    Brotherly love and filial obedience: the commemorative programme of the Avis princes at Santa Maria da Vitória, Batalha Begoña Farré Torras Dissertação de Mestrado em História da Arte Medieval Março 2014 Dissertação apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em História da Arte Medieval, realizada sob a orientação científica da Prof. Doutora Joana Ramôa Melo To Rogério And to every person who, knowingly or not, ever taught me anything ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the process of researching for and writing this dissertation, I have been fortunate to count on the support and practical help of a great many people, of which I would like to explicitly acknowledge at least a few. I am indebted to Professor Joana Ramôa Melo, my dissertation supervisor, for her thorough scholarly guidance within a much valued atmosphere of academic freedom, as well as for her encouragement, understanding and friendship. She has been assisted in her role by Professor José Custódio Vieira da Silva, dissertation co- supervisor, to whom I am particularly thankful for his intuitive suggestion, very early on in my research, of a potential patron for the object under study, which turned out to be the cornerstone of all the work presented here. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Pedro Redol and his team at the Monastery of Santa Maria da Vitória, Batalha, for their warm and professional welcome to the monument, granting me unlimited access to its facilities and archives, coupled with enthusiasm and support for my research project. A particular debt of gratitude is owed to Professor Miguel Metelo de Seixas, who most generously offered his time and precious knowledge on heraldry to enlighten me on this fascinating subject.

PAULA ANDRÉ*, TERESA MARAT-MENDES*, PAULO RODRIGUES** *Address: Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL), DINÂMIA’CET-IUL, Department of Architecture and Urbanism, Av. Das Forças Armadas, 1649-026 Lisboa. Portugal. **Address: CHAIA-Centro de História da Arte e Investigação Artística da Universidade de Évora, Apartado 94,7002-554 Évora. e-mail: [email protected] - [email protected] - [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper reviews the development of Costa do Sol, as planned by architect urbanist Alfred-Donat Agache, for Lisbon Region in Portugal. The Plano Expansão Região Oeste de Lisboa (1934-1936) prepared by Agache and requested by Portuguese Minister of Public Works, Duarte Pacheco will be analyzed. This paper aims also to identify the principles and the theoretical foundations that have determined Agache urban vision for Lisbon City and its Territory. Finally, this paper aims to demonstrate that Alfred-Donat Agache methodological framework has applied Frederick Le Play socio-economic scientific approach. Such approach has informed the construction of a ‘civic’ urbanism that will be identified and analyzed. Two main goals seem to have guided Agache work at Costa do Sol: (i) the fully urban analysis of the city, throughout its social, economic, geographic and urban conditions (past and present) and (ii) the need to expose such analysis to the city’s inhabitants. Finally, this paper demonstrates Costa do Sol proposal to testify a comprehensive understanding of three distinct scales: (i) the territory; (ii) the city; (iii) but also the urban form.
