Lisboa Brutalista
Magda Seifert, Pedro Baía (eds.)
This book, published by Circo de Ideias and edited by Pedro Baía and Magda Seifert, brings together a selection of 20 works situated in Lisbon, which aims to propose new ways of interpreting an architecture produced with constructive and material affinities associated with Brutalism.
The editorial and research project allowed the development of different levels of critical approach to the object of study. Ricardo Bak Gordon talked about Brutalism and certain questions that arose during the project. Léa-Catherine Szacka visited some of the selected works and wrote an essay from a cultural perspective. Carlos Machado e Moura and Paula Melâneo wrote essays using 10 works selected in each century. João Paupério and Maria Rebelo (atelier local) focused on each of the 20 works and wrote small critical framework texts. Francisco Ascensão and Luca Bosco presented a photo reportage on the 20 works, according to a sensibility arising from the Brutalist language.
The editorial project was supported by República Portuguesa – Cultura/Direcção-Geral das Artes and by the Lisbon City Hall as part of RAAML Cultura 2021.
