Fac-simile

Architecture Internship Report by Eduardo Souto de Moura revisits a manuscript produced in 1980, a document that for decades circulated through curiosity and partial access. This facsimile edition fully reproduces the original report, bringing back its material presence while pairing it with a second volume that transcribes the handwritten text into a readable form. Between reproduction and translation, the publication reflects on memory, authorship, and the persistence of architectural thought. Divided into two volumes, the work establishes a dialogue between image and text. One presents the facsimile, preserving the gestures, marks, and rhythms of the original document; the other offers a transcription that unfolds its content with clarity. Together, they form a double reading—one visual and immediate, the other interpretative and mediated. This edition is part of the program of Casa da Arquitectura and echoes the broader interest in revisiting archival materials within contemporary architectural discourse. It reflects on the significance of Eduardo Souto de Moura’s early work and on the continued fascination that this report has generated across different generations.
