Bairro Alto Depart Lisbon fernando pessoa itinerary As an introduction to Lisbon’s Chiado and Baixa districts, the group was asked to independently trace the footsteps of the modern Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa, documenting through sketching the various residences, pracas, and cafes that comprised the stage-set for Pessoa’s pageant. ana tostões lectures On the morning of February 15th the group assembles on the second floor of Lisbon’s storied Gremio Literario, a small social club historically known as a condenser for Lisbon’s intellectual tableaux, for the first in a series of lectures delivered by a diverse group of local professionals and academics. Ana Tostoes, a historian, teacher and curator who specializes in Modern Portuguese Architecture speaks to us about Lisbon’s rich legacy of city planning initiatives focusing on their various ideological and historical impera- tives; from initial Enlightenment reconstruction and 19th century city beautiful movement, through fascism, modernism and now the post-industrial image industry that continues to lend the city its form. Ana’s lecture proved a valuable base narrative for Lisbon’s legible and remarkably varied urban sectors. joão gomes da silva lecture Joao Gomes De Silva, a local landscape architect, shifted the course of the discussion with a detailed presentation of one particular project, a tourist resort located on a remote island near the Bahamas. De Silva introduced the project explaining the drastic transformations the island must undergo in order to accommodate its invasive programs and how his firm had little interest in environmental preservation, nor in any 19th century conceptions of natural authenticity… This provocative stance led to the fabrica- tion of a series of sandy beach dunes creating a ‘new lagoon’ capable of accommodating an intensity of various developments on the island. De Silva’s approach fostered discussion amongst the students as to the appropriateness of deliberately changing the ecological composition of a given place. His international clientele and liberal attitude towards environmental alteration begin to suggest a new direction for Portuguese design culture. joão nunes lectures Joao Nunes, another Portuguese landscape architect (De silva’s nemesis and sometime collaborator) begins his dense and frenetic presentation with the assertion that “We Survive by changing our environment.” Nunes proceeded to sprint through a vast catalogue of projects many of international scope. Although difficult to find ones bearings within the flurry of diverse imagery, a certain attitude emerged from the presentation regarding the intervention of a design upon a certain site… As Nunes asserted in his closing, (paraphrasing) it is impos- sible to talk about objects, for every object interacts with the forces and systems that define its landscape. manuel graça dias lecture Manuel Graca Dias discussed his recently completed Teatro Municipal in the Lisbon suburb of Almada. Graca Dias presented the building’s development chronologically working from initial sketches all the way through design documents. Perhaps most interestingly about the presentation was the relentless pragmatism Dias exhibited while presenting and justifying the project. The theater’s form was dictated by building codes, its color by the foam-like material used in processmodels, while material was selected for its ‘cheapness’. Neverthe- less, the building exhibited an evocative poetic beauty that was far more than the sum of its parts. renee cheng lecture Renee Cheng, Director of Graduate Studies at CALA, presented
