Authors: Costa Agarez, Ricardo
Abstract: In the first half of the 20th century, the Algarve’s built-environment singularities were useful in both Estado Novo nationalistic constructs and Portuguese architectural modernism’s project; but what was the role of local agency and politics in the process? This paper focuses on the fishing and canning-industry town of Olhão: a unique “Moorish-like” townscape made to represent the entire region in state propaganda, its presumed traditional features were translated into government infrastructure programmes, from low-budget housing to school building. Yet this was not merely a top-down construct: questioning superficial assertions of the reach of central dictums on regional style, I investigate the role of local actors in creating, supporting and sometimes resisting their building customs to offer a more comprehensive reading of the politics of tradition in a specific context.2018-09-30T23:00:00ZProgetto as a themeRocha, JoãoSoares, JoãoSa, Jorgehttp://hdl.handle.net/10174/235312018-10-04T14:24:26Z2018-05-23T23:00:00ZTitle: Progetto as a theme

Abstract: “Progetto, one of the words we often use. But what is the really meaning of this word? [M. Cacciari 06.58]. The necessity of an embodiment of progetto is thus pursued at our Design Studios, on both Master and PhD levels.
The act of travelling along the territory as a method to create an architectural memory and to find new themes that could give other meanings to the progetto. What is really important is to have a good pair of boots which can takes us wherever we want [D. Belo 1:18:19].
This timeless poetic of space finds also echoes in Carrilho da Graça´s words, I do an enormous effort to rationalize reality, but with the consciousness that is almost an impossible task, [JLCG 21.15].
To position an architectural reflection and critical discourse within this context is giving to progetto a form of ethical responsibility, a reevaluation of heritage and of landscape use and at the same time, to include its values in our contemporary thought.”2018-05-23T23:00:00ZGetting Over Modernity.
