«O Estudo que José-Augusto França realizou em 1967, por convite do Presidente da Câmara Municipal de Lisboa (CML), António Vitorino da França Borges, encontra-se arquivado no processo privativo 1.1.8/1.ª/0/70. Este processo inclui também documentação referente à Proposta para a Salvaguarda do Património Artístico Arquitectónico e Histórico dos Bairros Tradicionais da Cidade de Lisboa, a análise ao Estudo efectuada pelos serviços de urbanismo (à data a 1.ª Repartição — Planeamento) e o Inventário de Monumentos Municipais, encomendado pela CML a Gustavo de Matos Sequeira em 1950. O Estudo foi executado entre Maio e Dezembro de 1967 e é constituído por:
— um documento escrito estruturado em 4 partes;
— 36 plantas de diferentes escalas (1:25000, 1:10000, 1:5000 e 1:2000) e 6 desenhos;
— um levantamento fotográfico composto por 292 imagens, realizado no início de 1968 por Armando Serôdio, cujos negativos se encontram no Arquivo Fotográfico da CML.
Na versão editada que aqui se apresenta, o texto do Estudo é reproduzido na íntegra, sendo da responsabilidade da coordenação editorial as notas de rodapé e toda a informação colocada entre parêntesis rectos. As plantas foram refeitas em ArcGis sobre a mesma cartografia utilizada no Estudo (Levantamento Cartográfico de 1950, Instituto Geográfico e Cadastral) e os alçados pombalinos foram redesenhados em CAD.» (texto da INCM)

Progressive Cities and Neighborhood Planning Collection, 1969-2005

«THE PROJECT is an effort to preserve and collect the historical record of these initiatives, to engage scholars in researching them, and to stimulate and support related collections at the sites where the material is generated. THE COLLECTION consists of 12 cubic feet of documents and other resources, and is held at Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscripts Collections (RMC). It includes many of the works referenced in the Project, and has been exhaustively indexed. Access is open to the public.»

ESF Research Networking Programme PALATIUM

PALATIUM

 

«PALATIUM is a Research Networking Programme financed by the European Science Foundation (ESF). It brings together scholars from different fields across Europe to promote transdisciplinary and transnational research on Court Residences as Places of Exchange in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe (1400-1700). During its five-year running period, from June 2010 to May 2015, PALATIUM will stimulate exchanges of knowledge and experience on this topic between historians, architectural historians, art historians and researchers from related disciplines in various meetings, workshops, conferences, and summer schools.»

«The ESF Research Networking Programme PALATIUM aims at creating a common forum for research on the late medieval and early modern European court residence or “palace” (palatium) in an interdisciplinary perspective. The world of the courts 1400-1700 constituted a network of truly European scale and international character, but its architecture is only rarely studied in its “connectivity”. Here the “palace” is seen as a place for cultural exchange. Human interaction in this space is regulated and codified by a set of rules, known as the “ceremonial”. The interaction between palace architecture (tangible) and the ceremonial (intangible, but known through a set of tangible testimonials of different types, written and visual) is one of the key questions the PALATIUM network aims to address. The palace’s space and form carry multiple connotations. To the informed observer they represent power, lineage, and tradition versus innovation. The decoding of this system of signs necessitates input not only of architectural and art historians, but also of various other disciplines, such as archaeology, politics, literature, theatre and music. The PALATIUM programme specifically wants to encourage the debate on method in the field. It aims at stimulating exchanges of knowledge and experience between historians, architectural historians, art historians and researchers from related disciplines, while building up a network of scholars and institutes from a large number of European countries, so as to mirror the international network of courts that is being examined.»

European architecture beyond Europe

European architecture beyond Europe:

Sharing Research and Knowledge on Dissemination Processes, Historical Data and Material Legacy (19th-20th centuries).

 

Architecture Beyond is COST Action IS0904

 

«This Action aims to produce a broader understanding of the worldwide spread of European architecture across empires during the 19th and 20th c. by focusing on its vectors, connections, semantics and materiality in a large range of geographic and linguistic contexts engaging both Western and non-Western environments. It posits that the bilateral colonial channel (e.g. French architecture in Algeria or British architecture in India), represented but one aspect of a larger multifaceted history. By combining architectural history with area studies’ knowledge, the intention is to map and analyze more complex dissemination patterns and border-crossing relationships. Beyond architecture, the challenge is to contribute to the writing of a global history of modern European culture, including overseas expansions and transnational dynamics in its scope. To that end, this Action proposes joining efforts at the European level in collaboration with non-European researchers. A major outcome will be the development of accurate digital resources on the topic, as a first step towards the building of a research infrastructure.»
