SECO, Rui. Before restart: periodicals and scientific debate about the city. CIDADES [online]. 2016, n.32, pp.133-143. ISSN 2182-3030.  https://doi.org/10.15847/citiescommunitiesterritories.dec2016.033.art08.

1976 was called the second year of a new Portugal by L'Architecture d'Aujourd'hui, that published a thematic dossier about its architecture of the period. Showing the country's visibility from the April 25th 1974's revolution - which contrasted with pop culture's statement that the revolution would not be televised - it focused on the relation between architecture and the social transformation under way. Such attention would be crucial in the internationalization of Portuguese architecture, later well expressed by Álvaro Siza's significant role. After a period of enthusiasm, when all possibilities seemed open - whole and clean, in poet Sophia de Mello Breyner's words - the 'Portugal an II' dossier had an approach somewhat eclectic, which sought to synthesize the experience of the dictatorship period and then presented individual experiences of architects that designed basing on their own experiences and influences. Most of these authors had already their work published by Portuguese periodicals, and some of them were part of the group that had taken the lead of the debate in the Arquitectura journal, that symptomatically waned it's activity in the period after the revolution - it was no longer time to reflect and to debate, but to engage and to work. But what about before this zero year? How was it discussed architecture, urban space, the city, when the housing shortage was acute, and in Europe was questioning the city produced in the post-war period? This paper presents an analysis of that debate, reviewing disciplinary periodicals and relating it with the international perspective.
