Architecture</em>, commonly known as the <em>Survey</em>, promoted by the
Portuguese Architects’ Union, benefitting from official government support, was
carried out between 1955 and 1960 and was conducted by some of the Portuguese
modern architects.</font></font></span></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">
</font><p><span style="" lang="EN"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">A survey on vernacular
architecture, entitled <em>Inquérito à Arquitectura Regional Portuguesa</em>
[Survey on Regional Architecture in Portugal] was promoted by the Architects’
Union between 1955 and 1960. It benefited from official government support and
was conducted by some of the main modern architects. It come out as a two
volume book – <em>Popular Architecture in Portugal</em> – published in 1961 and
reprinted in 1979, 1988 and 2004.<em> </em></font></font></span></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">
</font><p><span style="" lang="EN"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">Taken from the outset as being
able to provide “the basis for an honest, active and healthy regionalism” (Keil
do Amaral, 1947), the Survey, and the book it prompted, had great influence on
Portuguese architectural culture. As it was accomplished in an historical
turning point, when some of the principles of Modern Movement were being critically
reviewed both nationally and internationally, the Survey’s outcomes encouraged
modern architects to recover national history and tradition.</font></font></span></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">
</font><p><span style="" lang="EN"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">Moreover, the Portuguese Survey
on vernacular architecture constitutes a remarkable register of the ancient rural
country at the exact moment it was about to disappear. This fact would also
guarantee its importance to other fields of study, such as anthropology,
history, and photography.</font></font></span></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">
