  • Transformations to Lisbon's Terreiro Do Paço
    URBAN TRANSFORMATION: CONTROVERSIES, CONTRASTS and CHALLENGES TRANSFORMATIONS TO LISBON’S TERREIRO DO PAÇO DIANE BRAND Address: School of Architecture Victoria University of Wellington NEW ZEALAND Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT After a devastating earthquake, tsunami and fire in 1755, Lisbon’s Terreiro do Paço, or Palace Square, was transformed by the Marquis of Pombal into a state of the art 18th century urban space called Praça do Comércio This paper looks at the configuration and use of this space from the 16th to the 18th century, tracing customary, ceremonial and institutional events, with particular reference to the role of ephemeral architecture in reconfiguring the space’s relationship to either river or land. An analysis of the paintings in Lisbon’s Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino (Navy Archives), Museu da Cidade de Lisboa (City Museum of Lisbon) and the Muesu Nacional dos Coches (National Coach Museum) shows the square transitioned over two centuries from a space fully engaging the Tagus to a condition that captured the space and engaged it with the reconstructed city quarter behin. INTRODUCTION The paper aims to show how, over several centuries, the Terreiro do Paço has transitioned from a space where customary uses have fully engaged the River, to a condition where the space has been reclaimed by the city beyond. This transition had as much to do with various institutional presences as it did with the ephemeral structures which graced the space during state occasions and sought to re-orient the square towards either city or sea. A range of ceremonial and institutional occasions will be examined, including royal and religious processions, autos da fé and commercial exchange.

  • Jaderin Bespoke PORTUGAL
    jaderin Bespoke PORTUGAL June 15 -22 2019 Trip Notes by Joan Mahony Painting by trip participant Tan Lim Heng Painting by trip participant Tan Lim Heng The 2019 trip to Portugal by the 26 lucky Jaderin members had been planned since the previous Jaderin trip to Naoshima in December 2017. With the invaluable help of Maria Pereira de Melo Antunes (Jaderin overseas member who lives in Portugal), Patricia Chiu (Jaderin’s administrator) and Joan Foo Mahony (the erstwhile Portugal enthusiast having been to Portugal at least 5 times) got cracking to ensure that Jaderin’s Portugal Bespoke trip will be unforgettable. And, it was! Portugal is a big country blessed with great weather; the waters of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean; fabulous Port wines; scenic countryside; historic castles; medieval cities; interesting culture and food; and a friendly people to match the warmth of the Portuguese sunshine. Our trip started in Lisbon on 15th June and ended in Porto on 22nd June, a distance of around 330 km as the crow flies. But we did this leisurely, driving first north-westwards towards Obidos and Coimbra; and then north and due west along the grand vistas of the Douro Valley to Porto. 1 LISBON JUNE 15 Saturday The Lisbon visit started with the most delicious lunch at the elegant and traditional fine dining restaurant GAMBRINUS at the pedestrians only Rossio Square. There, Jaderin members had its first taste of the ‘very long lunch! We had fabulous prawns followed by a gigantic seafood risotto washed down with lots of Portuguese wine (more on Portuguese wine later) and dessert.

  • PRESS RELEASE Plátano Do Rossio Eleito a Árvore Portuguesa Do Ano 2021
    PRESS RELEASE Plátano do Rossio Eleito a Árvore Portuguesa do Ano 2021 Lisboa, 26 de novembro de 2020 – Foi hoje conhecido o vencedor do concurso nacional. Os portugueses escolhem o Plátano do Rossio como a Árvore Portuguesa do ano de 2021. Plantado em 1838, o ex-libris de Portalegre ganhou o Concurso Árvore Portuguesa do ano 2021 com 2.401 votos, seguido da Oliveira de Mouchão, de Santarém, que contou com 2.213 votos e da Schotia do Jardim Botânico da Ajuda, em Lisboa, com 1.883 votos. O Plátano do Rossio é o maior plátano da Península Ibérica. De porte majestoso, guarda em si, nas suas longas e robustas pernadas, anos e anos de memórias coletivas e segredos infindáveis. Há muito que é lugar de encontros e reencontros, e ali nasceram clubes, associações e bandas filarmónicas. Não dá para ficar indiferente ao carinho especial que os portalegrenses sentem por este monumento vivo. De impressionante resiliência, continua a pasmar admiradores, a ouvir desabafos de solitários e a inspirar artistas atendendo à sua singularidade estética, à sua importância botânica e comunitária. Ao contrário do que aconteceu nas edições anteriores em que os Portugueses premiaram exemplares arbóreos característicos dos sistemas produtivos agro-florestais – os montados e os soutos, pela primeira vez neste concurso nacional foi eleita uma árvore ornamental, exótica em Portugal e que foi provavelmente introduzida por gregos ou romanos que a utilizavam devido à sua sombra. O Plátano do Rossio é assim, o eleito para representar Portugal no concurso europeu Tree of the Year. Durante o mês de fevereiro de 2021, todos poderão escolher a sua árvore preferida a nível Europeu através de um sistema de votação on-line.

  • Discover Lisbon with Our Guide!
    The 7th Conference of European Survey Research Association welcomes you to the fashionable city of Lisbon! Lisbon, the most westerly capital in mainland Europe, is one of the few cities in the world to offer a unique natural landscape. It’s for sure one of the most impressively located, with a series of hills facing the Tejo estuary, one of the sunniest and probably one of the least expensive cities to discover. Being a city built on hills, from the various belvederes, installed in the highest points, can enjoy breathtaking views. We highlight the castle of S. Jorge, where we reach the cacilheiros in their crossing to the south bank, the 25th April bridge, Rossio, Carmo convent, Bairro Alto, Eduardo VII park, among other points of the city. Alongside the old city, with a very rich heritage, Lisbon is also a modern city that has been renewed in new cultural and leisure proposals.
