Abstract

This project investigates the impact of architectural graphic conceptualisation on the development of the Portuguese railway infrastructure, with a focus on architectural styles, construction techniques, and societal implications related to railway passenger buildings.
The objectives of the study involve a comprehensive analysis of historical perspectives, examining the graphic conceptualization related to architectural projects, especially considering the Industrial Revolution’s influence on architectural graphic ideation globally. The study also aims to explore the implementation of railway lines in Portugal, the standardization of construction techniques, and the role of architectural graphic conceptualization in shaping architectural models. Case studies, particularly contrasting the approaches of architects like Perfeito de Magalhães and Cottinelli Telmo, are employed to elucidate the divergence in architectural styles during the Estado Novo regime.
The expected results include revealing a dichotomy in architectural styles, with traditionalist regionalism coexisting alongside modernist influences during the Estado Novo regime. Railway passenger buildings are highlighted as symbolic representations of societal progress, embodying contradictory styles.
The article underscores the crucial role of architectural graphic conceptualization in capturing the multifaceted layers of Portugal’s railway development as well as emphasizes its shifts in societal perceptions, technological advancements, and political ideologies during the implementation of the Portuguese railway infrastructure.

The nomenclature of the presented models is provisory as this article is part of an ongoing PhD investigation and more models can still be identified.
 
2
Amongst the architects who worked in the Portuguese railway company, it was chosen two architects (Perfeito de Magalhães and Cottinelli Telmo) represent opposite visions that better illustrate the argument being presented.

“CP (Comboios de Portugal)” is the National Railway Company.

Cottinelli Telmo designed the passenger building for the Póvoa Station (1931–1932), which ended up never being constructed. With evidently modernist features, where each programmatic space corresponded to a volume that was read in the overall composition, Ferreira de Mesquita, the General Director of the Company, explicitly instructed the project leadership not to proceed with this project. He gave orders to refrain from designing in the futuristic style and insisted on adhering solely to the Portuguese style in stations of significant localities. [4] Hence, the architect went through a period of greater restraint, returning to the usual conventions in his projects for the railway company.

This is a stimulating question without a definitive answer at this point. It also serves as an invitation for those interested in the topic to engage in the ongoing discussion.
