  Conhecer para proteger, gerir e ordenar sustentavelmente

  1º Congresso ibero americano em estudos de paisagem

  A Paisagem apresenta-se como o cenário que herdámos, onde vivemos, e donde retiramos os recursos com que subsistimos enquanto civilização e espécie. O resultado da nossa actuação sobre este património será a herança que iremos deixar aos nossos descendentes. No início do terceiro milénio, e numa sociedade submetida a mudanças culturais, que decorrem a velocidades muito superiores às que o tempo de percepção, meditação, e experimentação necessitam, o interesse pela Paisagem tem ganho uma importância crescente, que transforma a disciplina numa plataforma de investigação onde se cruzam os vários ramos do conhecimento.

  State-Rooms of Royal and Princely Palaces in Europe (14th-16th c.)

  Spaces, images, rituals

  From the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, European monarchies saw a gradual centralisation of power. This was accompanied by the dissemination of political ideas that contributed to the making of a new image of the prince, which relied on visual instruments to assert and construct the prince’s sovereign power. Royal and princely residences with their designated state-rooms were at the centre of this phenomenon. Their decors, particularly during ceremonies, reflected political interests and ambitions that were essential to the image of the prince. By placing a particular emphasis on the decor of those state-rooms, this workshop aims to increase our insights into the relations between the architecture, decoration, and rituals of monarchical power in state-rooms from the late middle ages to the beginning of the early modern period.
