The central bay takes the perpendicularity to the line of the valley. The other two sections are inflected and oriented towards their anchoring points. The connection between the two points is no longer the shortest distance between them. The tensioned geometry of its layout interferes with visual orientation and with the perception of dominating heights of “Serra da Estrela”, on one side, and with the vastness of Cova da Beira on the lower side." 28 Mar 2010 23:00:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d58 Planning your study trip or simple sightseeing became easier than ever.

A coffee-table tribute that may be the definitive book on the sadly underrated Portuguese genius. Acutely sensitive to site, and relentlessly experimental in the vein of an unstoppable Modernism, Siza is an architect for the ages. Impeccable photography throughout, particularly of his masterpiece, the Ibere Camargo Foundation Museum – a building of the same noble majesty as the Kimball or Guggenheim. Siza contributes some spare (though helpful) commentary. Fernando Guerra’s photography fills in the gaps and inspires the quick purchase of a ticket to Lisbon." www.archnewsnow.com 16 Dec 2009 17:20:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d54 09 Dec 2009 17:00:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d53 Version 3 of ultimasreportagens.com with a new design, 385 projects and 20.000 images online.

The building makes use of certain aspects of the region’s historical architecture, which is here reinterpreted in a contemporary way. It can be immediately recognized thanks to its two pyramid-shaped towers and the red-colored concrete used in its construction. The land and trees which previously existed at the site are incorporated as fundamental elements, while four wings, of varying heights and sizes, make up the building. The building itself is subdivided into rooms which lead into one another and are laid out around the higher central room which houses the temporary exhibition. The building’s interior has 750 m2 of exhibition space, on top of the technical and service areas, and is decorated in neutral shades and paved with the blue-grey marble of Cascais. The building also houses a shop, a café which opens onto a verdant garden and an auditorium with 200 seats. The building’s design is fully in keeping the artist’s wishes, and it was Paula Rego herself who was responsible for the choice of architect. It meets all the requirements for a museum and its various functions, without forgetting the need to give visitors a warm welcome. 13 Oct 2009 02:25:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d50 18 Sep 2009 17:20:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d49 12 Aug 2009 23:20:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d48 Álvaro Siza Interview by José Salgado - The HOUSE in Roberto Ivens | To talk about a house is not simply to refer to the dimensions of its rooms or to carefully describe the relationships between its spaces. It is these things as well, but, no matter how rigorous this information may be, it will never be enough to achieve a satisfactory portrait of the thing that which is the most relevant when we speak about houses: those moments in life when they are, or were the protagonist. 20 Jul 2009 01:20:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d47 Habitar Portugal is a selection of work by Portuguese architects built between 2006 and 2008, reproducing a part of the body of work which is Portuguese architecture – from small to large scale projects, from detachedhouses to public spaces. 20 Jul 2009 01:20:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d46 About opening the latest issue of GEO - When, 24 years ago, at the age of 16, I started to become interested in photography, I didn’t want to photograph houses, but the people who lived in them. I only wanted architecture to serve as the stage for the short stories I would tell little by little when I would return from a trip, or after a simple day of picture-taking in Lisbon. 09 Jun 2009 00:30:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d45 09 Jun 2009 00:30:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d44 09 Jun 2009 00:30:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d43 As is known, it took quite a long time before photography gained its own independent status following 1839 and the first daguerreotypes reproducing “portraits” in front of the photographer (to the delight and surprise of especially those who had, secretly and mythically, always wished to be permanently captured on canvas through the painter’s “genius”) 25 May 2009 15:30:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d42 Adalberto Dias | Álvaro Siza | Arquiporto | Atelier Daciano Costa | Artur Rebelo + Lizá Ramalho | Carlos Castanheira | Dante Macedo + Conceição Macedo | Entreplanos | Fernando Mendes Pinheiro | Frederico Valsassina | Hélder Santos Delgado | Ilídio Ramos | Inês Cortesão | João Tiago Aguiar | João Paciência | João Luís Carrilho da Graça | L Arquitectos | LGLS Arquitectos | Madalena Cardoso de Menezes + Francisco Teixeira Bastos | Miguel Arruda | Miguel Vieira Baptista | Nuno Grande + Alexandra Grande | Nuno Leónidas + Vasco Leónidas | Pedro Domingos | Paulo Serôdio | Promontório Arquitectos | Risco | Rita Cordeiro | Rita João + Pedro Ferreira | S3 Arquitectos | Sérgio Kock 12 May 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d41 Casa Adpropeixe / Carlos Castanheira & Clara Bastai 28 Apr 2009 18:10:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d40 The intervention has encompassed the city's long, coastal avenue from the São Brás Fort to the São Pedro pools, its main objective being the building of a new passenger boat terminal. As a consequence of the planning options for redevelopment and enlargement of the Ponta Delgada port and surrounding area, a restructuring programme of the port installations was drawn up separating the merchandise transport and industrial fishing zones from recreational areas. New infrastructures include a recreational marina, a new ocean pool, a new boardwalk, a car park, an event pavilion, shops and restaurants. The newly built landscape contrasts a more complex morphology with the regularization imposed by the Avenida Marginal in the middle of the last century. This sinuosity allows for greater situational variation along the coastline and new relations between the buildings and the sea. The landscape modifications together with the expansion of leisure and commercial activities are expected to constitute a more lively and worldly context for the city's seafront. Contrary to current practice in Portugal, an attempt has been made to show that there is always a margin for "design" in large infrastructure projects. 16 Apr 2009 18:10:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d39 "Perfect world" Fernando Guerra Photo Exihibition in Aveiro, Portugal. 7 Apr 2009 00:20:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d38 7 Apr 2009 00:10:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d37 This new volume highlights over 20 new projects.

The photograph was made in Lisbon for R2 Design who made the instalation in Ermida de Nossa Senhora da Conceição. This chapel was built in 1707 and is located in Travessa Marta Pinto, in Belém. 2 Feb 2009 19:00:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d28 On Siza... One of Siza’s projects that has affected me the most is the Anyang pavillion, 30km south of Seoul in South Korea. When we travel to the other side of the world, we can’t postpone a session due to poor weather or insufficient conditions. We have to create the images with no excuses. Thus, during the summer of 2006, I went to Anyang to photograph the small pavilion built on an open square carved into the mountain, and I was greeted by a week of incessant rain. It was one of my first projects for the studio and I couldn’t nor wanted to make excuses for an incomplete or insufficient piece of work. Filled with anxiety, I did what I had to do: I took pictures... 2 Feb 2009 18:00:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d27 Álvaro Siza on a recent visit to the Mimesis Museum in Paju, South Korea 2 Feb 2009 17:00:00 GMT http://www.ultimasreportagens.com#d26 'Perfect World' exhibition presents the architectural photography of Fernando Guerra.
