ABSTRACT

This work addresses the stimulating link between two brothers – both final year architecture students – and a teacher/supervisor at the Lisbon School of Architecture, Universidade de Lisboa, during their work for the Master’s final exams. This interaction had deepened the hypersensitivity of both students, transmitted in a powerful representation of their ideas, under the aegis of the emotions generated in mental processes that resulted in the creativity of the freehand drawing and new graphic representation systems of spaces through computing. The supervision had various didactic and pedagogical attention concerning the consideration given to alternative cultures and creative responses derived from the specific traits of the different generations in the course of the varied processes of criteria and development of the work. Based on the different dispositions and procedures between the three players, identical paths were observed, which became the common denominator for the work to run smoothly. It was not about any teaching-related utopia or hallucination, but rather about their common work to create extraordinary architectural solutions through the creation of the mind and emotions. The result was the highest grade for both of them, three awards in prestigious architectural competitions, and currently working at one of the most recognized contemporary Portuguese architecture firms.
