History of Portuguese Architecture

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  Portuguese architecture is part of the broader family of European architecture, also known as Western, with Greco-Roman roots and some influences from Islamic and Near Eastern architecture. However, within the Western context, Portuguese architecture has particularities resulting from the adaptation of imported models and realized in Portugal with financial resources, which were typically more precarious than those of many European countries, despite the exceptions during the reigns of King Manuel I and King João V. In this context, the curriculum will focus primarily on these particularities, comparing Portuguese examples with those of our Spanish neighbors and beyond, as we often bypass Spain and seek direct information from other European countries, particularly the Hanseatic League countries, Italy, France, and Germany, among others. It is therefore pertinent to focus on these issues and, whenever possible, identify other reasons of a temperamental nature.

• ObjectivosObjectives

  The goal is for students to be able to clearly observe the phenomena of formal adaptation of Western architecture to the Portuguese reality by comparing concrete examples presented in class. It is also appropriate and essential to encourage students to understand the reasons and architectural methods adopted by participating in practical exercises in class, without neglecting the theoretical component.
