Gonçlao Furtado, CRITICAL PROJECT - A role for theory in the practice of contemporary architecture, in: CECL, N 34 - Spaces December, José Bragança de Miranda and Eduardo Prado Coelho (Orgs), Lisboa, 2004
SINOPSE:
"If we conceive architecture not as merely the «art of organizing and constructing spaces» but rather as the conceptualization and sharing of «life-forms», we are forced to reevaluate the relation between theory and practice in this realm of knowledge. It is thus crucial to understand the transition from modernity to post-modernity, since, as much as in modernity architecture was conformed to a totalitarian language, with post-modernism arose a complex process that triggered deep cultural effects. Among these, we highlight the new perception of architecture as a cultural artifact able to articulate auto-reflexively a theory from its practices, and not reduced to the expression of a technique aimed at accomplishing a function."
