As Residncias Cistercienses em S. Bento de Cstris que se vm realizando desde 2013 tm como primeiro objectivo reinventar na contemporaneidade a densidade histrica do discurso cisterciense, integrando a realidade deste mosteiro tanto numa ampla geografia da Ordem de Cister em Portugal e na Europa, como na histria da regio e do pas. Inspiradas nas questes da Histria, da Arte, da Arquitectura, da Msica, do Patrimnio e da Paisagem, as Residncias Cistercienses em Cstris vm apostando no debate de questes actuais ligadas aos espaos monsticos e ao seu futuro, nomeadamente os cistercienses. Esta aposta concretiza-se tambm no presente trabalho, DO ESPRITO DO LUGAR. ESTTICA. SILNCIO, ESPAO, LUZ, resultado das I e II Residncias Cistercienses (2013 e 2014), e integra estudos que se reportam especialmente ao Silncio e s suas vrias linguagens e significados e s dimenses da Esttica monstico-religiosa, com algum privilgio para as temticas da Msica. A apropriao do mosteiro pelo silncio e pela msica e a apreciao do esplio musical e instrumental de S. Bento de Cstris permitem uma melhor percepo das diversidades conjunturais e dos seus ritmos, aliando-se s dimenses de valorizao patrimonial, eacompanhando-as de sugestes estticas na pintura, escultura, pintura mural, azulejaria, no sentido da fruio plena dos espaos. A riqueza deste evento, a Residncia Cisterciense no mosteiro de S. Bento de Cstris, permitir que o futuro deste patrimnio, de tanta diversidade e espessura histrico-cultural, continue a ser debatido e a justificar edies futuras resultantes dos trabalhos de investigao a apresentados e debatidos.

Lost in history, the ruin of Somapura Mahavihara was not recognized separated from its birthplace, i.e. nature, for more than 700 years. Yet, within its silent presence, the monument dominated the name of the region: Paharpur (land of hillock), according to its appearance surrounds by its flat land topography. Discovered in 1919, the single largest Buddhist Vihara (monastery) of ancient Bengal came into light, pronouncing the flourishing minute of Buddhist architecture, once dominant religious force of the subcontinent. The earliest historical monumental architecture of greater Asia, had long been deriving itself from the Buddhist monastic architecture as early as VI century BC. In line of history, the discovery of Somapura Mahavihara contributed attesting the sensitivities of a highly sophisticated architectonic typology of Vihara Architecture in the land of ancient Bengal. The recovery of Somapura Mahavihara was not only from its cradle of nature, but also from its remarkable existence imprinted in the reign of Pala dynasty (750 - 1155 AD) announcing the existential foothold of man in his nature. The existential foothold of Somapura Mahavihara comprises the factors, responsible in shaping the anchorage of the monument since the birth of Vihara architecture, as early as 530 BC. These factors not only denote the building technology in response to its environment but also the amalgamation of belief, upon which the dwellers transformed the site as a place announcing their existence on earth. This research paper aims at exploring the existential foothold of Somapura Mahavihara, in terms of its territorial, functional, structural, social, cultural, religious symbolic hierarchies of human achievement while clarifying the architectonic typology that shaped Somapura Mahavihara through evolution process of Vihara Architecture. This understanding intends to combine the archaeological knowledge with comparative architectural analysis of contemporary Viharas of ancient Bengal, to define the singularity of Somapura Mahavihara. In consequence, the glorious past of Somapura Mahavihara is intended to portray through identifying the relation of religious and functional rationalism with the connotation of art, architecture and belief moulded within natural forces, as one complete entity; RESUMO: Vihara Arquitetura: Definindo a posio existencial do sculo VIII Budista mosteiro Somapura Mahavihara de Bengala antiga. Perdidas na Histria, as runas de Somapura Mahavihara foram confundidas com uma montanha durante mais de setecentos anos. Contudo, no seu silncio presente, o monumento marcou a toponmia da regio; Paharpur significa a terra do outeiro, evidenciando a singularidade deste monumento numa regio dominada por uma extensa plancie. Em 1919, foi descoberto o maior mosteiro budista da antiga regio de Bengal, demonstrando a prosperidade da arquitectura budista. Temporalmente, a descoberta de Somapura Mahavihara contribuiu para atestar a evoluo e a sofisticao da tipologia arquitectnica denominada Arquitectura Vihara, existente na antiga regio de Bengal. A noo de pegada existencial de Somapura Mahavihara compreende os factores responsveis por moldar a ancoragem do monumento ao lugar em que se insere desde o incio da arquitectura Vihara, que remonta a 530 a.C. Estes factores evidenciam a tecnologia construtiva empregue para responder ao ambiente envolvente mas tambm a evoluo da religio, factores estes que os monges construtores consideraram ao transformar o lugar e anunciar a sua existncia na Terra. Esta investigao tem por objectivo explorar a noo de pegada existencial de Somapura Mahavihara, nas suas dimenses territoriais, funcionais, estruturais, sociais, culturais e nas hierarquias simblicas das realizaes humanas para clarificar a tipologia arquitectnica que deu forma a Somapura Mahavihara durante a evoluo da arquitectura Vihara. Este entendimento pretende combinar/cruzar o conhecimento arqueolgico com estudos arquitectnicos comparativos de Viharas na antiga regio de Bengal, com o objectivo de definir a singularidade de Somapura Mahavihara. Neste estudo estudar-se- tambm o confronto entre a dimenso religiosa e a artstica (divino vs. humano), integrados na arquitectura de Somapura Mahavihara em perfeita harmonia.

This is much more than a mere compilation of texts about Corbusian architecture. The articles gathered here focus on Le Corbusiers reflections about the public space of earlier times and its influence upon his own output, the relationship of his designs with the pre-existing city, and other subjects drawn from all periods of his career and training that clarify the affinity that he established with the past through urban design. They are very heterogeneous, pointing off in different directions and marking the most diverse interests. But at the same time they are interconnected, in that they seek to shed light on the affinity that Le Corbusier established with the past from the point of view of urban design, and open up new perspectives about the public space in his work and its controversial relationship with history. This special issue thus bears witness once again to Le Corbusiers inexhaustible legacy, but also to the usefulness of research on his work and thought a subject about which it seemed that everything had already been said when, paradoxically, we now know that there is still almost everything left to say.
