Abstract
The title of this issue is composed by three moments of focus: Team 10 / Debate and Media / Portugal and Spain. The main focus addresses Team 10 as a group of architects who were dealing with the renovation process of Modern Architecture after the Second World War. Known as an informal group, Team 10 was however a platform of discussion, based on a complex network of several individual links with schools of architecture, architectural magazines, editors, writers and artists. That network is analysed in the second moment of focus. The last moment is a cultural and geographical one. In part because of their specific languages and political situations, Portugal and Spain were two countries geographically and culturally far from the centre of Europe. Although, despite that distance, there were many architects who managed to break this cultural detachment.
Highlights
Team 10: Debate and Media in Portugal and Spain. This issue of JOELHO is published in association with the International Conference “Team Ten Farwest: Critical Revision of the Modern Movement in the Iberian Peninsula, 1953–1981”
For the preparation of this conference — held in Porto in November 2019, in the year that marks the 60th anniversary of the last CIAM meeting of Otterlo in 1959 — two preliminary meetings were held, where several contributions of Portuguese and Spanish academics were presented — in Guimarães, December 2017, and Barcelona, June 2018
Many different historiographical perspectives were centred on subjects like the protagonists, the processes, architectural works, urbanism, and representation — from anthropology to cinema, from pedagogy to research, from architectural language to theory, from housing to tourism, from image to criticism
Summary
This issue of JOELHO is published in association with the International Conference “Team Ten Farwest: Critical Revision of the Modern Movement in the Iberian Peninsula, 1953–1981”. If Team 10 can be understood in a wider sense, as an idea built up over time, on a collective interpretive palimpsest, the aim of this issue is to understand the way in which Team 10 was critically interpreted, disseminated and assimilated in Portugal and Spain through the different platforms of debate and media.
