  • The Oregonian What's the Future for Fenced
    The Oregonian What's the Future for Fenced-off O'Bryant Square in Downtown Portland? Architects Offer Possibilities By Elliot Njus April 28, 2019 A Portland architecture firm is hoping to start a discussion about reopening downtown’s shuttered O’Bryant Square in the short term — and totally reimagining the plaza in the longer term. The park, which has in recent years become a popular hangout for food cart diners, has been closed since March 2018 after city transportation officials raised structural concerns about the underground parking garage it sits atop. That closure brought the park's rehabilitation to screeching halt. The lunch crowds were helping transform the square's long-held reputation as a place for drug use and other unsavory activity, which had earned it the nickname “Paranoid Park.” Hennebery Eddy Architects, whose office windows look down on the plaza, decided to take on the park as a pro bono project, imagining what redeveloped square might look like and also considering whether it could be safely reopened in the near term. The discussion was the subject of a Portland Design Week panel earlier this month. The square’s immediate neighborhood is changing dramatically. The food cart pod that’s made the park a lunchtime destination could go away if a massive hotel-condo-office tower moves ahead. At the same time, the hotel, and others nearby, would bring a new crowd of its own. Meanwhile, local food cart enthusiasts — with consultation from Hennebery Eddy — have proposed a “culinary corridor” that would extend to O’Bryant Square to replace the current food cart pod.

  • Agradecimentos É, De Facto, Uma Honra Baixar Em Palavras O Agradecimento a Nível Académico Ao Professor Doutor Manuel Frias M
    Agradecimentos É, de facto, uma honra baixar em palavras o agradecimento a nível académico ao Professor Doutor Manuel Frias Martins e, de salientar, à Professora Doutora Mentora Teresa Cadete. A nível mais intimo, Obrigado pelo regresso dos que nunca partiram. Por vós, Sou eu. 3 Resumo O mito, sendo trilho para as potencialidades espirituais da vida humana, funciona como mediação simbólica entre o sagrado e o profano, surgindo como guia que acalma os “espíritos” mais descontentes com a realidade, ajudando-os a curar a sua ferida de existência. Reflexo da contracultura dos anos 60 nos Estados Unidos da América, Jim Morrison, vocalista do grupo The Doors , quis, através da sua música e das suas palavras, libertar as pessoas que julgava estarem presas a uma conformidade de normas sexuais e sociais, desempenhando, assim, o papel de xamane. Jim viveu intensamente e morreu cedo. Uma carreira curta e poderosa, que o consolidou como lenda viva, herói trágico. Analisando a complexidade do seu ser, verifica- se que reactualizou mitos ancestrais ao representar histórias de deuses e de heróis titânicos, tais como Dioniso, Édipo e Prometeu. Surge, assim, o mito do eterno retorno através da repetição de arquétipos. Numa cronologia sem tempo, contendo, porém, uma tonalidade nebulosa, Jim Morrison permanece no âmbito do eterno, remetendo para um tempo que não é histórico, mas cíclico. O mito de Jim Morrison perdura através da sua poesia, da sua música, da sua sepultura, da sua incessante audiência. Palavras-chave: Jim Morrison – Xamane – Herói Trágico - Mito 4 Abstract The myth, path for the spiritual potentialities of human life, acts as a symbolic mediation between the sacred and the profane, emerging as a guide that calm down the "spirits" more dissatisfied with the reality and help them to heal their wound of existence.
