Replay. VHS Architecture – The Post-modernism Symposia
Throughout
the 1980s, the Department of Architecture at the School of Fine Arts of Lisbon
(DA-ESBAL) was host to various cultural initiatives, some of which recorded on
video, a system internally introduced for a variety of purposes – from archive
to pedagogical ones.
Among
the extra-school events filmed, there were three Architecture Symposia which
aimed to reflect on postmodernism - a theme on the day´s agenda - and brought
to Portugal some of the hottest names of the international architectural
culture.
“Replay.
VHS Architecture – The Post-modernism Symposia” is the result of the revisiting
of these symposia: a selection, analysis and editing of more than twenty hours
of raw recordings. The final object, although dramatically reduced, is an acute
synthesis of the material collected - in the sense that it retains the strong
lines of individual programs of both conferences, and though maintaining the
consistency of the image record of the time, highlights aspects that today,
after thirty years, are particularly prevalent.
This
film was originally made by Jorge Figueira and Leonor Matos Silva for an event
entitled "VHS Architecture. Lisbon, 1980s: The Post-modernism
Symposia" which took place at MUDE – Museu do Design e da Moda, in Lisbon,
on April 2015.

VHS Architecture. Lisbon, 1980s: The Post-Modernism
Symposia
Between 1982 and 1986, the
Department of Architecture at Escola Superior de Belas Artes (ESBAL) organized
a series of four international symposia devoted to the advent of
post-modernism. It was an uncommon and
ambitious initiative at the time, and it brought together some of the most
influential architects in this area.
They were welcomed by Tomás
Taveira, a key player in the dissemination of the concept and practice of
post-modernism in Portugal, and an active promoter of these symposia together
with Augusto Brandão (Director of Architecture at ESBAL).
Leonor Matos Silva’s PhD
research “unearthed” the tapes of three of these events.
The Seminar “VHS Architecture.
Lisbon, 1980s: The Post-Modernism Symposia”, will bring these documents to the
public for the first time with the aim of fostering a debate on the contents,
reception and context of these discourses within the framework of Portuguese
architecture.
Tomás Taveira, leading figure of
the post-modernist movement in Portugal, is invited to this reunion with a
forgotten part of Portuguese architecture’s recent history.
