This feature benefits researchers and in particular editors, magazines, and other publications, as well as project authors and architects who will enjoy a more organized and indexed portfolio of each work." 09 Mar 2012 11:35:11 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d111 "Fernando Guerra, one of the most celebrated names in architectural photography today, arrived to Tel Aviv in a good time. The unstable weather allowed him to take a great series of photos. Guerra was in Israel as part of the "Aircraft Carrier" - The Israeli Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. He toured the country and photographed Israeli projects he will exhibit in Venice. As part of his visit, he even shot the building where we are based. Mr. Guerra, try to make us look nice, will you?" 20 Feb 2012 10:08:11 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d110 "Projects in the finalists with FG+SG photos" 15 Feb 2012 19:08:21 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d109 "Africa esencial Modernidad y tradición: un viaje por seis geografías The black continent has turned green: in the former heart of darkness there is room for hope, and both in the Sub-Saharan jungles and savannahs and in the political spring of the Mediterranean Coast budding green sprouts feed faith in a possible future.

As imagens traduzem o ambiente elegante e sofisticado deste aroma. Tranquilo mas intenso, sóbrio mas glamoroso, ousado e apaixonante. Este amor vive de emoções fortes, olhares compreendidos, diálogos que não precisam de terminar, num cenário urbano mas irremediavelmente romântico." 16 Dec 2011 15:55:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d101 "The new Cité de l'Océan et du Surf Museum designed by american architect Steven Holl in collaboration with brazilian artist Solange Fabião opened on 25 June 2011. For three days Fernando Guerra photographed life inside. Whether it was someone inaugurating the museum or simply passing through in a hurry back from the beach, one observed an encounter between the opening ceremony in formal attire and a surfboard under the arm. Figures caught in a structure extending in a perpendicular fashion to the ocean in a concave wave that houses the translucent buildings. A wave is a privileged stage between sky and ocean, as illustrated in Steven Holl's conceptual designs at the root of the project. Here a museum was born that unites scientific research of the ocean with the playful aspect of living and sharing experiences through a sport which, interestingly, Steven himself has been a practitioner of, bestowing him with an extra understanding of the spirit and relationship with the ocean. In collaboration with the New York studio, this special dossier presents these previously unpublished images, as well as watercolours of the creative process, final drawings and texts about the work written by those who have seen the completed building, as well as a piece by a long-time collaborator with Holl studio. Such elements allow all those who cannot pass through Biarritz to get to know the project in some depth. Hence, the ultimasreportagens.com website continues its work of not only disseminating a photographer's work and national architecture, but also of buildings with an international reference. After a series of projects in Latin America by Isay Weinfeld, it is the turn of this work by Steven Holl in Europe. All of these projects constitute a large database and a collection of resources for consultation and reference that will remain available online. This is our daily goal. Motivated by the uniqueness of this project and the piece that resulted from it, we decided to provide a print publication that documents the entire process. The book can be easily ordered online." 16 Sep 2011 18:03:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d100 "There are buildings that are more easily photographed than others. Not because they are necessarily better designed, but because they seem to display themselves well, as if they knew how to work the camera as a fashion model does. And there are others, which, although beautiful, don't work as well, whether because of the surroundings, the weather or its scale. It is up to the photographer to neutralize this difference..." 22 Jun 2011 10:02:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d99 "Sangue Jovem junta três amigas de infância, sem filhos, e que perante a inevitabilidade do envelhecimento, da doença e da solidão, procuram uma possibilidade de redenção. A elas junta-se um jovem que quer ser ator, cheio de certezas e fome de viver, que logo se torna vitima da sua própria voracidade. A noite apresenta-se como um jogo de suspensões e adiamentos de revelações, entre o que é segredo e o que é falta de memória, resolvendo-se por fim como manda a vida, de forma repetitiva. As três mulheres estão inquietas com a ideia de futuro possivelmente por não se reconhecerem no passado que construíram. O encontro anual possibilita o regresso a um lugar seguro de infância, mas pobre em vivências comuns e ninharias, tornando a identidade que reencontram espelhada umas nas outras, cada vez mais distante daquilo que gostariam de ver (...)" 22 Jun 2011 10:01:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d98 "The project takes advantage of the demolition of the existing building, which occupied the whole of the plot, to design a new Plaza, with a scale and dignity to receive the Law Courts. In dialogue with the granite walls that define its surroundings, the Plaza takes on the form of a bottling of stone, upon which the Law Courts rest. The building, set on four pillars, ensures transparency and connection between the two gardens that delimit it to the North and the South..." 03 Jun 2011 18:13:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d97 "The projects presented in this book have an almost unitarian coherence which is surprising and may even be disconcerting to those who have not followed your career in the last years. Contrary to what would be the norm in the culture of the 1980s in which style varied from building to building and there were constant shifts. These works are homogenous, controlled. They function as a collection." 01 Jun 2011 16:31:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d96 "The Perfect Match: Brazilian hotelier Rogério Fasano's latest creation is set among the rocky pampas of Uruguay.

One of the concepts that better defines the architecture of this group of architects is their approach to the main design, given it becomes the most important process of creation. The essence of each project and each intervention is withheld in the design that defines the transformation of nature where each landscape is transformed by the feelings and sensations of each place..." 13 May 2011 14:48:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d93 "Aires Mateus: House for elderly people in Alcácer do Sal" 12 May 2011 11:09:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d92 11 May 2011 10:04:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d91 "The Lisbon-based brothers Manuel and Francisco Aires Mateus push their residential designs out of the realm of the ordinary toward the surreal and dreamlike. In one project, they arranged the living room furniture of a beach house on a floor of deep sand. In another, a renovated winery, they suspended the volumes of the bedrooms over the living space like geometric stalactites. And in this project for a young family outside the small city of Leiria, they created the perfect archetypal form of a house, straight out of a Monopoly game box or a fairy tale. An apparently solid volume wrapped completely in white plaster — pitched roof and all — sits on the green plinth of an extended lawn, sharply profiled under the Portuguese sun (...)" 07 Apr 2011 10:24:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d90 "Arquitecto de formação, Fernando Guerra trocou a régua e o esquadro pela máquina fotográfica.

Foi de esplendor efémero a estreia de Antigono em 1755. Nesse Outono fatídico de Lisboa, a produção em cena era das mais luxuosas da época e contava com um elenco de prestígio internacional: um dos castrati era Gaetano Guadagni (o eleito de Handel para cantar no Messias e o primeiro Orfeu na ópera de Gluck). O Divino Sospiro quer resgatar esse esplendor e dar-lhe a vida que ficou perdida nas ruínas do grande terramoto. A malograda Casa da Ópera do Paço da Ribeira, inaugurada em Março de 1755, foi provavelmente a única que assistiu à interpretação da ópera Antigono, em cena aquando da destruição daquele espaço com o terramoto de 1 de Novembro. O libreto, da autoria de Pietro Metastasio e um dos preferidos pelos compositores da época, conta os "estranhos desastres" que sucedem a Antígono, rei da Macedónia, desde que se junta a Berenice, princesa do Egito. A partitura de Mazzoni, que regressa agora à vida com o Divino Sospiro, sofreu um trabalho de edição crítica da responsabilidade de Nicholas McNair." 21 Jan 2011 16:20:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d82 17 Jan 2011 17:50:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d81 MUDE - Creativelab assinado por Tenente | Casa do Conto - Pedra Líquida | Espiral portátil da História - Bernardo Rodrigues 11 Jan 2011 11:40:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d80 09 Dec 2010 14:00:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d79 09 Dec 2010 14:00:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d78 "It is with great satisfaction that we have implemented a new stage at FG+SG whereby from today our images can be acquired.
