A referência ao seu nome não é prática corrente e está por fazer o levantamento exaustivo do seu percurso pessoal e profissional. Não fazendo parte dos nossos objectivos levar a cabo um estudo biográfico sobre o autor do Tratado da Ruação, que consideramos no entanto urgente acontecer, a investigação levada a cabo neste capítulo reporta quase exclusivamente à consulta de fontes indirectas. Apesar de sintética encontra-mos alusão ao seu nome em diversos dicionários e enciclopédias. Sousa Viterbo1 e José Manuel Pedreirinho2 constituem leitura obrigatória neste capítulo. O primeiro refere-o como architecto da igreja da Ordem Terceira do Carmo, cuja primeira pedra foi lançada a 29 de agosto de 1756 3, remetendo para a sua fonte Francisco Patricio, Resumo histórico da fundação e desenvolvimento da venerável Ordem Terceira de Nossa Senhora do Monte do Carmo no Porto 4. O segundo escreve acerca dele que é natural de Viseu, desconhe-se-se a data do seu nascimento, morre no Porto em 1773. Sabe-se que trabalhou como pintor sob a direcção de Nicolau Nasoni (trabalhou na Sé do Porto, 1734, Vila Real, 1745, Igreja dos Clérigos no Porto) e como arquitecto, sendo talvez o autor da Capela do Solar de Mateus (1743) e da fachada da Capela Nova (1753), ambas em Vila Real e muito na linha das obras de Nasoni.

  • The Antebellum Houses of Hancock County, Georgia
    PRESERVING EARLY SOUTHERN ARCHITECTURE: THE ANTEBELLUM HOUSES OF HANCOCK COUNTY, GEORGIA by CATHERINE DREWRY COMER (Under the Direction of Wayde Brown) ABSTRACT Antebellum houses are a highly significant and irreplaceable cultural resource; yet in many cases, various factors lead to their slow deterioration with little hope for a financially viable way to restore them. In Hancock County, Georgia, intensive cultivation of cotton beginning in the 1820s led to a strong plantation economy prior to the Civil War. In the twenty-first century, however, Hancock has been consistently ranked among the stateʼs poorest counties. Surveying known and undocumented antebellum homes to determine their current condition, occupancy, and use allows for a clearer understanding of the outlook for the antebellum houses of Hancock County. Each of the antebellum houses discussed in this thesis tells a unique part of Hancockʼs history, which in turn helps historians better understand a vanished era in southern culture.

In Antebellum Charleston people tended to cling to the classical styles of architecture even when the rest of the nation and Europe were enthusiastically embracing the different picturesque styles, such as Gothic Revival and Italianate. In the United States the Gothic Revival style can be found adorning buildings of every use.

  • Chicago's Botanic Garden: Translating Horticulture Into
    CHICAGO’S BOTANIC GARDEN: TRANSLATING HORTICULTURE INTO COMMUNITY ACTION A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY REBA DREY LUIKEN IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SALLY GREGORY KOHLSTEDT JANUARY 2020 © Reba Drey Luiken Acknowledgements A completed dissertation may be evidence of many things, but it certainly reflects the presence of numerous supporters. My advisor, Sally Gregory Kohlstedt, has been chief among them from the beginning of my graduate journey. She has offered ongoing encouragement, consistently high standards, and prompt responses to questions and feedback on work. Her detailed critiques have influenced all of my major writing projects and her broad experience has shaped my development as a scholar and professional. She has been always generous with her time and deep expertise. My committee members have also been enthusiastic supporters throughout my graduate school career. Susan Jones guided me in environmental history pursuits and as a teaching assistant. Juliet Burba has offered sage advice about careers in museums and outside of academia. Dominique Tobbell provided critical and detailed advice on oral history methods and insightful comments on intersections between my research and the history of medicine. Lisa Aston Philander has been an enthusiastic cheerleader and an invaluable collaborator on garden and exhibits projects. Beyond these individuals, the University of Minnesota has been an ongoing home as I have developed from an undergraduate to a doctoral student. Deena Wassenberg generously adopted my interest in science education and steered my undergraduate honors thesis when it became clear that I found people more interesting than plants by themselves.

  • Leisurely Visit to Portugal's Beautiful Northern Region with Time for Independent Exploration • Two Full Days in Porto
    Leisurely visit to Portugal’s beautiful northern region with time for independent exploration Two full days in Porto, to include an excursion to the Atlantic coast Wonderful selection of sacred & secular buildings including Bom Jesus do Monte with its stunning views We stay in Porto’s city centre, then in historic hotels in Pinhão & Monção Braga, Bom Jesus do Monte The Douro Valley and the Minho are two of the most scenic and atmospheric regions of Portugal. The Rio Douro, the “River of Gold” stretches some 160 or more miles from the Spanish border to the sea, and originally flowed through wild countryside. The development of port wine lodges in the eighteenth century changed the area and it has lovely countryside, full of pretty villages, historic towns and much else besides. Bordering Galicia, the Minho is less well known, though the Portuguese consider it to be the most beautiful of all and it has two of the country’s most lovely cities, Guimarães and Braga sitting amidst spectacular natural scenery. Porto is the Douro’s delightful capital and we shall spend three nights there, allowing us time to explore it in detail. The city was European City of Culture in 2001 and this precipitated an extensive programme of repair and restoration, making it a particularly attractive place to visit. One of its highlights is the work of the Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni, who arrived in Porto in 1725 and designed many important churches and other buildings in the prevailing baroque style, such as the Clérigos Church and Tower. Other places we shall see include what is definitely one the world’s most beautiful railway stations, São Bento with its fabulous tiled interiors.

  • Loveland Garden Club Chronological Historical Summary
    LOVELAND GARDEN CLUB CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORICAL SUMMARY 1983­1984 – Seven enthusiastic gardeners, Fran Dowd, Sue Feagler, Judy Gacek, Marge Gardner, Gail Klauschie, Paula Howard and Joan Wolfgram founded the Loveland Garden Club. A steering committee created a mission statement and bylaws and nominated officers. The first meeting was held on September 27, 1983. Loveland Garden Club’s mission statement reads, “The objective of the club shall be to stimulate the love of gardening, encourage home and community beautification, promote horticultural practices and encourage all forms of conservation.” 1984­1985 – The club launched its first civic project, the renovation and maintenance of the grounds and landscaping of the annual Omaha Symphony Designer Showhouse. The club participated in this project through 1994. Members traveled to Pella, Iowa to visit the annual tulip festival. 1985­1986 – LGC members dedicated the year to educational outreach. Club programs focused on the development of basic knowledge of gardening, exploring topics ranging from starting a bulb garden, learning about plant life that attracts birds and wildlife, planting summer pots and planters, creating fall decorations and learning about the fundamentals of landscaping. The club traveled in 1986, 1987 and 1988 to Kansas City to view the Kansas City Showhouse and gardens. Members visited the Omaha City Greenhouse and Neale Woods Nature Center for programs on butterfly gardens and prairie flowers. Meyer Rehabilitation Institute’s Garden Walk featured several Loveland members’ gardens. 1986­1987 – The club established its first annual fund raising project, “Loveland Luminaria Night”. The soft glow of the “little lights” lined the Loveland neighborhood streets and entrances to homes on the Sunday before the holidays.
