Guest Editors: Igea Troiani (LSBU), Joan Mac Donald (U. Chile), Jorge Tárrago Mingo (ETSAUN)

ESCUELA TÉCNICA SUPERIOR DE ARQUITECTURA | UNIVERSIDAD DE NAVARRA – APRIL 12 - 16:00 to 17:00

ENG
The scopio Editions project and Sophia Journal presentation will take place on April 12 - 16:00 to 17:00, 2024, at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura | Universidad de Navarra. 

Asier Santas, the director of the architecture department at the University of Navarra, will open the session. The scopio Editorial Project and Sophia Journal presentation will be the responsibility of Pedro Leão Neto (Editor-in-Chief of the publication), who will open the floor for any questions concerning the editorial project and Sophia Journal.

Unlocking Architectural Discourse and Ideas: scopio Editorial Project

At its core, scopio Editions focuses on contemporary photography related to architecture, the urban landscape, and territories. The presentation will allow to understand the "why" and "how" of scopio, elucidating its nuclear role in stimulating discussions and nurturing ideas within the realm of architecture through the lens of photography.

The presentation intends to highlight the tangible impact of this editorial endeavour, manifesting in a remarkable series of publications in both magazine and book formats, namely the academic journals on the U.Porto OJS platform—Sophia Journal —bridging the worlds of photography, architecture, and art.

This editorial project is closely affiliated with the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto (FAUP) and its Centre for Architecture and Urbanism Studies (CEAU) and it has played a pivotal role increating a network of researchers and initiatives around this universe of common interest as in the the present forthcoming conference - Landscapes of Care: Public housing across multiple geographies - crossing theories and practices. 

Sophia Journal

Sophia Journal is an international academic, open access, peer-reviewed journal, published by the Centre for Studies in Architecture and Urbanism (CEAU) - Research group Architecture, Art and Image (AAI) at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Porto, Portugal (FAUP), in collaboration with the association Cityscopio and their publishing imprint scopio Editions.

Landscapes of Care: Public housing across multiple geographies: crossing theories and practices

Sophia Journal's third thematic, “Landscapes of Care”, addresses research, projects, experiences, and contemporary photographic and visual practices that focus on how architecture, understood in a broad sense, can help to heal the relationships between man and habitat, as well as the socio-environmental crisis that the planet is experiencing.

This issue, focusing on public housing, allows contributions to be centered on a dynamic reading of the city that is conditional and conditioned by housing typology. Combining architecture, public housing, habitat, and urban planning, we are convoking works that explore an interpretative narrative about housing and those who live in it, pilot projects with communities of practice capable of generating strategic visions about the possible future of city and territory, housing and the lives it (trans)forms, in this ontological relationship between the Man and house.

A apresentação scopio Editorial Project: A Catalyst for Architectural Discourse and Ideas integrou o programa rico e diversificado de autores e especialistas de renome internacional que participaram neste evento do RIBA.

O Dia de Estudo sobre fotografia de arquitetura teve o seu início na parte da manhã com um painel de discussão em volta dos Arquivos e Coleções Fotográficas, sendo seguido por apresentações individuais que abordaram temas como o do significado e relação da Fotografia com a Arquitetura e qual o futuro deste media na era digital.

A Apresentação do Projeto Editorial scopio

Durante a sessão da tarde, Pedro Leão Neto teve o privilégio de apresentar o projeto editorial da scopio a uma audiência composta por especialistas e estudiosos de renome internacional. Foi assim explicado o "porquê" e o "como" o projeto editorial scopio que tem como principal interesse a Fotografia Contemporânea relacionada com Arquitetura, Cidade e Território, tem tido um papel fundamental para estimular debates e fomentar ideias no campo disciplinar da arquitetura através da fotografia.

A apresentação destacou também o impacto significativo que este projeto editorial tem alcançado, manifestando-se através de uma notável série de publicações, tanto em formato de revista quanto de livro. Adicionalmente, foi revelada a criação de duas revistas académicas em suporte físico e online através da plataforma U.Porto OJS - Sophia Journal e scopio Magazine AAI - que interligam os mundos da fotografia, arquitetura e arte.

Programação de proeminentes oradores

O Dia de Estudo do RIBA Photo Festival foi enriquecido por um grupo distinto de oradores, cada um contribuindo com sua perspectiva única:

  • Angelo Maggi, an associate professor of the history of photography and architectural history at Università Iuav di Venezia, Italy.

  • Richard Pare, a renowned photographer and the founding curator of the photography collection at the Canadian Centre for Architecture.

  • Gary Van Zante, curator of architecture, design, and photography collections at the MIT Museum.

  • Irena Murray HonFRIBA, an esteemed architectural historian and curator, chaired the event.

  • Ágnes Anna Sebestyén, an art historian and curator at the Hungarian Museum of Architecture and Monument Protection Documentation Centre, brought her insights to the table.

  • Neal Shasore, the Head of School and Chief Executive at the London School of Architecture, shared his expertise.

  • Marco Iuliano, an Italian architect teaching at the University of Liverpool School of Architecture (LSA), provided valuable perspectives.

O rico programa do RIBA Photo Festival incluiu o ciclo de Palestras The Colin Rowe Lecture series, que teve como oradora convidada a fotógrafa suíço-francesa Hélène Binet, bem como o lançamento da exposição Wide-Angle View de fotografia, com uma visita curatorial de Valeria Carrulo, curadora de Fotografia do RIBA e editora do catálogo da exposição.

O ciclo de palestras Colin Rowe tem como objetivo discutir o papel da imagem na arquitetura, particularmente o papel crucial da fotografia de arquitetura. Hélène Binet apresentou um discurso brilhante, resumindo alguns dos momentos mais significativos de seu trabalho ao longo de mais de 35 anos, capturando tanto a arquitetura contemporânea quanto a histórica.

A exposição de fotografia Wide-Angle View olha para o Manplan e apresenta fotografias de reconhecidos profissionais como Ian Berry, Patrick Ward e Tony Ray-Jones na Galeria de Arquitetura do RIBA no centro de Londres, que é gratuita e aberta a todos.

O Dia de Estudo do RIBA Photo Festival constituiu um vibrante intercâmbio de ideias e inspiração, lançando luz sobre a interseção entre os mundos da Arquitetura e da Fotografia, e a scopio Editions provou ser um interessante e crítico mote editorial que contribuiu para enriquecer esse debate.

by Pedro Leão Neto, University of Porto

RIBA Photo Festival study day: collecting architectural photography

PT/ENG
On November 10th, 2023, the RIBA Photo Festival study was enriched by the presentation of the scopio editorial project. Presented by Pedro Leão Neto, a lecturer and researcher at FAUP (Faculty of Architecture, University of Porto), and the coordinator of scopio Editions and the Architecture, Art, and Image (AAI) research group within the Centre for the Study of Architecture and Urbanism (CEAU), this event was a captivating journey into the world of architectural photography.

Unlocking Architectural Discourse and Ideas: scopio Editorial Project

Titled "scopio Editorial Project: A Catalyst for Architectural Discourse and Ideas," the presentation smoothly integrated RIBA’s diverse program featuring an international array of speakers, including esteemed specialists and emerging scholars.

The study day began with an engaging panel discussion about the archives and collections of architectural photography. This was followed by individual presentations, fostering lively debates on topics such as the significance of photography in architecture and the future of this medium in our digital age.

Pedro Leão Neto's Insightful Presentation

During this enlightening session, Pedro Leão Neto had the privilege of introducing the scopio editorial project to an audience comprised of specialists and scholars in the field. At its core, scopio Editions focuses on contemporary photography related to architecture, the urban landscape, and territories. Neto delved into the "why" and "how" of scopio, elucidating its nuclear role in stimulating discussions and nurturing ideas within the realm of architecture through the lens of photography.

Moreover, the presentation highlighted the tangible impact of this editorial endeavour, manifesting in a remarkable series of publications in both magazine and book formats. Additionally, the creation of two online academic journals on the U.Porto OJS platform—Sophia Journal and scopio Magazine AAI—was unveiled, bridging the worlds of photography, architecture, and art.

An Inspiring Lineup of Speakers

The RIBA Photo Festival study day was enriched by a distinguished set of speakers, each contributing their unique perspective:

  • Angelo Maggi, an associate professor of the history of photography and architectural history at Università Iuav di Venezia, Italy.

  • Richard Pare, a renowned photographer and the founding curator of the photography collection at the Canadian Centre for Architecture.

  • Gary Van Zante, curator of architecture, design, and photography collections at the MIT Museum.

  • Irena Murray HonFRIBA, an esteemed architectural historian and curator, chaired the event.

  • Ágnes Anna Sebestyén, an art historian and curator at the Hungarian Museum of Architecture and Monument Protection Documentation Centre, brought her insights to the table.

  • Neal Shasore, the Head of School and Chief Executive at the London School of Architecture, shared his expertise.

  • Marco Iuliano, an Italian architect teaching at the University of Liverpool School of Architecture (LSA), provided valuable perspectives.

  • The event was skillfully moderated by Iñaki Bergera, a photographer, architect, and Full Professor at the University of Zaragoza.

The rich programme of RIBA Photo Festival included The Colin Rowe Lecture series, which had as invited speaker the Swiss-French photographer Hélèn Binet, as well as the Wide-Angle View photography exhibition, with RIBA´s curator tour and Editor of the exhibition´s catalog Valeria Carrulo.

The Colin Rowe Lecture series aims to discuss the role of the image in architecture, particularly the crucial role of architectural photography and Hélène Binet presented as with a brilliant speech, summarizing some of the most significant moments of her work over a period of more than 35 years that has captured both contemporary and historic architecture.

The Wide-Angle View photography exhibition looks at Manplan and presents photography from renowned professionals such as Ian Berry, Patrick Ward and Tony Ray-Jones at RIBAS’s Architecture Gallery in central London which is free and open to all. 

The RIBA Photo Festival study day was a vibrant exchange of ideas and inspiration, shedding light on the important intersection of architecture and photography, and scopio Editions proved to be an interesting and critical editorial motto that contributed for the enrichment of this discourse.
