Seven Circles

08/10/2018

The book «Seven Circles / Seven Circles», edited by Pedro Campos Costa and Eduardo Costa Pinto, aims to question the limits of the contemporary city from a new reading of the territory of Lisbon. These seven circles are concentric, with the center in the Marquês de Pombal Square. While Tiago Casanova photographed the smaller circle, corresponding to the old fernandina wall and Duarte Belo photographed the larger circle, delimited by the watershed of the river Tagus, the editors photographed the intermediate circles. For each of the circles were invited two authors from different disciplinary areas, creating different perspectives on the city of Lisbon:
C1. The historian José Sarmento de Matos and the architect Gonçalo Byrne;
C2. The landscape architect João Nunes and the writer Gonçalo M. Tavares;
C3. The architect Javier Arpa Fernandez and the artist Filippo Minelli;
C4. The engineer Mário Alves and the researcher Olivia Bina;
C5. The philosopher Adriana Veríssimo Serrão and the geographer Francesc Muñoz;
C6. The urbanist Michael Sorkin and the geographer Álvaro Domingues;
C7. The landscape architect Mary Bowman and the geographer Eduardo Brito-Henriques.
