Ideias e discursos em volta da Arquitetura: Projeto Editorial scopio

A apresentação scopio Editorial Project: A Catalyst for Architectural Discourse and Ideas integrou o programa rico e diversificado de autores e especialistas de renome internacional que participaram neste evento do RIBA.

O Dia de Estudo sobre fotografia de arquitetura teve o seu início na parte da manhã com um painel de discussão em volta dos Arquivos e Coleções Fotográficas, sendo seguido por apresentações individuais que abordaram temas como o do significado e relação da Fotografia com a Arquitetura e qual o futuro deste media na era digital.

A Apresentação do Projeto Editorial scopio

Durante a sessão da tarde, Pedro Leão Neto teve o privilégio de apresentar o projeto editorial da scopio a uma audiência composta por especialistas e estudiosos de renome internacional. Foi assim explicado o "porquê" e o "como" o projeto editorial scopio que tem como principal interesse a Fotografia Contemporânea relacionada com Arquitetura, Cidade e Território, tem tido um papel fundamental para estimular debates e fomentar ideias no campo disciplinar da arquitetura através da fotografia.

A apresentação destacou também o impacto significativo que este projeto editorial tem alcançado, manifestando-se através de uma notável série de publicações, tanto em formato de revista quanto de livro. Adicionalmente, foi revelada a criação de duas revistas académicas em suporte físico e online através da plataforma U.Porto OJS - Sophia Journal e scopio Magazine AAI - que interligam os mundos da fotografia, arquitetura e arte.

Programação de proeminentes oradores

O Dia de Estudo do RIBA Photo Festival foi enriquecido por um grupo distinto de oradores, cada um contribuindo com sua perspectiva única:

• Angelo Maggi, an associate professor of the history of photography and architectural history at Università Iuav di Venezia, Italy.

• Richard Pare, a renowned photographer and the founding curator of the photography collection at the Canadian Centre for Architecture.

• Gary Van Zante, curator of architecture, design, and photography collections at the MIT Museum.

• Irena Murray HonFRIBA, an esteemed architectural historian and curator, chaired the event.

• Ágnes Anna Sebestyén, an art historian and curator at the Hungarian Museum of Architecture and Monument Protection Documentation Centre, brought her insights to the table.

• Neal Shasore, the Head of School and Chief Executive at the London School of Architecture, shared his expertise.

• Marco Iuliano, an Italian architect teaching at the University of Liverpool School of Architecture (LSA), provided valuable perspectives.

O rico programa do RIBA Photo Festival incluiu o ciclo de Palestras The Colin Rowe Lecture series, que teve como oradora convidada a fotógrafa suíço-francesa Hélène Binet, bem como o lançamento da exposição Wide-Angle View de fotografia, com uma visita curatorial de Valeria Carrulo, curadora de Fotografia do RIBA e editora do catálogo da exposição.

O ciclo de palestras Colin Rowe tem como objetivo discutir o papel da imagem na arquitetura, particularmente o papel crucial da fotografia de arquitetura. Hélène Binet apresentou um discurso brilhante, resumindo alguns dos momentos mais significativos de seu trabalho ao longo de mais de 35 anos, capturando tanto a arquitetura contemporânea quanto a histórica.

Nas transformações e interações entre matérias existe algo de muito interior, algo que vem de dentro e regressa de fora. Torna-se difícil definir extremidades e limites entre as coisas. Entre aquilo que rodeia e aquilo que é rodeado, aquilo que contém e o que é contido, entre a lava e a rocha ou entre o mar e a poça.

Devotional

Devotional

by Fernando Maselli

Devotional is a documentary project that explores the places, practices, and structures of popular religiosity in Argentina. It delves into the phenomenon of spontaneous canonizations of apocryphal saints and the collective acceptance of certain sites as sacred. This project serves as a catalog of dissident architectures and offerings, reflecting contemporary mestizo religiosity.

In Latin America, following European colonization, a unique religious syncretism emerged as a result of the blending of diverse cultures in these regions. In Argentina, this syncretism found particular significance in remote and marginalized areas of the northwest, where many indigenous cultures were decimated due to Spanish evangelization. This setting, combined with the influences of African religions and gaucho folklore, created fertile ground for the emergence of numerous popular cults.

These cults often revolve around real individuals who lived in these regions and, owing to circumstances related to their lives or deaths, have been elevated to the status of saints with the perceived ability to perform miracles.

While it's challenging to categorize these popular saints strictly, there are some common themes among these devotions. For instance, figures like Difunta Correa or Gilda, who met tragic ends, are seen as embodying sanctity through enduring suffering. Others, such as Miguel Ángel Gaitán and Pilarcita, who died prematurely, are revered as "little angels," while Gauchito Gil and Bailoretto represent defiance against established authority. These cults express their devotion in ways reminiscent of Christianity, including prayers, touching and kissing of images, pilgrimages to their burial sites, lighting candles, offering flowers, and making votive offerings or fulfilling promises.

The sanctuaries themselves, like the cults they represent, are characterized by their collective, heterodox, and mestizo nature. These structures are built through generous donations, often using recycled materials, and they differ significantly from institutional sacred geometry or standardized monumentality. These profane sanctuaries stand as intricate and multifaceted visual evidence of spontaneous religiosity, offering a genuine reflection of the customs and concerns of the people in these regions.

Votive offerings also hold significant importance in these devotions. Consequently, these communal architectures are adorned with a myriad of diverse objects, representing the heartfelt expressions of those who participate in these unique religious practices.

Bio

Born in Buenos Aires, Fernando Maselli initially pursued Fine Arts and later relocated to Madrid, where he currently resides. His work has earned numerous accolades and has been showcased on the global stage, including exhibitions at prestigious venues such as the Copenhagen Photo Festival (Denmark), Guernsey Photography Festival (UK), PHotoESPAÑA (Madrid), International Biennial of Photography Fotonoviembre (Spain), Foto Museo Cuatro Caminos (Mexico), PhotoImagen Photography Festival (Dominican Republic), W-CA Contemporary Landscape Photography Open (UK), NordArt (Germany), SCAN Tarragona International Photography Festival (Spain), Lima International Book Fair (Peru), Youth Arts Award Complutense University (Madrid), ITAÚ Fine Arts Award (Argentina), University of Navarra Museum (Spain), and Contemporary Art Museum of Coruña (Spain). Additionally, he has authored two books, one of which is part of the esteemed Kursala collection at the University of Cádiz.

In recent years, the core focus of Fernando Maselli's artistic practice has centered on extensive research into diverse interpretations of landscapes across various cultures and historical eras. For Maselli, the act of photography is both an action and an immersive, emotional experience. Through journeys to remote locales, he translates his fascination with notions of "nature" into dynamic interpretations that encompass themes of beauty, the sublime, human architectural interaction, and the sacred. Throughout his career, he has drawn inspiration from classical painting, literature, Western aesthetics, and philosophy.

CONTRAST: MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARTISTIC NETWORK OF ART, ARCHITECTURE, DESIGN AND PHOTOGRAPHY FUNDED BY DGARTES

CONTRAST: MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARTISTIC NETWORK OF ART, ARCHITECTURE, DESIGN AND PHOTOGRAPHY FUNDED BY DGARTES | 2023

PT / ENG

The "CONTRAST: MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARTISTIC NETWORK OF ART, ARCHITECTURE, DESIGN AND PHOTOGRAPHY" (CONTRAST) project, led by the Architecture, Art, and Image (AAI-CEAU-FAUP) research group, coordinated by Pedro Leão Neto, in partnership with the Cultural Association Cityscopio, ESMAD-uniMAD, and FBAUP-i2ads and ID+, has been selected for funding by DGARTES in the Support for Projects Program.

CONTRAST's work, along with its team and partners - ARCO, DARQ, DCAM, EA.UCP, ESAP, ESMAD, FAUP, FBAUL, FBAUP, FEUP, and IPT - has been recognized both in terms of Creation and Education and in the network of initiatives involving Dissemination, Debate, and Editorial activities related to Photography and its interaction with Art, Architecture, and Design. This is considered an important achievement, and the project expresses gratitude to all its partners for their support and active participation, which greatly contributed to being selected by DGARTES once again.

It's also important to note that these projects hold significance in the curriculum of the institutions and the participating educators. All the institutions and educators are integrated as members of the project team funded by competitive grants, officially documented on the CEAU-FAUP website.

Over the next two years, the project will strengthen its research component and expand partnerships, especially within the European context, with other institutions and artistic networks related to their area of interest. To internationalize the CONTRAST project, a partnership will be established with the Society for Artistic Research (SAR), an international nonprofit society dedicated to the development, connection, and international dissemination of artistic research as a specific knowledge production practice. The goal is to initiate a pilot project in which the photographic projects of partner institutions can be created and hosted on the Research Catalogue platform, an international infrastructure for artistic research that allows multimedia publication.

In addition to the new partnership with the Society for Artistic Research (SAR), collaboration continues with three schools outside of Portugal, namely the Liverpool School of Architecture (LSA), the Zaragoza Unidad Predepartamental de Arquitectura at the University of Zaragoza (UNIZAR), and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya BarcelonaTech (UPC) in Barcelona.

Iremos agora, nos próximos dois anos, reforçar a componente de investigação do projeto, bem como alargar as nossas parcerias, nomeadamente no contexto Europeu com outras instituições e redes artísticas próximas do nosso universo de interesse. Com este objetivo de internacionalização do projeto CONTRAST irá ser criada uma parceria com a Society for Artistic research (SAR) sociedade internacional sem fins lucrativos, artística e científica, dedicada ao desenvolvimento, ligação e divulgação internacional da investigação artística como uma prática específica de produção de conhecimento. O objetivo é iniciar um projeto piloto em que os projetos de fotografias das instituições parceiras possam ser criados e alojados na plataforma Research Catalogue, uma infraestrutura internacional de investigação artística que permite a publicação multimédia.

Para além da nova parceria criada com a Society for Artistic research (SAR), continua a nossa colaboração com três escolas fora de Portugal, nomeadamente com a Liverpool School of Architecture (LSA), Zaragosa Unidad Predepartamental de Arquitectura da Universidade de Zaragoza (UNIZAR) e Barcelona Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya BarcelonaTech (UPC).

8TH SOPHIA JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

Organized by: Hugh Campbell, Igea Troiani, João Leal, Mark Durden, Olívia Marques da Silva, Pedro Leão Neto, Rikke Munck Petersen, Teresa Ferreira

On September 15th and 16th, at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto (FAUP), another edition of our Sophia Journal International conference took place, continuing the successful annual cycle of international forums dedicated to the critical exploration of the intersections between image and architecture.

Landscapes of care: photography, film, modern architecture and landscape heritage invited theoretical and field work where architectural photography and film-making are descriptive, analytical and interpretive, communicating original perceptions and new understandings of modern architecture and landscapes. Photography and film projects that will allow us to show how modern buildings and landscapes have responded to and reflect the local conditions of their production and importance.  Projects which critique and expand our understanding of what constitutes modern architecture and landscape, in terms of its language, locations, functions, creators, patrons and public.

Photography and film work that can allow us to see the social dimension of architecture and landscape, to understand architecture as Alvar Aalto did, “as a great synthetic process of combining thousands of definite human functions” to contribute to a greater understanding of modern architecture’s and landscape’s potential for a more ecological and sustainable balance and interplay between architecture and nature.

The Conference, on the 15th of September, will be presenting the selection of the best theoretical papers and visual essays submitted to our Call. Being organised in 3 panels, it will constitute a live forum for debating photography, film, modern architecture and landscape heritage, among other stimulating issues central to discuss what we have proposed in our Call.

8TH SOPHIA JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

Organized by: Hugh Campbell, Igea Troiani, João Leal, Mark Durden, Olívia Marques da Silva, Pedro Leão Neto, Rikke Munck Petersen, Teresa Ferreira

On September 15th and 16th, at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto (FAUP), another edition of our Sophia Journal International conference took place, continuing the successful annual cycle of international forums dedicated to the critical exploration of the intersections between image and architecture.

Landscapes of care: photography, film, modern architecture and landscape heritage invited theoretical and field work where architectural photography and film-making are descriptive, analytical and interpretive, communicating original perceptions and new understandings of modern architecture and landscapes. Photography and film projects that will allow us to show how modern buildings and landscapes have responded to and reflect the local conditions of their production and importance.  Projects which critique and expand our understanding of what constitutes modern architecture and landscape, in terms of its language, locations, functions, creators, patrons and public.

Photography and film work that can allow us to see the social dimension of architecture and landscape, to understand architecture as Alvar Aalto did, “as a great synthetic process of combining thousands of definite human functions” to contribute to a greater understanding of modern architecture’s and landscape’s potential for a more ecological and sustainable balance and interplay between architecture and nature.

The Conference, on the 15th of September, will be presenting the selection of the best theoretical papers and visual essays submitted to our Call. Being organised in 3 panels, it will constitute a live forum for debating photography, film, modern architecture and landscape heritage, among other stimulating issues central to discuss what we have proposed in our Call.

Encounters

Encounters

by Boris Snauwaert

“Encounters” is a loose, slowly growing collection of portraits I made throughout the years. Here’s a few of them.

I love how a photographic portrait can be a document of the interaction between the person(s) standing before the lens and the photographer. A small record of an encounter.

There is so much to read in a portrait.

Far Away From The Place Where You Are

Far Away From The Place Where You Are

by David egan

This work is a response to my own personal anxieties and desires to be alone. It is about a search and struggle to find a safe space. It is about home, it is about my love of nature and want to be in it, it is about connecting to something, it is about loss, it is about repetition, it is calm, it is about life and death, it is about a destination.

Over time I have come to realize that the area that I have chosen to return to and photograph represents those feelings for not just me but many people. All of the photographs from this series were made in and around the Salton Sea, in Southern California. Once a bustling vacation destination of the 1960’s and 1970’s, it has slowly become a place that is struggling to survive. The sea itself is evaporating and filled with dead fish and birds. There is a smell in the air. There are unruly people that want to be left alone. There are homes and structures that have been abandoned. It is occupied by a lot of people looking to avoid societal norms as well as those who just can’t afford to live anywhere else. It is one of the hottest places in the country. It is an unstable desert landscape. It is beautiful.

The mooring island

The mooring island

by Bartolomeo Rossi

I traveled to Iceland driven by a force that carried me north to try to understand why in a landscape completely foreign to me, I felt at home, protected by the walls of an imaginary refuge. Without giving me answers, I realized that this land has managed to ignite the sparks of memory in me, stimulating my unconscious to recognize places and objects as familiar even though I met them for the first time on my journey. So traces have become signs, objects have become childhood memories and an unknown land has become home.

This is the story of my relationship with the island; land of "ancient solitude" as Manganelli defines it on his book Isola Pianeta, it is this feeling of solitude, not sought but somehow necessary, that carried me along the endless coasts of the west fjords.

The path I trace guides me inside this refuge made of land and sea, finally aware that home has never been so close.

Bio

Bartolomeo Rossi (1993) is an Italian photographer. From 2017 to 2019 he attended the master's degree in contemporary image at Fondazione Modena Arti Visive, which ended with the acquisition of his diploma project Camera Mia by the foundation’ collection. In 2015 he meets Iceland and his landscapes, which lead him to return to the island for the following five years. The project The mooring island develops from these trips.

His research has always been centered on the landscape and on the intimate and private perception of it, with a particular interest in the roots that bind an individual to his imaginary.

Dream Moons

Dream Moons

by Yurian Quintanas Nobel

A full moon was watching me in my sleep, but I could not see her in my dream. She traveled throught the spaces to pull me into her world. She found me alone and caught me unprepared.

Her gravitational pull was effecting everything, the way it effects the oceans. Although everything looked unestable and confusing, I knew that from this moment on she was in custody of my being.

Unreachable sunny day outside. A thin mesh kept it far. I felt lost and dazed. Something happened in the past. Why did the sun looked so dark inside?

My house looked like a maze, a tenebrous shelter where nobody could enter but that was harder to leave. I walked through its corridors and up and down the stairs, but I couldn’t reach the exit. Darkness everywhere.

Fear unsettled me as a deadly poison, but I knew it was a subtle and breakable trap. I just had to follow the traces that time had left behind and repair its damage.

Everything around me was fading away, like if somebody had invoked a devastating mechanism to erase all that I harbored in my brain.

A distant squeak, muffled breath of a starving beast. This was the place where everything started, but now nobody was there. I left the most essential of my self and fled with the moon to settle somewhere else. An unknown state of silence and dust.

Bio

Walk by day because night is ours

Walk by day because night is ours

by Alejandra Vacuii

Galicia, a Spanish region in the Northwest, is a territory of myths and superstitions that go back to the night of time. One of these legends is La Santa Compaña, a procession of souls led by a living person with a cross who goes out every night through the woods announcing death. There is only one way to get rid of their curse: meet another living person and give them the cross. In the sepulchral silence that occurs as it appears, it can only be heard from time to time some soul screaming "walk by day because the night is ours!".

Today, pessimism and hopelessness seem to have settled in Western societies as a response to the economic, health, ecological and moral crises that we have been chaining for years. As hauntology predicted, there is a general feeling that the future has been cancelled: we can no longer imagine a better future, the idea of progress has disappeared, and instead of feeling that the world is improving it seems that we are headed towards disaster without warning. The fear floats in the air as if something terrible is going to happen, is the end of the world near?

Walk by day because the night is ours tells the metaphorical story of this omen. Through the legend of La Santa Compaña, which has been a warning that death was near when the Galician people still believed in the supernatural, this project tells us about this pessimistic hunch that is contaminating our current feeling. Something dark, mournful and terrible is about to happen. Like the people who were with La Santa Compaña in the middle of a dark and silent forest, we are being warned of the arrival of death.
