Summary:
Dans la seconde moitié du XIVe siècle, ravagé par des épidémies de peste et par une guerre de succession, le Portugal, exsangue, se lance pourtant dans une expansion, au départ fortement teintée de prétextes religieux. Se développent ainsi les comptoirs (feitorias) : entrepôts installés dans les zones côtières, construits dans le but de centraliser et, ainsi, de dominer le commerce des produits locaux vers le royaume (et de là vers l'Europe). Ils fonctionnent à la fois comme marché, entrepôt, lieu de rétention des esclaves, point d'appui à la navigation et aux douanes.Après des éclairages historiques et artistiques, ce catalogue de l’exposition présentée au château d’Angers en 2022, déploie un portfolio d’œuvres accompagnées de notices suivant les axes de l’exposition : La construction d’une histoire héroïque / Que vont-ils chercher ? / L’Afrique / L’Inde / Le Japon, la Chine, le Brésil.

Summary:
A l'occasion de l'exposition « La Maison Magique », les architectes de l'Atelier Bow-Wow (Yoshiharu Tsukamoto, Momoyo Kaijima et Yoichi Tamai) et Didier Fiuza Faustino ont choisit de travailler un matériau commun dans une logique de production cyclique. Ce matériau, le bois, utilisé dans la construction des deux architectures, est prélevé au Portugal et y sera réexpédié dès la fin de l'exposition pour une deuxième vie. Bien que les architectes aient décidé de travailler cette même matière, les deux habitacles qu'ils présentent offrent aux visiteurs deux réflexions complémentaires. Le catalogue est illustré par une galerie de photographies de l'exposition et du making of de cette installation inédite composée de deux maisons, Chigi House et A home is not a hole. Les plans d'exécution de ces deux structures à la croisée de l'architecture et de l'art sont également reproduits.

Summary:
In response to the theme of the 2016 Venice Biennial, Portugal presented a site-specific pavilion occupying an urban front in the midst of physical and social regeneration on Giudecca, an archipelago just south of Venice. The pavilion exhibited four works by Pritzger Prize winner Álvaro Siza (born 1933) on the theme of social housing Campo di Marte (Venice), Schilderswijk (The Hague), Schlesisches Tor (Berlin) and Bairro da Bouça (Porto) revealing his collaborative experience with the local inhabitants and unique understanding of the European city and citizenship. These projects resulted in the creation of neighborhood spaces aimed at a more tolerant, multicultural society, a subject important to the current European political agenda. This book unveils the curatorial process and the display of these works in Venice. Included are images of Siza’s recent visits to the neighborhoods, plus a presentation of the changes triggered by immigration, ghettoization, gentrification and “touristification.”

Summary:
In this publication, Victoria Newhouse addresses the aesthetics and acoustics in concert halls and opera houses of the past, present, and future. Site and Sound explores the daunting, perennial question: Does the music serve the space, or the other way around? Newhouse starts with a survey of venues from ancient Greek and Roman times and progresses to contemporary works around the world. She singles out Lincoln Center in particular for its long history and its transitions and remodelings over the years. Two major chapters cover the present: one focuses on recent work in the West, including the National Opera House of Norway in Oslo by Snohetta (2008), the Casa da Musica in Porto, Portugal, by Rem Koolhaas (2005), and many more; the second examines the boom in concert halls in China. A final chapter looks at projects that are currently planned and the future of an architecture for music.

Summary:
Dwelling for Intervals is a morphing International Artist Residency program, based on a forest retreat, that has hosted more than 150 resident artists from around the world since it began in 2001. First known as “A Week in the Woods”, it was situated in a room, in an apartment, in Montreal. Three years later, it became “This Neck of the Woods”, in a cabin in a backyard in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Finally, the project became a roving para-site called “Knock on Woods” which has temporarily staked claim to land in Holland, France, Portugal, Berlin, Japan, and Canada. Dwelling for Intervals is an independent state, a sculpture, a series of collaborations, an international artist residency, a wilderness, a tree house, a travelling circus and a relative site/situation for temporary doing and undoing. The publication documents both the sites and the on-site work of the residents.
