concluded that, towards the transformation of the conditions for learning and production in architecture, in a liberating and emancipatory perspective, it is imperative the thought on social relations of production which conform society and State.

Full textThe present dissertation expands the analysis on the Bairro do Carvalhido, in the city of Porto, analyzing its entire life cycle in time: i) original project, ii) rehabilitation and iii) prospects for a future assessment in a primordial sense, including contributions for its requalification, maintenance and usage. The theme of the work is part of a broader question of contemporary management and rehabilitation of affordable dwellings, of which some examples will be presented and analyzed both in the national and international context. The methodology of this work blends indirect sources (such as written, graphic, cartographic, photographic information) with direct sources (in situ analysis and interviews). With this methodological backing, the analysis of Bairro do Carvalhido is developed under three aspects: i) urban (its surroundings and public space), ii) constructive (its constructive system, materials and infrastructure) and iii) typological (its common spaces and housing). The original proposal for Bairro do Carvalhido (1958) was part of the Improvement Plan of the City of Porto (1956-1977) which this present work succinctly contextualizes, as well as its antecedents. Subsequently, the rehabilitation of Bairro do Carvalhido (2007-2018) promoted by Domus Social is analyzed, which essentially focuses on the exterior aspects of the buildings (namely its roofs, façades and window frames) as well as, on the infrastructure (among them water, electricity and gas networks). Finally, despite the recent intervention (which, due to the limited funding available, it was not comprehensive and exhaustive enough), there are still some problems in Bairro do Carvalhido, among which the state of preservation and appropriation of the building and its public space. In this sense, the present work intends to showcase some contributions for a future appreciation of Bairro do Carvalhido in a broader sense, integrating such as guidelines for the requalification of the surrounding public spaces, as well as points of view for future maintenance and practice of good usage. Consequently, there is an intent to contribute in prolonging the life of the building over time through better and more sustainable management of resources and, at the same time, increasing the self-esteem and satisfaction of the users, and by that preserving the integrity and architectural value for future generations.

Full textThis thesis dissects the resurgence of Lisbon after the 1755 earthquake. The main goal is to rethink the city within a conflicting debate that is capable of rescuing it from a questionable pacification; capable of unveiling it as a needed response or attempt to resist the tremendous tragic burden caused by the Earthquake; that may be able to deepen its dreams and contradictions; enhancing it through its fragility; making it meaningful. More specifically, the work is about how Lisbon - forename of a character where one may find the gathered, overlapped, and divergent intentions of Manuel da Maia, Eugénio dos Santos, and the Marquis de Pombal - dreamed about a future freed from fear, loss, and irrationality; about how it perceived the consequences of its vision of a future identity and how it may have aimed to hold back its early purpose. This work is, therefore, about assertiveness, recognition, and regret. From this tripartite way of understanding Lisbon, the thesis will draw its structure. The first part will seek to set up Manuel da Maia's Dissertation and the plan drawn by Eugénio dos Santos within the emotional and cultural consequences of the tragedy: seen in the chronological conflict evoked by the ruins, in the context of an articulation between a rational belief and the suggestion of a subverted nature, without virtue, intent nor reason. Out of the reaction to this double-sided tragedy, the discourse unfolds in two parts, focusing on the challenging struggles between Lisbon and its emerging demons: the free contemplation of destiny and the initial terror resounding in its rationality. Through this confrontation and the way the future would be dealt with afterwards, the work will sort out the temporal problem at stake in the new Lisbon. At the intersection point between Lisbon's initial intentions and their consequences, its character will be clarified; the profound difficulty of the circumstance in which it found itself immersed will be revealed: a dispute between a new time reclaiming Lisbon to be its own expression and a past time that, despite the initial radicalism of the project for the downtown area, in the end, would prove to be not that silent.

Full textAll of us appear to be guided by magical digits of a watch, but few are the ones that know the direction of a compass. Backbone of human existence, time seems to domesticate all our movements, taking us too many times to despise the most beautiful of questions: what place do we take in this sphere we have agreed to call the world? Geographical synapsis of past and future memories, the present dissertation collects the fragments of a travel log in South American lands, that makes use of architecture as bare lens to the world observation, as it reflects on essential themes of the construction of space and of life. Under the perspective of an eye that finds without looking, that projects in the easiness of paper the notes of an announced and felt journey, which profile progressively acquires the shape of its own oblivion. Umbilically conditioned by architecture's craft, gropes its limits under the shape of fragments that return humanity the sensibility of a true enquiry, free of vices or prejudice. Like any story told over a link of fragments, benefits from its inaugural and urgent nature with which prints tenuous oppressing figures in multiple directions. I invite the reader to come close to them with the boldness of who errs in fresh looks of an unknown place, and refuses to learn the language in which everything has already been said. May you find in my vision, without wants of others, your own, and in it mold the outlines of an existence other than mine. May you awe and thrill at every finding as much as I silence my eternal particles of this great adventure that we miraculously share: life.

Full textBased on a duality between the permanence of what is written and printed, and the fragility of becoming quickly outdated (-fortunatly!), this dissertation is a gesture of tenderness about an elegy that itself should not have to be. Morphologically, the research begins with a moment of personal reconnaissance of the place where one invests in the differentiation of distinct scales which only the movement through spaces can enable, and thus it creates the journey that allows the real approach to the site and its context. Then, one takes the visible and the invisible of the object in study. With an analysis based on observation and consequent deduction, we approach the roots that contain inheritances and memories; the domesticated landscape taken as a workshop of our expressiveness; the manufacture of personal symbols for our own safety; the processes and instruments that leads us to commitment in architecture; and the sharing of knowledge as a method of regeneration of the suspended in dwelling. A work written with the tools of the word, the drawing and the image, and starting from an house already old and hostage of its own circumstances, that gives mold for an essay on a project process that is its own premeditation.

Full textThis dissertation focuses on Antón Capitel, one of the "most interesting and complex architectural composition themes" - Rehabilitation. This theme's inherent difficulty is associated with searching for a coherent and balanced solution between apparently paradoxical concepts: permanence and transformation, tradition and innovation, past and present, valuing pre-existence and the need to adapt to contemporary demands. The policy of conserving human evolution's testimonies has been changing over time, from the most remote times to our days, depending on the culture and the geographical place. From this point of view, the intention to prolong a material heritage's life has always relied on recognizing its values and meanings, whether or not they legitimized its future. Hence there is an unmeasurable list of works that have not survived until then, vulnerable either to vandalism, harmful re-use or even to the natural effects of degradation. The inherent problem of how to intervene in the pre-existing context, in the case of a vernacular house inserted in the municipality of Peso da Régua, it motivates the construction of a theoretical narrative that helps the exercise of project. Based on an analytical and reflexive contextualization of how it has been done over time and on an in-depth knowledge of the object's circumstances and conditioning factors to intervene and find an adequate project solution. In the absence of a universal theory of action, the circumstances underlying each intervention will be different. It is up to the architect "to have the sensitivity, through knowledge of pre-existence, to make a synthesis between the past and the present. They are thus adding new meanings and utilities to the existing, without destroying or nullifying it". Thus, the architect walks on the razor's edge between historicist pastiche and contemporary exaltation. Running the risk, in the first case, of freezing the architecture, to integrate into a museum or to transform into a museum piece it, making it unsuited to contemporary demands, and, in the second, of the values introduced annulling the nature and documentary character of the work itself.

Full textThis dissertation is motivated by the perspective of rehabilitation of a residential building located in the historic center of the city of Vila do Conde, whose theoretical foundation is based on the intersection of different disciplines that are articulated with Architecture in the way of studying the house and inhabiting it. It is considered pertinent to understand the concrete needs of everyday life, rich in the plurality of personal, social, cultural and family stimuli that it has from the physical, sensory and sentimental point of view. In fact, the space of the house is important because it asserts itself as the setting for all these dimensions, which must not only be present in the architect's conscience, but must also be enhanced by the individual who appropriates and adapts the space to his needs. Thus, a chronology is outlined that goes through the organizational and socio-anthropological evolution of the housing typology, beginning in the 16th century and culminating in the contemporary era, from which examples of the Porto bourgeois house and the types of habitation hat emerged in Lisbon between the decade of 40 and 70. A reflection is elaborated on the inseparability of Architecture with the disciplines of Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology and Anthropology, in order to be able to integrate and understand the role of Man when building a home, as well as the consequent appropriation that transforms it into an identity space. As a result of these considerations, the rehabilitation project calls for these concerns and factors for the design of the shape, functional organization, materiality, plasticity of the light, also suggesting a solution of spatial organization.
