Inhabiting auteur architecture: Tracing the residents' experience of Álvaro Siza's Bouça housing estate
Viver numa casa do Siza: A experiência da arquitetura de autor na Malagueira, Évora
Este artigo retoma os estudos sobre a casa e o habitar desenvolvidos pela Antropologia e pela Arquitetura portuguesas, acrescentando-lhes um olhar vindo das geografias da arquitetura, para de seguida explorar a forma como os habitantes de edifícios de arquitetura de autor experienciam as suas casas e os seus bairros no quotidiano. Focando-se no caso do bairro da Malagueira em Évora, projetado por Álvaro Siza Vieira no final dos anos 70 para alber…
Autonomy, Erasure, and Persistence in the Urban Gardening Commons
Collective gardening spaces have existed across Lisbon, Portugal for decades. This article attends to the makeshift natures made by black migrants from Portugal's former colonies, and the racial urban geography thrown into relief by the differing fortunes of white Portuguese community gardening spaces. Conceptualising urban gardens as commons‐in‐the‐making, we explore subaltern urbanism and the emergence of autonomous gardening commons on the one…
Emplaced mobilities: Lisbon as a translocality in the migration journeys of Punjabi Sikhs to Europe
The arrival in Portugal of recent migrants from the Indian subcontinent is normally a secondary movement from within Europe tied to the search for a regular pathway into legal integration in the EU. However, as favourable migration policy is not paired with easy economic integration onward migration is common. We argue that such complex migration strategies cannot be amply explored through an origin–destination model; instead we suggest that a tr…
Interfaces of informality: When experts meet informal settlers
What happens at the interface of states and urban poor populations that live in informal settlements? How are academic disciplines, such as law, architecture or economics, and technical instruments, such as computer software, summoned to the interactions between experts from state or city governments and the laypeople whose housing and lives the former’s work is meant to improve? This paper reflects on these questions as it examines two different…
Global Gentrifications: Uneven Development and Displacement
The Slum Multiple: A Cyborg Micro-history of an Informal Settlement in Lisbon
This article proposes a cyborg reading of the process of informal settlement by internal and postcolonial immigrants in Lisbon's periphery from the 1970s to the present. Cyborg does not stand for a neo-organicist or cybernetic understanding of the informal city but rather for the conjunction of the multiple enactments of city life under conditions of urban informality-in this case the fourfold combination ofhistory/migration;architecture/low-fi t…
