Introduction
I am an Assistant Professora of Theory of Architecture in the University of Évora. I am Principal Investigator of a research project about Malagueira by Álvaro Siza to be proposed to the World Heritage List (UNESCO). My research is focused on sketches and projects by Álvaro Siza as representations of an architectural vision, encapsulating the ideas of "research by design" in practice, experimental perception and augmented reality, and spatial complexity.

Apresentação sobre o arquivo do projeto da Malagueira de Álvaro Siza Vieira na Drawing Matter.
Álvaro Siza Viera began in March 1977 the constant, methodical, and continuous, almost compulsive, recording of drawings in A4 notebooks. This record, which spans over the 22 years he spent working at the Bairro da Malagueira project in Évora, allows us to understand his conception and design process, and reflects the ability of drawing to serve as...
This research was aimed to understand the evolution of Malagueira’s typologies and their variations. The urban plan for Malagueira was initiated in 1977 by the architect Álvaro Siza Vieira, for an area of 27ha and the construction of 1200 dwellings.
The houses in the Malagueira neighborhood are considered an example of ingenious design. In fact, on...
In 1977 Malagueira at Évora began to be built. Drawings show that "plan" and "project" have unfixed borders and the events on the landscape connect and create a dialogue between the user and the place. The drawing, in its gradual approach to scale reveals a geometric abstraction that becomes architecture. Events are pieces of architecture that will...
Emptiness is as an intrinsic part of the city, as it is a path of continuous evolution or its reverse and stagnation. Because of the process, expectant spaces arise, between the opportunity and the discomfort of failed processes. Alvaro Siza’s Quinta da Malagueira estate in Évora is an example of a large urban area designed with a mixed plan that p...
This paper analyses the instrumentality of drawings by Alvaro Siza Vieira in
his architectural practices at the specific case of Malagueira (Évora,
Portugal, 1977-2005). Malagueira acts as a major urban project that entails
almost all the praxis of the architect: the urban plan, the landscape design,
both private (dwelling) and public (equipment’s)...

Malagueira acts as a major urban project that entails the practice of architecture: the urban plan, the landscape design, housing and public equipment’s, and detailed design. Álvaro Siza’s...

1 Background of the study
Cultural tourism has become a major source of service exports in Portugal, and World Heritage listed sites have undergone a very high demand on tourism. Architecture is generally recognized as a relevant enhancement of the physical assets of destinations, thus being contributing with architectural landmarks to sites attrac...
The practice of architecture is an ethical and responsible act that implies a rigorous and broad knowledge of the place of intervention and of the relationships between people and the built or natural environment where it is designed for. Within the methodologies used in teaching architecture, the authors propose and promote in their curricular uni...
Resumo O exercício da arquitetura é um ato ético e responsável que implica um conhecimento rigoroso e amplo do lugar de intervenção e das relações entre as pessoas e esse ambiente construído ou natural onde se projeta. No âmbito das metodologias utilizadas no ensino da arquitetura os dois signatários propõem e promovem nas suas unidades curriculare...
As propostas de investigação apresentadas (“Projetos de IC&DT” e “Emprego Científico”) refletem sobre a oportunidade inovadora de demonstrar o valor cultural e artístico de um projeto arquitetónico - a Malagueira de Álvaro Siza Vieira - aos cidadãos.
Pretende-se uma pesquisa tecnológica transdisciplinar baseada no conceito de “investigação através...
Os concursos de arquitetura são uma oportunidade de investigação em projeto e fonte experimental de inovação teórica, prática e artística, assentando numa apresentação retórica visual e verbal de uma ideia em resposta a um problema de projeto. São momentos únicos de ligação entre a Praxis e a Academia provando a investigação-ação e a evidenciando q...
A Competition on Architecture and Landscape Design: the construction of a common research. Pedro Guilherme, Sofia Salema and Conceição Freire - Faculdade de Arquitectura da Universidade de Évora
In a methodological approach where the design trial is structuring, two different instrumental branches are considered: at conceptual level, related to thought; and at the level of action.
By acting on these two scopes it becomes evident that the handling potential and applicability that an instrument contains induces possibilities that, in the pro...
Architectural Design Competitions is a growing field of research in architecture theory and provide a laboratory view over the dynamics of the production of environmental design quality and the renewing process of culture and knowledge. Design competitions connect academia and praxis, can bring out the best out of architects and is a way to achieve...
This dissertation aims to understand how architectural competitions, and in particular international tenders, were relevant for the internationalization of Portuguese Architecture and reflect a procedure of research, development and innovation. We limited our research to international architectural competitions of both Portuguese Pritzker prizes: Ál...
Architects have long competed among themselves in design competitions to choose a design
or designer for an architectonic solution to a particular problem. This historical review
examines the reasons why Portuguese architects decide to participate in international design
competitions and the links between some major political, economic and sociolog...
The Beaux-Arts programme was structured around a series of anonymous competitions that culminated in the grand prix de 'l'Académie Royale', more well known as the 'Grand Prix de Rome', for its winner was awarded a scholarship and a place at the French Academy in Rome. During the stay in Rome, the 'pensionnaire' would be expected to regularly send h...
Research by design is a broader concept that includes “practice-based research” and “practice-led research” which means that we are talking about two kinds of methodologies of research: one involves research through practice and the other involves research about practice. The difference is methodological, because one is research where the inquiry i...
