Manipulations in the abstract space
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2014) Schurk, Holger; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
At the centre of the examinations presented here are the interaction processes taking place at the interface between theory and form in the design process effectuated by means of intermediate media – most of all drawings – in the sphere of geometry. A decisive role is assigned to abstraction, allowing to locate graphic representations at the threshold between the projection of a structural model and the notation of an imagined model. A graphic study based on the design drawings created by the architecture office OMA/Rem Koolhaas are applied here as an example in order to describe and investigate this interface. In the process the drawings are manipulatedin a hybrid procedure consisting of manoeuvres determined by rules on one hand and free operations on the other. The examination method thus stands in direct analogy to the hybrid character of the design process itself.

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.
Imagem artificial e concepção arquitectónica
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2010) Pinheiro, Vasco; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
Não só no universo do ensino da arquitectura mas também no âmbito da profissão propriamente dita, o tema das novas tecnologias associadas à actividade do projecto e da sua dinâmica de concepção constitui, hoje, um tema efervescente que encetou um debate alargado nos meios institucionais próprios conduzindo a uma importante reflexão e ao avanço de diversos tipos de considerações. Esta reflexão procura analisar os impactos que os novos meios tecnológicos postos à disposição do projecto de arquitectura, e da actividade arquitectónica em geral, vêm introduzindo nas questões que se prendem com o pensamento operativo do arquitecto bem como, com aquelas que se prendem com o método, ou métodos, desenvolvidos na nas fases de concepção e configuração.
A conservação do património arquitectónico como factor de defesa do ambiente
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2007) Marreiros, Luís; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
Pretende-se com esta comunicação chamar a atenção para a existência de uma relação directa entre a conservação do património arquitectónico e a conservação da natureza. É defendida a convicção de que cabe aos arquitectos e aos engenheiros, enquanto projectistas, um importante papel na missão de salvaguarda destes valores. Por fim é apresentado um exemplo de um projecto recente que faz a ponte entre a preservação de valores históricos, as novas tecnologias e as preocupações com o ambiente.
The ShoppingScapes and the infrastructural city
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2013) Tavares, Ana Margarida Passos Coelho; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
Metropolitan landscapes gained, in the last few decades, new forms of materialization due to a double-sided factor: the full infra-structuration of the territory and the potential offered by the auto- -mobilization of the populations. This change of paradigm turned possible for commercial enterprises to discard the functional and scale mixture found in the traditional urban centers and to prefer creating their own, fully accessible, new peripheral centralities. Currently, cities have to be understood not as central places by themselves, but as nodes in an extensive web of interactions that are shaping how we experience the urban daily life at the relational scale. Recently the commercial market seems to have reached stagnation, which is forcing investors to rethink their competitive strategies and to find new business models, from where the e-commerce is arising as a future trend. Can ShoppingScapes, as we know them, be in danger of disappearing?
The Ouroborus Serpent - The memory in architecture : from the uterine size of the primordial home and the birth of the architectural creation to the object memories
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2014) Nunes, José Carlos Duarte Rodrigues Avelãs; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
The architecture’s memory is the primordial soup to the creative act of architecturaldesign. We intend to demonstrate that the architect uses a "drawer of the stored",standing on "manufactured" or "living" channels and whose creation is notspontaneous, but the result of life experiences and experiences of their consciousnessof the reality, intrinsic to his intellectual maturity. In this regard, examples andcommunication paradigms are presented in the creative process - from the ideaembodiment - until the evolution of these two time marks, and which are shownchangeable and subject to external and more complex readings, in addition to theshift on communication of these processes by the architects and designers. Insummary, in this article those issues will be considered with analysis of visions andproposals of the architects Álvaro Siza Vieira and Oscar Niemeyer and their works
Research by Design is up and running
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2011) Verbeke, Johan; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
This paper explores the context of and developments in Research by Design (RbD) as currently developing in Schools of Architecture. It starts from noticing that the design studio is the core of the bachelor and master curriculum. Extending this position to PhD research implies the search for research where the design process is the main method of researching and creating knowledge and understanding. These developments connect to similar developments in the arts. Mode 1 and mode 2 knowledge, reflection and other knowledge processes are the base for developing knowledge for the field of architecture when practice and designing are the main method of research. The paper concludes with observing many PhD and research projects building on design activities and practice are currently under way and are supported by academia. They produce a specific type of knowledge and understanding, usually opening up problems and exploring boundaries.

The relational space : designing new urban hinges in suspended edge places
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2014) Aquilar, Giorgia; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
The research on tentative strategies for designing spaces which reveal themselves as relational, choral, shared, participated, gains new meanings and renovated urgencies under the changing conditions of contemporary architectures, landscapes and cities.Object of inquiry is the complex whole of transitional spaces, intermediate places,suspended fragments hovering among different morphological, historical, social contexts, expressing unexplored potentialities as new urban hinges. These mediatedjoint-spaces – acting as relational devices – provide the opportunity to reflect on theovercoming of the traditional theme of public urban space. Therefore the sustained hypothesis resides in the turning of the idea of "relation" from a conceptual device –for the interpretation of space quality – into a strategic tool with multiple methodological values, whose implications may be investigated through the concrete experience of the project.

Linear Shopping(e)scape : shopping the Italian way
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2013) Granello, Guido; Fabris, Luca; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
The paper first focuses on the history of the urban places devoted to the commerce in the towns of the Italian peninsula and analyses the change the quality and quantity of exchanges and shopping places brought before into at the urban scale and then into the territorial one. From the ancient villages Market Square, to the Market Streets that made the fortune of many Italian cities, then to the Market Roads invented during the Italian Boom of the ‘60s during last century to the Market Motorway that characterises the nowadays commerce and the shopping centres constellations: all this is the heritage that shaped the continuous, linear shopping landscape present in Lombardy and Friuli Venezia Giulia. The essay tries to individuate some hypothesis starting from this picture in motion, taking count that Italy, beside its cultural and natural landscape, has been always also a living shopping-scape.
Community-oriented consumption and opportunities for change in shopping centre/mall design
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2013) Máté, Kirsty; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
Shopping centres are the bastions of the consumer age, promoting in their design the desire to continue to consume at an unsustainable rate. However there is growing evidence that new paradigms of consumption are emerging in developed countries, led by evolving technologies and online shopping, that are shifting consumer values and behaviours - and the environments in which we shop will need to adapt. Community-oriented consumption paradigms relate to behavioural changes that link people more closely, socially and/or culturally, with each other, providing a sense of community. These can be virtual or face-to-face. Collaborative consumption, the ‘Me vs We’ economies, service economies, the slow movement and prosumption are examples. This paper will discuss the variety of community-oriented consumption paradigms, addressing food as a linking concept, and their influence on shopping centre/mall design.

The experience of a pioneer research program in architecture in Évora
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2014) Salema, Sofia; Soares, João; Rivera, Jorge Croce; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
Three years ago the University of Évora implemented a research PhD program in architecture. Generally a doctorate in architecture has been an academic title awarded to architects who present a theoretical dissertation; however, for us, as a young but promising school of architecture it was just natural that a project (as a methodology,a process of knowledge or simulation of a hypothesis) could be part of an advanced research in architecture. Thus, we started with this doctoral program seeking toquestion the current model of PhD programs and to established a new pioneering paradigm syllabus in the national context with the intention to reach the international arena During the course syllabus the project lab integrates the formulation of a theoretical hypothesis (a conjecture), that becomes an architectural design, which is unique, but simultaneously an universal knowledge. The program already had two editions were PhD students have been encouraged to develop advanced research and to foster interaction between the theoretical and architecture production. Currently no research has yet finished. Students, although much interested in this type of research, are divided in their approach to architectureas a theoretical, speculative and critical field, and to architecture as a field of research. Students and teachers are interested in research that develops their architecture design skills, as a relevant process of advancement knowledge in architecture.We believe that PhD syllabus will contribute to demystify and implement the concept of advanced studies in architecture, based on architectural research. This paper will share some of the ideas, doubts, and results of our PhD program.
Artificial mono-functionalism versus natural mixed-use : case study of Bartók Béla avenue, Budapest
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2013) Szendrei, Zsolt; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
These days one of the most important questions in connection with big cities is the functional diversity of the central areas. My research focuses on the connection between the rehabilitation of downtown, mixed-use developments and the problems of city usage. Among the new functional revitalizations a good example for top-down initiatives is the territory of Bartók Béla avenue, the south-eastern part of Budapest, because of the conscious functional rehabilitation by the local government. The artificial changes of the spontaneously shaped mixed-use territory of the district query the liveability and usability of the area. The research analyses the concentration of the different types of commercial and service functions and explores the temporal and spatial changes of the functional diversity and focuses on the sustainability effects of the multifunctional urban fields.
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?
Knowledge and studio culture in Portuguese architectural schools since Bologna
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2014) Pinto, Pedro da Luz; ECATI - School of Communication, Architecture, Arts and Information Technologies
The curricular harmonization of the European courses, the Bologna Process (1999-2009), relocated an emphasis in the specificity of architectural education inside auniversity environment. Nowadays, the architect’s basic training embraces a Master’sdegree and compromises research as an educational purpose. Furthermore, doctoralcourses and research centres are associated, framing funding and evaluation, andpressing an overall urge for professional academic production, which can move theschools away from the construction site into the library and the laboratory, turningthe learning programs into extensions of the research ones. Therefore, in the halls ofthe design studio arise the researcher-teacher-designer, professor Clark Kent (Figueira,2013). Within this scenario, the article exposes both the organizational, curricular anddidactical evolutions in Portuguese schools, and inquires the models and theknowledge, transmitted and produced, trying to foresee any paradoxes requiring an epistemological clarification.
