The unanticipated success of his first two buildings launched a career that has since proved rich and prolific.

Missao Portugal 2007
In the second half of 2007, the baton of the EU Council Presidency was passed to Portugal. The country decided to hold the majority of the planned meetings, conferences and summits centralised at a location in Lisbon. The chosen venue was the Sala Tejo of the Pavilhao Atlantico, which was converted to host the meetings on the future of Europe, culminating in the Treaty of Lisbon. The architects commissioned for this project, Baixa, Atelier de Arquitectura, successfully gave the venue - as well as the event - an impressive identity, marked by Portuguese culture and contemporary architecture. This book pays tribute to this ephemeral piece of architecture with a comprehensive collection of sketches, drawings and photos. In the accompanying and introductory texts, the project is viewed through the eyes of two well-known architecture critics as well as the Head of Mission of the Portuguese Presidency.

Heinz Tesar Architecture of Layers
Heinz Tesar's architecure is associated with holistic ideas, and it is value-conservative in this sense. But at the same time, the architecture relates to its time, is modern, frank and open to consensus in a subjective dialectic between connection and isolation. However, the holistic concept is not concerned with hierarchical orders, but with relative weighting in a denomination process. He works from a fictitious, almost ritualized dialog situation, in which the levels for coming closer to a building idea can be accessed - in terms of drawing and of building itself.

Planning Rural Landscapes
Appealing to a broad audience, this book bridges different issues, from landscape to ecosystems, planning to implementation, and policies to local community willingness. This book outlines a methodology for defining green infrastructure (GI) in rural landscapes, showing how it underpins ecosystem services (ES) and aligns with various European Union (EU) directives. There are presented examples in Portuguese rural landscapes alongside international initiatives from several countries.Building on the concept of landscape as an open, autopoietic system with distinct resilience thresholds, the book demonstrates how GI serves as a versatile framework to support ES, implement nature-based solutions and the more recent Nature-Futures-Framework scenarios. Through real-world studies, the authors illustrate its flexibility and applicability across different scales and environments while respecting each location's unique characteristics.Written for planners, designers, policymakers, and academic institutions, this book offers a valuable resource for supporting sustainable land management, public policy formulation, planning, and innovative design practices, fostering informed debate on these topics and advancing eco-conscious initiatives for a sustainable future.
