Daciano da Costa worked his entire life to change the role of Design in Portugal; he studied, painted and drew, designed, collaborated, broke and twisted, invented, restarted and won. This is what this exhibition and its catalogue want to make known. It is not just a matter of showing, throughout his career as a professional designer, the finished solutions, but also the approximations, hesitations and boldness of a great talent and of the rigorous use of a suitable method for solving the problems raised by different investigations and commissions. The Gulbenkian Foundation therefore welcomes this opportunity and thanks the dedicated collaboration of all those involved in the production and setting up of this initiative, and especially the commitment and enthusiasm of its commissioner, João Paulo Martins. The diverse space of the Foundation opened to the public in 1969 and occupies a significant and exemplary place in the city of Lisbon and in the history of Design, Architecture and Landscaping in Portugal, which is pertinent to note and essential to document. With the Daciano da Costa exhibition, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation begins a cycle of three major exhibitions, to be continued in 2003 and 2005, dedicated to presenting the body of work of the authors of the Head Office’s landscape and architectural projects. It is also important to note that the present renovation of the Head Office’s interiors and the adaptation of its spaces to new requirements benefits from Daciano da Costa’s enthusiastic collaboration, which gives continuity to work started some 40 years ago. To show here, at the Gulbenkian Foundation, Daciano da Costa's already historic work is like presenting it at home. Emílio Rui Vilar Foreword Trustee of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation his exhibition was built as a network of affiliations. First of all, because T this way the Fine Arts Service of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, on the initiative of its director the painter Manuel da Costa Cabral, fulfils the institution’s tradition – of promoting modernity and disseminating the values of Portuguese culture –, by allowing a retrospective view of a career that, from very early on, was linked to the very image of the Foundation. Secondly, because both the exhibition and the catalogue are the result of rela- tionships cultivated over the years – working relationships, but also friendship. A former student of Daciano da Costa’s at Lisbon’s Faculty of Architecture, I have been a collaborator in his atelier, working daily on projects, and a teaching assistant for the undergraduate Design course that he coordinates. When I accepted the invitation to be this exhibition’s commissioner, I knew that for the book that would preserve its memory I could count on the col- laboration of José Brandão – with all his professionalism and rigour –, who is also a former collaborator of Daciano’s and a lecturer for our degree. Nothing could be more natural, then, than to perceive these tasks as an extension of everyday professional practice, as a consequence of the act of designing and its teaching. For this reason, the structure of the exhibition and the final selection of the graphic material to be presented were determined, delibera- tely, in an ongoing dialogue – a fruitful dialogue, of constant discoveries, with the author of the work to be exhibited and with the team responsible for the graphic design of the catalogue. Our main intention was to reveal the “backstage” of the creative act: to show the daily labour that precedes and supports the final product; to display the final work but also the method followed to achieve it.
