In this issue of the Estudo Prévio jornal – number TWENTY-SEVEN – we published an interview with architect and professor João Belo Rodeia, professor at Da/Ual and a key figure in the teaching and history of architecture in Portugal.
We also published articles resulting from original research on contemporary national and international research topics: The Carnaxide Expansion Plan: A Reading of the Plan from the Perspective of Landscape Architecture, by Inês Norton de Matos, A Palace for a Baroque Urbanist / The Rhythm of Sant’Ambrogio. Casa Caccia Dominioni and Architecture as a Continuum, by Rebecca Billi, and The Landscape of Time, by Olga Konyukova.
This issue also includes a visual essay by Rogério Taveira and a book review by Madalena Romão Mira of the annotated translation of Joaquim Machado de Castro’s Analytical Description of the Execution of the Equestrian Statue Erected in Lisbon to the Glory of His Most Faithful Majesty King Joseph I, coordinated by Miguel Figueira de Faria and translated by Patricia Delayti.
“Architecture was not love at first sight. It was not a usual choice for those with no family connections to the architects’ environment, let alone for a boy from the small city of Leiria like me. Architecture emerged as inclusion of parts; I wanted to be archaeologist, I enjoyed History, I was drawn to buildings. And at one point, somewhat influenced by my mother, Architecture became a possibility. “
INÊS NORTON DE MATOS
“The landscape project was of structural importance at a time when newly trained landscape architects were flourishing in Portugal, and it asserted itself as a new typological model, marked by social concerns in a break with neoclassical design typologies.”
REBECCA BILLI
“This article aims to explore the approach to architecture in Milan during the post-war reconstruction period through an examination of the concepts of temporality, tradition, and the specific case of Casa Caccia Dominioni”
OLGA KONYUKOVA
“What is a landscape, still? Is it an image, a setting, a memory, a surface, a terrain? The term remains unstable—its meanings shifting across disciplines, languages and histories.”
ROGÉRIO TAVEIRA
“By granting visibility to the singularity of the faces and bodies that compose the heterogeneous fabric of a community engaged, in a socially committed public art process, the photographic work presented here positions itself as an integral part of the collective logic that structures participatory creation, rather than in opposition to it.”
MADALENA MIRA
“The Analytical Description of the Execution of the Equestrian Statue, published by Joaquim Machado dVVe Castro in 1810, is a rare and highly significant document within both Portuguese and European artistic contexts.”
