Abstract
Este artigo centra-se no “Inquérito à Arquitetura Popular em Portugal”, uma importante pesquisa organizada pelo Sindicato Nacional dos Arquitetos, que se realizou entre 1955 e 1961. Recorrendo a depoimentos de alguns dos arquitetos que participaram na pesquisa, o seu objetivo principal é resgatar a memória do trabalho de campo realizado no âmbito do inquérito. A primazia é dada às falas dos arquitetos. Estas não só abordam – de uma forma muito viva – as rotinas, aventuras e peripécias do trabalho de campo, como nos dão um retrato – muito realista e marcado por algum sentido de humor – do Portugal rural dos anos 1950.
This paper is centred on the Survey of Portuguese Popular Architecture, organized between 1955 and 1961 by the Portuguese Union of Architects. Based on testimonies and interviews with some architects who conducted the Survey, the paper aims at recovering the memory of the fieldwork on which the Survey was based. The paper is mostly based on the transcription of the interviews. These not only vividly recover the routines, adventures and incidents of the fieldwork, but also provide a very realistic portrait of rural Portugal in the 1950s.
