\nThe Survey on Regional Architecture, commonly known as the Survey, promoted by the
\nPortuguese Architects’ Union, benefitting from official government support, was
\ncarried out between 1955 and 1960 and was conducted by some of the Portuguese modern
\narchitects.<\/p>\n
A survey on vernacular architecture, entitled Inqu\u00e9rito \u00e0 Arquitectura Regional
\nPortuguesa [Survey on Regional Architecture in Portugal] was promoted by the Architects’
\nUnion between 1955 and 1960. It benefited from official government support and was
\nconducted by some of the main modern architects. It come out as a two volume book
\n– Popular Architecture in Portugal – published in 1961 and reprinted in 1979, 1988
\nand 2004.<\/p>\n
Taken from the outset as being able to provide “the basis for an honest, active
\nand healthy regionalism” (Keil do Amaral, 1947), the Survey, and the book it prompted,
\nhad great influence on Portuguese architectural culture. As it was accomplished
\nin an historical turning point, when some of the principles of Modern Movement were
\nbeing critically reviewed both nationally and internationally, the Survey’s outcomes
\nencouraged modern architects to recover national history and tradition.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the Portuguese Survey on vernacular architecture constitutes a remarkable
\nregister of the ancient rural country at the exact moment it was about to disappear.
\nThis fact would also guarantee its importance to other fields of study, such as
\nanthropology, history, and photography.<\/p>\n
In association with an ongoing research project Popular Architecture in Portugal.
\nA critical look, this conference aims to understand the Portuguese case in the international
\ncultural context and discuss the background, conditions, methodologies, published
\nresults, effects and the significance of such kind of surveys in the 20th century
\narchitecture and architectural thought.<\/p>\n
