3D printed devices to avoid hand contact with commonly shared surfaces

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, public spaces had to be quickly adapted to the new circumstances especially under the uncertainty of the pandemic development. Door handles are some of the most touched surfaces and so, this point of contagion was chosen to be tackled and two solutions were developed that would prevent direct touch with the handle: a portable and a fixed device. The portable device (HYHO...

An unlikely catalogue of the production of azulejos by Fabrica Roseira of Lisbo...

In the second half of the nineteenth century the Roseira factory in Lisbon was one of the most important manufacturers of façade tiles used both in Portugal and in Brazil. “Casa das Bolas”, a condominium building in Lisbon informally named after the glazed tiles decorated with spherical elements in trompe l'oeil of its ground-floor façade, was owned by a member of the Roseira family who erected it using parts o...

Ouro sobre o azul(ejo)

In documents from the 16th and 17th centuries we can read sometimes the expression “golden azulejos”. This is a matter that azulejo historians never fully studied but which raises interesting questions. Sometimes this expression could be related to azulejos in the “lusterware” technique, a secretive and complex process which allowed the ceramic surfaces to be decorated with gold and copper metallic shine. Anoth...

Portuguese Azulejos, World Heritage

Few forms of artistic expression capture the nature and the way of life of the Portuguese as the azulejo does. Manufactured and used in other countries, sometimes with superior technical quality, some aspects, however, impart to the way it was and still is used in Portugal an unparalleled originality since the first batches, imported from Andalusia in the late fifteenth century, to the present day when it is us...

Graça Church revisited

The important set of azulejos that can be seen today in the ante-sacristy of the Graça Church, in Lisbon, dated from between circa 1565 (year when the building of the new complex was finished) and 1580, is probably one of the most relevant indications of a local production of azulejos in the faience technique during the 2nd half of the 16th century. In the course of a research conducted to determine the origin ...

Envolvimento Emocional Inicial dos Pais com o Bebé

Resumo Embora a vinculação da criança aos pais tenha sido largamente investigada, a vinculação dos pais à criança está praticamente por estudar. A ideia de que o envolvimento emocional dos pais é uma circunstância determinante para a qualidade da interacção e dos cuidados que providenciam, e, por consequência, um factor que influencia o desenvolvimento da criança, tem sido contudo amplamente divulgada na litera...

Azulejo blues – an analytical study of the blue colours in portuguese azulejos

This communication reviews the main variants of the blue colour found on glazed tiles (mainly of Portuguese manufacture) used in Portugal from the 16th to the late 18th centuries and discusses the composition of the pigments from which they result.

As primeiras fachadas azulejadas de Lisboa

Para uma revolução tão importante em termos de conceito de aplicação como foi a colocação de azulejos nas fachadas de edifícios no século XIX, deste modo alterando decisivamente a percepção do espaço citadino no que diz respeito à estética e luminosidade, pouco se conhece dos aspectos que conduziram a esta opção que mesmo para a mentalidade actual pode ser considerada muito ousada. O seu entendimento é tanto ma...

Multi-analytical identification of pigments and pigment mixtures used in 17th c...

A multi-analytical approach was used to study the pictorial layers of a set of 17th century historic glazed tiles (azulejos) of Portuguese manufacture. The pictorial layer was studied by μ-EDXRF, μ-Raman, SEM-EDS and OM. Although the established palette comprises few pigments, it was found that the tiles were enhanced by the use of pigment mixtures, which were identified by μ-Raman and μ-EDXRF. As expected, the...
