ABSTRACT
Cabral was the pioneer responsible for the introduction of Landscape Architecture in Portugal, struggling for the profession’s affirmation.
At sensibly the same time, Portugal’s government, organized the expansion of the tourism industry in the country. One of the main instruments for tourism promotion was the “Panorama” magazine, an innovative state-of-the-art communication instrument, in which Cabral collaborated, addressing landscape architecture related themes.
Through an analysis of these articles and their contents, along with a contextualization of the “Panorama” magazine and wider political views of the Estado Novo for the country, we are set on demonstrating the groundbreaking impact of the theoretical body of Cabral’s landscape architecture approach, as well as the utility of this collaboration for the promotion of the discipline, while addressing the implications of his German influences.
