Women's absence from the public sphere: Gender inequality in Portuguese archite...

In Portugal, public university architecture courses have originally been designed by men and for men. The female universe is left out of the curricula and women are kept away from the top positions in the academic hierarchy. Should the presence of women be regulated? Is it possible to change the course of history? The cases of Lisbon, Coimbra, and Porto inform this paper’s discussion, which dwells on the analys...

Between the musseque and the neighbourhood unit: Spotting "compagnons de route"...

Taking full advantage of Nnamdi Elleh's proposal, by seeking to "keep the focus on the modern" (2014), this article explores how during the late colonial period in the city of Luanda, Angola, conditions arose to link the future of architectures with unequal roots. On the one hand, an architecture strongly qualified and praised by the historiography of modern architecture, which would result in the Prenda Neighb...

Decentralising the core: Notes on middle class mass housing in Portugal

The impetus for mass housing complexes was entirely linked to the expansion of Portuguese cities to the periphery. This process overlapped with the aspirations of a heterogenous middle class – on the one hand, those who could not fnd in the sought living conditions in the historical city; and on the other, those who could not a ford to settle in the centre. The text focuses on neighbourhoods developed in Lisbon...

Shrinking the plan. A middle-class wishful thinking in the outskirts of Lisbon

In the 1960s and 1970s, large-scale Portuguese architectural production was largely promoted by the State. This took further aspects after the 1974 revolution when housing construction became one of the pillars of the new state policy. It is in this context that Manuel Vicente develops the project for Quinta do Bacalhau in different times: 1– Before 1974 by EPUL as part of UNOR 26 of which M. Vicente was the co...

Team 10, Lisbon, 1981. The lost meeting

Team 10 and Lisbon share a piece of history: namely, a few elements of Team 10, such as Alison and Peter Smithson, Amâncio Miranda Guedes, Giancarlo de Carlo and Jullian de la Fuente, and the Lisbon School of Architecture (or the “Lisbon School”). This text is about the specifics of this conjunction. This paper explores the short but necessary question of whether there was a last formal Team 10 meeting in Lisbo...

Produção sustentável de Chlorella e utilização de biomassa enriquecida na formu...

As microalgas são consideradas como um dos melhores super alimentos. De entre elas, destacam-se algumas espécies de Chlorella, cujo consumo tem efeitos benéficos nos sistemas imunitário e gastrointestinal, e na prevenção de doenças cardiovasculares, diabetes e anemia (Nuño et al., 2013; Yamaguchi, 1996). Estes microrganismos são capazes de converter fontes de carbono orgânico (e.g. açúcares, ácido acético) e/ou...

High-Content Analysis of Breast Cancer Using Single-Cell Deep Transfer Learning

High-content analysis has revolutionized cancer drug discovery by identifying substances that alter the phenotype of a cell, which prevents tumor growth and metastasis. The high-resolution biofluorescence images from assays allow precise quantitative measures enabling the distinction of small molecules of a host cell from a tumor. In this work, we are particularly interested in the application of deep neural ne...

Recording the optimistic. An audiovisual approach to the city of Lisbon by its ...

With the revolution of 25 April 1974, Portugal initiated a unique cultural journey that paralleled, in the architectural field, the questioning of the modern movement that occurred since the aftermath of World War II. The academic context was a particular mirror for this criticism. The director of the Lisbon architecture course pronounced its engagement in “a sort of counter-culture”; the cultural critique that...
