University of Minho receives International Congress on Architectural Archives
Nuno Sampaio, Executive Director of Casa da Arquitectura, and Ana Filipe, Coordinator of the Casa’s Archive, presented, on the 26th, the communication “The Public Sense of Architecture Archive”.
The opening counted with the presence of the Director of the Braga District Archive, António Sousa, the President of Architecture Archives Section of the International Archive Council (ICA-SAR), Yolanda Cagigas, General Director of the Cultural Heritage (DGPC), Paula Silva, and UMinho’s Principal, Rui Vieira de Castro. We hope to have the presence of the General Director of the Book, Archives and Libraries, Silvestre Lacerda. We will also have the opening conference, “Old Institutions, new responsibilities”, by Mirko Zardini, Canadian Centre for Architecture’s Director.
In the days that followed, there were also speakers, on the 26th, Antonello Alici with “The role of the architectural archives in the protection of cultural diversity. The Italian experience” and, on the 27th, André Tavares “Pragmatism and euphoria: to use Architecture Archives”. The event had the theme “Professional Experiences in cultural diversity” and included 34 communications, 12 posters, 3 conferences and a guided tour to Casa da Arquitectura (Matosinhos). Archive’s directors curators-restorers, architects and professors – with different cultural origins and work traditions – talked about production, architecture archive management and built environments (engineering, urban design, landscape design, etc) besides their preservation, authentication and use through society’s service.
The approached cases came from national and international relevant archives, with communications, particularly from Spain, South Korea, Italy, Finland and Indonesia, among other countries.
They will approach experiences and relevant projects such as the architect’s archives – Siza Vieira, Antonio Tenreiro Brochón (Galicia) –, from services as SAAL-North or Instituto Nazionale delle Assicurazioni (Italy).
The organization was in charge of ICA-SAR and the Braga District Archive), a cultural unity of UMinho, that brought for the first time this congress to Portugal. It also has the support of UMinho, the Municipality of Braga, Casa da Arquitectura, Odilo, Fundação Oriente, CCA and Keep Solutions.
