  • Some Thoughts on the Portuguese Colonial City and Architecture in Post­Colonial Times
    Sociology Study, October 2014, Vol. 4, No. 10, 881‐890 D doi: 10.17265/2159‐5526/2014.10.006 DAVID PUBLISHING Some Thoughts on the Portuguese Colonial City and Architecture in Post­Colonial Times José Manuel Fernandesa Abstract The research on the architecture and urbanism of the former Portuguese Africa allows us to consider and to establish the real intrinsic value, typological and morphological diversity, and the lengthy duration of the legacy of this architectural/urban heritage. Portuguese colonization in Africa produced more recently, mostly in the period 1950‐1975, some vast and great material values, of which seven or eight main cities, including the vast contents of their modern architecture, are striking examples. We can evaluate the most positive aspects with future impact represented by this Portuguese architects’ practice (cultural ethics, use of modern technology, and service to society) and the architectonic work produced during that era. Although these cities and its architecture were created within a late colonial context of indisputable discrimination, they have prevailed despite wars and circumstantial abandonment. Now they represent a consistent material basis for the modernization and/or revitalization of urban life in these countries. Architects that are at present working and intervening in these countries should understand this ambivalence and complementary nature between the ex‐colonial “concrete city” and the “informal city” pre‐ and post‐colonial, so that their performance is socially and culturally informed, correct, and positive. Keywords Portuguese colonial, modern architecture, post‐colonial I have been told that the people who are born and live by the Such legacy is not always of Portuguese origin sea have a purer nature.

  • Mosteiro De Santa Cruz De Coimbra
    Mosteiro de Santa Cruz de Coimbra O MOSTEIRO DE SANTA CRUZ é o mais importante monumento coimbrão, quer pelo seu valor artístico quer pela sua história. A sua fundação foi uma das primeiras afirmações materiais de poder daquele que primeiro haveria de cingir a coroa régia nacional, Afonso Henriques. A construção iniciou-se a 28 de Julho de 1131, no local onde existiam os "banhos régios", então ainda fora dos muros defensivos da cidade, e a duas escassas centenas de metros da fronteira portuguesa com as terras islâmicas: o Rio Mondego. Se a fundação foi régia, não deixou de ser importante a acção junto do jovem Príncipe do Arcediago D. Telo e do Mestre-Escola D. João Peculiar. Logo no ano seguinte, São Teotónio foi eleito prior da comunidade religiosa, que contava já, em 1132, com setenta e dois membros. O projecto e direcção das obras devem ter estado a cargo do Mestre Roberto que, anos depois, edificaria também a Sé. Roberto terá planeado uma igreja de nave única, mas excepcionalmente forte, com três capelas de cada lado, igualmente abobadadas, e com os eixos perpendiculares à nave, servindo assim de gigantescos contrafortes. A cabeceira era tríplice, sendo a ábside bastante maior que os absidíolos. No topo contrário ficava um nartex-torre-defensiva da largura e comprimento da nave e com dois andares. Em épocas sucessivas, o aspecto das diversas dependências foi sendo alterado profundamente, nomeadamente na época do priorado de D. Pedro Gavião, durante o reinado de D. Manuel I. Em 1507 depois da visita deste Monarca, quando se deslocou em peregrinação a Santiago de Compostela, o templo e as dependências monásticas foram completamente transformadas; as obras só terminaram no reinado de D.

  • The Coimbra Course and the Definition of an Early Jesuit Philosophy
    Chapter 14 Manuel de Góis: The Coimbra Course and the Definition of an Early Jesuit Philosophy Mário S. de Carvalho 1 Introduction Manuel de Góis (1543–97) was the leading figure behind the well-known edito- rial enterprise entitled Coimbra Jesuit College Commentaries (cjcc), or Com- mentarii Collegii Conimbricensis Societatis Iesu.1 Published in Coimbra and Lisbon between 1592 and 1606, the eight volumes of the cjcc contain com- mentaries on Aristotle’s philosophy (commenting on Aristotle was a custom common to all sixteenth-century European universities and a duty within the Jesuits’ philosophical schools). Although usually known by the Latin formula “Conimbricensis,” which is derived from the majority of the titles that make up the cjcc, the name is slightly misleading given that other philosophical works were also printed in Coimbra (namely by members of the St. Benedict College) and because other Jesuit authors, such as António Cordeiro (c.1640–1722), for example, published their own Cursus philosophicus Conimbricensis.2 Góis joined the Society of Jesus on August 31, 1560 at the age of seventeen. After completing his philosophical and theological studies at the Jesuit Univer- sity of Évora, he taught Latin and Greek in the towns of Bragança, Lisbon, and Coimbra (1564–72). In 1574–78 and 1578–82, Góis taught two courses of philoso- phy at Coimbra.3 This experience may have acted as a catalyst to him assuming a prominent role in the cjcc, which also benefited from the contributions of three other Portuguese Jesuits. When Góis died, Cosme de Magalhães (d.1624) wrote an appendix to the volume on De anima, entitled Problems Related to the Five Senses, and Baltasar Álvarez (d.1630) wrote another appendix to the same volume, the Treaty on the Separated Soul.

  • Getting to Coimbra from Lisbon Airport by Train
    Getting to Coimbra From Lisbon airport By train: Take either the Aeroshuttle bus (CARRIS Nº96) (3,50 €) or a taxi (about 7 €) to Gare/Estação Oriente railway station (around a 5-minute ride). Trains run every hour from 6 am to 9 pm. The fastest service is provided by Alfa Pendular (22,50€ Turística class), which takes about 1,5 hours to Coimbra-B station, followed by Intercidades (inter-city service) (16,50 €), which takes almost 2 hours to the same station. By bus: Take either the Aeroshuttle bus (CARRIS Nº96) or a taxi (9 € or more, depending on time of day) to the Sete Rios bus terminal. From the bus terminal, there are frequent Rede Expressos coach services to Coimbra which take about 2,5 hours (13 €). The coach station in Coimbra (Estação Rodoviária RBL) is situated close to the city centre (10-15 minutes walk). Aeroshuttle bus: http://www.carris.pt/en/bus/96/ascendente/default/ Train: Comboios de Portugal (CP): http://www.cp.pt Bus: Rede Expressos: http://www.rede-expressos.pt/default.aspx From Porto airport The Francisco Sa Carneiro airport in Porto is 11 km away from the city, so getting a taxi from there to the railway station is quite expensive (20-25 €, with 20 per cent surcharge in the evenings and weekends). The easiest and less costly way will be to take the Metro, which is connected to the airport. The direction to it is signposted throughout the airport, so just follow the signs and take Line E (Violeta) from the airport to the Campanhã railway station.
