1st International Congress of the History of Portuguese-Brazilian Construction
CALL:
The Federal University of Espírito Santo, the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro; the
Fluminense Federal University, the Technical University of Lisbon and Coimbra University,
through its research group participants the HCLB, would like to invite architects, engineers,
archaeologists, historians, sociologists, economists and other interested researchers to
participate and submit proposals for communication to the '1st International Congress of the
History of Portuguese-Brazilian construction' taking place in the city of Vitoria - Espirito Santo Brazil, 4th to 6th of September 2013.
For some time researchers in the field of 'The History of Construction' who come from the
most disparate areas of knowledge of the social and hard sciences have been organizing
efforts to collect and exchange information in order to update research. Results of these
efforts have been realised in the recent congresses and meetings on 'The History of
Construction' which have occurred both nationally and internationally. Brazilian and
Portuguese researchers recently saw the 'First Conference of the History of Construction in
Portugal: Alignments and Foundations', which took place in Lisbon in 2010 and also the
'Seminar on the History of Portuguese-Brazilian Construction' which was held in Victoria in
2011. It is true that both events had a limited scope, but were important nonetheless in
starting a discussion on this interdisciplinary subject. The Congress aims to be the first
international meeting and open forum that is able to bring together researchers from all parts
of the world interested in the history of Portuguese-Brazilian construction in its finest aspects:
THEMATIC AREAS OF CONGRESS:
A. Materials and technology.
Historical studies, archaeological and laboratory building materials, construction processes and
related historical techniques. Technical limitation imposed by materials. The emergence of
new materials and subsequent technological development.
B. The diffusion of technical knowledge.

The formation of military engineering, of architects and mechanical officers. The role of the
builder. The transmission of knowledge; guilds, academic and technical literature.
C. Art, culture and society.
