Architect Silva Júnior and the Estoril project: Guided tour
As part of the exhibition “The Invention of Estoril: History in Photography (1914-1955)”, here's an invitation to take part in a special tour guided by Helena Gonçalves Pinto, who will introduce us to the unique and versatile work of architect António Rodrigues da Silva Júnior (1868-1937).
The work of this architect, who designed hundreds of projects in the most diverse areas, as evidenced by his collection deposited by Casa do Alentejo in the Cascais Municipal Historical Archive, was also marked by important interventions in the municipality of Cascais, namely in Estoril, where he would materialize architect Henri Martinet's project for the “Maritime, Climatic, Thermal and Sporting Station”, designed in 1914 by Fausto de Figueiredo.
