Modern Architecture and Local Tradition in 1950`S Portuguese National Inns (Pousadas de Portugal)

Publication . OLIVEIRA, Tiago Cardoso de

The first plan of Pousadas de Portugal was promoted in the context of the celebrations of 1940`s centenary of national independence and was integrated in the "policy of the spirit" led by António Ferro, who considered the interior of the country as the natural environment of the highest national qualities. The projects were mostly designed by Miguel Jacobetty Rosa and Rogério de Azevedo, architects born at the turn of the 19th century, who, despite evidence of syntactic experiences of modernist inspiration, explore figures linked to the model of the Portuguese house developed by Raul Lino In 1954, the second plan maintains the legal framework created for the former, where it is stated that the inns to be constructed were to be integrated as far as possible into the picturesque of the regions. However, the architects now assigned to to carry out the projects were born in the late 10s and early 20s, and were part of the so-called "modern generation" that attended the 1948 congress as students or newly graduated. In fact within this generation of architects we can identify different concerns about architecture, some of them engaged in developing the modern agenda that they felt was not yet sufficiently accomplished in Portugal, and others more concerned with the concrete conditions of each specific situation and their poetic appreciation. Nevertheless, all of them rejected the model of the Portuguese house that was still favoured by Portuguese authorities. This paper proposes to discuss these different concerns, and thus to ponder on the local reception of the Modern Movement, by comparing two projects for the second plan of Pousadas de Portugal, one by Ruy Athouguia in Nazaré, which was never built, and other by Manuel Taínha in Oliveira do Hospital that had to wait several years to be constructed.

The disintegration of the urban limits of Lisbon in the early 1960’s. Portuguese architectural debate about exclusion and the importance of the historic city

Publication . Correia, Nuno

In the early s, the uncontrolled growth of the suburban areas of Lisbon invading peripheral territory, was destroying the definition of its urban limits. At that moment, a new generation of Portuguese modern architecture, identifies two key-problems in the growth of the city. First, the uncontrolled expansion of its periphery, transformed into a suburb, and second, the permanent destruction of the integrity of the centre, caused by the unTualified replacement of old buildings by new ones. But this debate had two different dimensions ± a dimension of urban design and a social one. 2n the urban design dimension, it was urgent to review some of the principles of modern planning and to recover the permanent urban values of the historic city. But on the social dimension, the architects of the new generation unconditionally adopted the modern principles expressed in the Athens Charter, and demanded the right of the population to housing and to inhabit the city.
