The History of Water Management in the Iberian Peninsula between the 16th and 19th centuries.
The History of Water Management in the Iberian Peninsula between the 16th and 19th centuries.
(Birkhauser, 2020)
384pp. ISBN 978-3-030-34060-5 (print edition) / ISBN 78-3-030-34061-2 (e-book) [here]
Historiography on water management in the territory that is today Spain has highlighted the region’s role as a mediator between the Islamic masters of water and the Christian world. The history of water in Portugal is less known, and it has been taken for granted that is similar to its neighbour. This book compares two countries that have the same historical roots and, therefore, many similar stories, but at the same time, offers insights into particular aspects of each country.
What water devices were found? What were the models for these devices? How were they distributed in the villas and monastic enclosures? What impact did hydraulic theoretical knowledge have on these water systems, and how could these systems impact on hydraulic technology? Guided by these questions, this book covers the history of water in the most significant cities, the role of water in landscape transformation, the irrigation systems and water devices in gardens and villas, and, lastly, the theoretical and educational background on water management and hydraulics in the Iberian Peninsula between the sixteenth and the nineteenth centuries.

Gardens and Human Agency in the Anthropocene.
Gardens and Human Agency in the Anthropocene.
(Routledge, 2019)
238pp. ISBN 978-081-534-666-1 (print edition) / ISBN 978-135-117-024-6 (e-book) [here]
This volume discusses gardens as designed landscapes of mediation between nature and culture, embodying different levels of human control over wilderness, defining specific rules for this confrontation and staging different forms of human dominance.
The contributing authors focus on ways of rethinking the garden and its role in contemporary society, using it as a crossover platform between nature, science and technology. Drawing upon their diverse fields of research, including History of Science and Technology, Environmental Studies, Gardens and Landscape Studies, Urban Studies, and Visual and Artistic Studies, the authors unveil various entanglements woven in the past between nature and culture, and probe the potential of alternative epistemologies to escape the predicament of fatalistic dystopias that often revolve around the Anthropocene debate.

Horticultura para todos.
(Lisboa : Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal : Junta de Freguesia de Alvalade, 2017)
276pp. ISBN 978-972-565-605-1 [here]
Although little is currently heard about horticulture, possibly because it was incorporated into agronomy, this was a sophisticated branch of knowledge, an indicator of the level nation's civilizational. In the context of liberal Portugal, the development of horticulture became the standard for progress and unusual personalities made it possible to bring this applied science to the general public. Two unique personalities led this movement: José Marques Loureiro, in Porto, and Francisco Simões Margiochi, in Lisbon. Horticultura para Todos addresses these two figures, their circles, their network of international contacts, their activities and, above all, publications that aimed to disseminate the science of horticulture to the general public. Preface by Ana Simões.
This work follows the exhibition with the same name that took place at the National Library in 2016.

O gosto português na arte.
(Lisboa: Scribe, 2016)
120 pp. ISBN 979-989-8410-55-9 [here]
This book was a follow-up of the first book on taste published in 2014. We challenged art historians to reflect on the concept of taste in its various proposals and perceptions, framing it in the perspective of the total work of art. The novelty of the investigations carried out by Ana Duarte Rodrigues, Isabel Mendonça, Maria João Ferreira, Nuno Senos, Sílvia Ferreira, Susana Varela Flor and Vítor Serrão, allow us to conclude that “the Portuguese taste” is, after all, international, or at least, is full of international references. In this book, I addressed the transformation of the Fronteira garden made by the 8th marquis of Fronteira, educated in the United Kingdom.

This book is the third volume of the series of books Collection of Gardens and Landscape Studies, following The Garden as a Lab where cultural and ecological systems meet in the Mediterranean context (2014), and Gardens and Tourism for and beyond economic profit (2015).

The talks presented at the colloquium have been included in this volume in essay-format. They cover the study of different landscapes, both cultivated and designed, inside monastic enclosures such as cloister gardens.

Ana Duarte Rodrigues,
The multidisciplinary approach of art historians, landscape architects, biologists and horticulturalists gathered at the international colloquium “The Garden as a Lab where cultural and ecological systems meet in the Mediterranean context” held at the University of Évora on the 30th and 31st October 2014, coordinated by me and Aurora Carapinha, allowed us to go beyond disciplinary boundaries and provide a larger spectrum of analysis.
The Garden as a Lab intends to be part of a wider movement which seeks to a better understanding on how to save water, species choice and heritage identity. This colloquium and book was the starting point of the projects SUSBEAUTY that I developed some years later.

Taste, considered by many to be a structural concept for the understanding of art, has never, however, been addressed autonomously in the history of Portuguese art. This is a collective work coordinated by me and with texts by Alexandra Gago da Câmara, Ana Isabel Buescu, David Cranmer, José Alberto Ribeiro, Miguel Cabral de Moncada and Teresa Leonor do Vale, which aims to address the concept of taste in the most varied artistic expressions from the gardens to the opera, jewellery, tiles and exotic artefacts. In this book, I addressed the exquisite taste of D. João Mascarenhas who is the mind behind the gardens of the Palace of Fronteira.
