Outside the category
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2014) Bang, Jacob Sebastian; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
It is a recurring theme in my research to establish collections of study models and to find ways of decoding, transforming and representing them in drawings and as new models. The models are “outside the category”: pure form and architectural potential -“prior to an idea”. To become architectural ideas, they must be decoded in drawings in order to be dissolved into architectural signs and rules.
Planeamento urbano sustentável : processo operativo
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2007) Amado, Miguel José das Neves Pires; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
A presente comunicação pretende dar um contributo para as acções de planeamento urbano, estabelecendo um processo operativo que enquadre essas acções são desenvolvidas no sentido da estratégia delineada sob os princípios do desenvolvimento sustentável. Pretende-se que este processo seja aplicável às acções de planeamento de novas áreas urbanas ou as existentes a reconverter. O processo que se apresenta foi desenvolvido com base no quadro teórico existente do planeamento territorial e ambiental, sendo-Ihe acrescida a contribuição resultante da prática profissional. O processo aferido através da sua aplicação a prática, determinou quais os fac- tores essenciais de operacionalidade e eficácia na promoção dos objectivos definidos. A observação dos objectivos e estratégia de sustentabilidade e realizada através de critérios que influenciam a concepção da proposta com uma base operativa de aplicação do processo. De salientar que dos factores considerados determinantes no processo, todos eles contribuem para garantir a participação e dinamização da população nas diferentes fases do desenvolvimento e implementação da acção de planeamento. Não obstante a operacionalidade verificada com a utilização deste processo, é possível afirmar que o número de dados a tratar na etapa 2 do mesmo, exige que exista uma coordenação eficaz de modo a que não possa ocorrer uma realização de esforços superiores ao necessário ou uma produtividade reduzida. Concluiu-se que, o processo operativo estabelecido, garante a promoção dos princípios do desenvolvimento sustentável como estratégia principal nas acções de transformação do uso do solo, qualquer que seja o nível de intervenção no território.
For from design and through design and for design are all things
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2014) Sequeira, Marta; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
Academic research in architecture has mainly become a theoretical activity driven away from its subject’s core, focusing in complementary fields. Analytical investigations are common – concerning historical character, theoretical, constructive or technological – as well as propositional thesis – mainly regarding construction and technology. Yet, you can find much investigation in this scientific area, which find its significance in other domains. However, project-based theses in architecture, in which there are no antagonism or exclusion between theory and practice but rather promote complementarity, are quite scarce. This paper aims to answer the question that seems natural and consistent with the above scenario: how can we define a new paradigm, in which architecture would be understood and portrayed as a system for producing and spreading knowledge?
The suburban shoppingscape and the reconfiguration of urban ideals
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2013) Daborn, Shirley; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
This paper looks at how the mid-twentieth century suburban shopping center created a pseudo-public space specifically tailored to attract women in their role as the primary shopper. Driven by the demands of a changing urban landscape retail developers combined urban ideals with modern materials and technology to create a shoppingscape that ideologically merged community values with notions of progress. The crisp, clean lines of modern design, paired with the practical delights of childcare facilities, cafes and a women’s lounge area re-presented a mix of city ideals and excitement with the familiarity and comfort of community facilities. Rather than displacing traditional city characteristics and activities, the suburban shopping center combined old and new development concepts to produce a new environment founded on principles of accessibility and comfort.
O espaço sagrado e os jardins iniciáticos da Quinta da Regaleira
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2010) Anes, José Manuel; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
A Quinta da Regaleira é um espaço simbólico sagrado que apresenta nos seus jardins, por um lado referências ao Cristianismo, e a certas Fraternidades iniciáticas e, por outro, referências ao Paganismo, às antigas religiões de Mistérios, à literatura clássica (particularmente à Divina Comédia de Dante). Podemos detectar nela percursos de iniciação, constituídos por poços, subterrâneos, grutas, lagos, os quais estão centrados no tema da "morte e ressurreição", no caminho das Trevas para a Luz.
Os primeiros arquitectos conhecidos e o seu legado
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2010) Tavares, António Augusto; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
Neste estudo sobre os primórdios da arquitectura, indicamos os nomes de dezassete arquitectos da Antiguidade pré-clássica (Egipto e Mesopotâmia) e da Antiguidade Clássica (Grécia e Roma). Apontam-se as suas obras de referência, salientando, quando for o caso, as suas inovações. Alguns exemplos: o uso da pedra e da forma escalonada da pirâmide Imohtep em Sacara; o uso de colunas proto-dóricas pelo arquitecto Senmut em Deir-el-Bahari; a utilização do arco e da abóbada no palácio de Domiciano em Roma pelo arquitecto Rabirio, etc. No legado destes primórdios da arquitectura são dignas de registo várias técnicas que perduram até ao presente: a iluminação clerestórica do templo de Karnak (muito utilizada nas catedrais góticas medievais); a "entasis" que foi usada por Calícrates no Partenon em Atenas e usada na arquitectura renascentista; a quadrícula de Hipódamo de Mileto como prática urbanística frequente.
From retail polarities to superplaces new tools to understand recent transformations in retail Geography in Italy : The Assago (Mi) Case
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2013) Morandi, Corinna; Paris, Mario; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
Over the past century in the theories of central places shops and services have been significant features of the traditional core of the city. But the localization strategies of large retailing chains have changed: moving from the city to the metropolitan - or post-metropolitan – space. For this reason some of the interpretative categories we usually deal with have to be updated. This paper is aimed at explaining the relevance of the concept of commercial polarities to understand the transformations in the retail formats and in their localization and at focusing on some exceptional “superplaces”. This research could be the key to comprehend the double role of those polarities – product and producer of changes - in the contemporary metropolitan areas.
A gestão do ciclo da água nos aglomerados populacionais : suas limitações

Analisa-se a evolução da distribuição de água e da drenagem das águas residuais, em Portugal, desde o domínio romano até aos dias de hoje. Faz-se o enquadramento institucional das entidades gestoras de distribuição de água e de drenagem de águas residuais, analisando-se os diferentes tipos de gestão possíveis, quantificando-se os já existentes, bem como as suas limitações. Relaciona-se os diferentes tipos de entidades gestoras com o número de clientes que servem dentro de um contexto regional. Perspectiva-se o papel futuro do cidadão/cliente no âmbito da gestão das entidades responsáveis pelo serviço universal de distribuição de água.
Amazon the rural shopping center—from a temporary business model to a spatial impact : a backstage landscape
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2013) Pfanzelt, Alexander; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
The distribution of goods in the world of Amazon is well known through their “1 click-order”. The reason, why more and more shops in this areas shut down. The today's market square is virtual and only one click away. Delivered the next day by DHL or UPS. This project will focus on a side effect of this system. In november and december 2012 during Christmas shopping the distribution centers have to be enormously enlarged with labor. For the hub in Graben around 3500 extra workers are needed for a period of 6 weeks. All of them are temporary workers, mostly students from all over the world, which come to Germany during this time. With this research the side effect of the organization system of a logistic hub will be shown. The transfer of people will be mapped and the impact on the rural places will be shown. They create a new type of landscape, called backstage landscape.
Lisbon Shopping Scape - The urban dimension of the Lisbon commercial spaces. 1970-2010
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2013) Allegri, Alessia; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
This is a study of commercial spaces, focusing on the exploration of the existing relationship between the urban shapes and the design of commercial spaces. The planning of commercial activities cannot limit itself to purely economic and management dimensions, but should be central to any debate on the city. This inquiry contributes to illuminate the mechanisms of production of city and commercial systems that can be either mutually reinforcing or mutually negating. Our interpretation of the relationship between the commercial spaces and the city is based on the taxonomic study of commercial models that characterised Lisbon from 1970 to 2010. This analysis of its recent commercial history has led to the definition of three macro-categories of commercial systems that illustrate three types of relationships between the city and its commercial dimension: symbiotic, commensal, and parasitic.
Architecture & Research : a possible structure
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2011) Sequeira, João Meneses; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
This article results from three conferences organized by the research project titled “Architectural research framework” developed by the research center Architectural Lab – LabART – of the Lusófona University, and also by my personal experiences and dialogs with other members of the EAAE research committee. Architectural research always existed, but only recently some major questions have emerged, by the time that Europe started the last universitary reform on the 80’s. Two aspects are crucial in understanding the problematic that we are referring to. On the one hand we verify that the architectural teaching should maintain the articulation and close relationship between the theoretical and practical aspects. On the other hand, there is a need to confer academic degrees, as the MsC and PhD’s in the Faculties of Architecture. Inevitably, discussions began about the scientificity of architecture (its grounding), the types of research, methodological models, as well as on the evaluation criteria and the quality of research, or the relevance of the results. We will try to approach some of these discussions, and by the end, establish a basic structure that allows us to obtain an open model for research in architecture.
Material experimentation in Peter Zumthor’s creative process : research design through material inquiry
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2014) Ventura, Susana; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
Material experimentation in Peter Zumthor’s creative process seeks to explain the different materials experimentations present in the creative process of Peter Zumthor which lead him to the final work of architecture, resulting in his atmospheres.Experimentation processes are mainly characteristic of avant-garde architectures that develop new forms of thought in architecture design, however mainly through form paradigms and models. Nonetheless, Zumthor has been inquiring and creating experimental processes through material composition, rooted in the work of land artists such as Joseph Beuys or Mario Merz, that imply the overall design of the final work of architecture. The present paper explain several experimental processes present in a series of Peter Zumthor’s works, with an important focus to the design process of the Serpentine Summer Pavilion during 2011, one of the works the author has accompanied Zumthor during its process of creation during her PhD research.
The Bazaar in the spring : public space and the Modern Gulf City
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2013) El Amrousi, Mohamed; Odeh, Maha; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
Traditional shoppingscapes that characterized many Islamic cities known as the souk/bazaar constructed spaces in the city that specialized centres of production, and exchange, commonly depicted as spaces of socio-cultural interaction accessible to all. However, these spaces of consumption became tamed with the advent of the modern city and the department store, they became more institutionalized, homogenised and tourist/souvenir oriented. Changes in urban planning policies, societies and civil lives of its citizens allowed malls to expand as spaces of inclusion and exclusion to certain social groups, their success affected the morphology of the Souk which still remains present in the modern Gulf city as a space of interaction and exchange of cheap goods, fruits and vegetables. Devouring any form of public space in the city, planners and policy makers gradually exchange any form of public space with contemporary shoppingscapes. This paper examines shoppingscapes of the contemporary Arab/Gulf city by tracing the development of souk/bazaar genealogy and examining the socio-cultural drift that created such change. It also intends to investigate the notion of public space and its diminishing role in the Gulf cities.
Learning from actor network theory : bridging the gap between research in science and research by design
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2014) Bradbury, Simon; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
This paper explores how an alternative understanding of the development ofscientific knowledge through the work of Bruno Latour can help to bridge the gapbetween knowledge produced through practice-based research and conventionalresearch outputs.The paper reviews the history of the debate of what constitutes practice-basedresearch outputs drawing from the work of Frayling (1993) and Archer (1995). Anunderstanding of practice-based research is developed that goes beyond a simplisticview of a building or artefact as a research output or “mute object” (Till 2012).This is considered in the context of the work of Bruno Latour (1987, 2005) and otherswho have tried to show how the construction of scientific facts is produced as afunction of both the ‘objects’ and ‘social’ context of science.Through reviewing practice-based research submissions from RAE 2008 the paperexplores how we may re-conceive both the normative models of research outputs(peer reviewed academic papers) and the products of architecture practice (buildingsand artefacts) and conceive them both as part of the same network of knowledgeproduction. This is then discussed in the practical context of a practice-based research project into low energy housing.In doing so the paper suggest this new understanding will elevate the importance ofrigorous practice-based research while overcoming the challenges faced inconventional research in the constant desire to show impact from research projects.
Research by Design—situating practice-based research as part of a tradition of knowledge production, exemplified through the works of le Corbusier
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2014) Hauberg, Jørgen; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
Research by design concerns the various ways in which design and research are generallyinterconnected in the production of new knowledge through the act of designing.This paper discusses the role and value of research by design especially through theworks of Le Corbusier. It seeks to demonstrate, how the development of types andprograms contributes to theory building in architectural research. Le Corbusier’s developmentof a constructive system (from the Dom-ino houses to an actual skeletonframe), a dwelling type (from Maison Citrohan to universal block of flats) and a citymodel(from a City of Three Million Inhabitants to a Linear Industrial City) representsa reflective practice through which architectural theory is developed in direct engagementwith the basic media of architecture: objects, sketches, diagrams, notationsand texts.The paper suggests that work like Le Corbusier’s, although never intended as research,demonstrates a hybrid practice between design and theory, which reachesbeyond the single projects and unique piece of work, and contributes to theory buildingthrough research by design.The paper presents building types – examples and proposals developed by the author.The intention is to illustrate a combined practice of investigating architecture’shistory and theory with designing, and is presented as examples of research bydesign.
Arquitectura y Procesos Culturales
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2012) Lobos, Jorge; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
El concepto de Arquitectura Cultural, es un intento de avanzar en la formulación de un cuerpo teórico, que haga conscientes los particulares valores humanos de cada territorio, en la producción del proyecto arquitectónico. Esta idea plantea la posibilidad que el arquitecto logre una mayor comprensión de estos valores culturales, para transformarlos en una herramienta útil al momento de actuar en la nueva complejidad creciente de la ciudad y poder expresar las diversas sensibilidades y visiones de mundo de los ciudadanos en el siglo XXI. Parafraseando al movimiento moderno que sentenció “…LA FORMA SIGUE A LA FUNCION…” Hoy podríamos decir “… LA FORMA SIGUE A LA CULTURA…” O en otras palabras, la arquitectura no es tan solo un problema de forma física, es más bien un problema de forma social.
Sobre a fundamentação da Arquitectura : reflexões sobre uma crise
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2010) Sequeira, João Meneses; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
Este texto foi apresentado, na sua versão em inglês, na Third EAAE-ENHSA Sub- network Workshop on Architectural Theory. Havendo hoje necessidade de reflectir sobre o âmbito das investigações disciplinares em Arquitectura, este texto procurará lançar a questão da fundamentação na Arquitectura. Ao fazê-lo, não o faz no sentido de questionar a validade do seu objecto, mas antes procurando conferir-lhe alguns contornos. Para tal usa os seis conceitos lançados por Vitrúvio acerca da constituição da Arquitectura, procurando, por etapas pré-determinadas, encontrar o significado das suas transformações. Verificamos aqui que da Antiguidade aos nossos dias a Arquitectura sofreu uma verdadeira inversão no seu papel mediador. De uma mediação entre o sagrado e o profano, a Arquitectura passa, paulatinamente, por se constituir como elemento mediador entre um objecto físico natural e o sujeito, até se constituir como mediação entre um sistema sintáxico autónomo a uma autoconsciência.
From architecturology to architecturological research
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2011) Lecourtois, Caroline; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
This paper presents a genesis of the French research field of Architecturology, from its creation to the current researches developed from it, at ARIAM-LAREA (National School of Architecture of Paris-la-Villette Laboratory of modeling for computer aids of cognitive activity of conception). Architecturology has been thought at the creation of French Schools of Architecture that has been initiated with the French movement of 1968 May. Its major aim is to build specific knowledge on architecture for learning architecture. The first book of the beginnings of this scientific field is “Sur l’espace architectural” written by Ph. Boudon and published in 1971. It’s currently constituted with a scientific systemic language and a paradigm that help to explain cognitive activity of design named by it, conception. This scientific language has been published in “Enseigner la conception architecturale: cours d’architecturologie” written by Ph. Boudon, Ph. Deshayes, F. Pousin and F. Shatz, and published in 1994 and in 2000, in “Echelle(s)” published in 2002 and which gathers different articles of Ph. Boudon and, in different articles of the team of LAREA - Ph. Boudon, Ph. Deshayes, F. Pousin, F. Shatz and C. Lecourtois. From this scientific language and the paradigm of Architecturology, I develop methods for extending the field of knowledge of this point of view by doing researches in architecture. These methods are gathered into the concept of Applied Architecturology. In 2005, LAREA has merged with a research team interested in Computer Aided Design, named ARIAM. To create ARIAM-LAREA, we have built a new research program on Computer Aided Conception where we use Applied Architecturology for 1) producing new knowledge on implications of Computer in cognitive activity of design and 2) developing new software to Support some operations of conception. This paper exposes my current research work and three theses that I co-lead at ARIAMLAREA on this object.
Research by design in architecture : an approach into the exploratory research phase
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2014) Almeida, Maria Rita Pais Ramos Abreu de; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
In the scope of design, research has been a difficult issue to respond to the real necessities throughout the process of thinking. Even the “design” word is meant to beused in several different fields of knowledge and practice (from industrial design,computation systems to architecture).Concerning Research by Design (RbD), there is a sense of vagueness, both in terms ofmethodology and aims. That’s the result of its own essence: design is the result of a big creative endeavour and research is focused in concrete results due to certain questions or problems.Focusing in the architecture discipline, RbD is commonly the most used work methodology.In this sense, we can say that there are so many RbD as many architects and architecture students in the world. So can we improve this kind of research and take it to another level, integrating it into the field of the so called traditional research? The purpose of this paper is to understand more about the “exploratory phase” in theRbD approach. This phase is based in data and collected information as well as individual experience. This paper tries to understand and improve the critical thinking implicit in the “exploratory research”. This critical thinking is linked to certain “strategic questions” and “operational links” that guide the researcher into a more understandable research practice. The final aim is to lead the RbD to a more sustained internal validity (satisfactory conclusions among the variables experimented) andexternal validity (generalise the findings to an appropriate community).
Le concept de modèle dans l’enseignement de la conception architecturale
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2012) Kadi, Hayet; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
As architectural design cannot be satisfied for its own knowledge, it requires a conceptual work, which can be interpreted as "design concepts", and can only be formulated through a modeling; architecturologic scale is regarded here, as a design operator. This study clarify how can architecturology understand the cognitive mechanisms of the design from graphic expression taken as supports for indicial signs of architectural labor. To respond to the need of combining living and creation spaces, Le Corbusier approached the design of the artist’s house, through the metaphor of tools. By proceeding to a modeling reading, we shall try to bring out a conceptual model that may solve the problem. The purpose is an essential component of a model, since it conditions the way the modeler is going to select the elements of reality, he deems relevant to answer the question on one hand, and build relationships between these elements on the other. To understand the design process leading to the artist's house, we thus suggest analyzing the put problem by means of architecturologic scales. The proposed answer (or program) will be tested on a second building to evaluate its relevance.
