Birth Date 1920-12-13 Birthplace Porto Death Date 1967-06-24 Training Institution Escola de Belas Artes do Porto Occupation Architect Biographical Text João Henrique de Mello Breyner Andresen was born in Porto on December 13, 1920. He was a well-known Portuguese architect, brother of Sophia de Melo Breyner, a prestigious writer, Tomás de Melo Breyner Andresen and Gustavo António de Melo Breyner Andresen and son of João Henrique Andresen and Maria Amelia de Melo Breyner. He is has Danish descendance from the paternal side and, from the maternal side, of the 4th Earl of Mafra. He spent all his childhood and youth in the city of Porto and married Maria Margarida de Mendoça de Sousa. In 1939 he started to study architecture at the Escola de Belas Artes of Porto, where he graduated in 1948. He quickly grew up in the academic sector and in 1948 he served as assistant professor in the chair of “Urbanization Projects and Works”. A little over a decade later, in 1961, he won the contest for effective teacher, with the dissertation “For a more human city”. His professional career is very prestigious. He associated himself several times with other architects in different projects, namely with Cristiano Moreira and Januário Godinho. His work is, in turn, greatly influenced by the signs of time, especially by post-war international currents. His main influences were architects such as Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer and Siegfried Giedion. From them he withdrew elements of the international modernist architecture and the vernacular architecture, absorbing also, especially from Breuer, the logic of the binuclear house, with a day space and a night space. In his portfolio we can find these marks, highlighting here the dwellings in Lamego, Carreço, Valongo and Caxias in the late 1940s and early 1950s, the project for the “Canadian House of the Future” in 1954, the Pousada de Valença, built between 1954 and 1963, a controversial work caused by the architect's modernist clash with the client’s traditionalist and picturesque environment request, the project for the Infante D. Henrique Monument contest in 1957, together with the sculptor Salvador Barata Feyo and the painter Júlio Resende, the Viana do Castelo Market, the project for the Calouste Gulbenkian Building of the National Civil Engineering Laboratory (LNEC) in 1958, the English Club of Porto and the Lisbon Palace of Justice in 1962, the preliminary project for the Câmara de Viana do Castelo and the headquarters of Sogrape in 1964. He was also quite prominent in the area of urbanism, having made urbanization plans for Sernancelhe in 1951 and Penacova in 1952, development lanes for Quinta da Marinha in Cascais in 1961, Ponta da Piedade in Lagos in 1963 and Reis Magos in Madeira in 1964, and detailed plans for the Ramalde Welfare Federation in Porto in 1949, Bragança in 1955 and Cabo Mor in Vila Nova de Gaia in 1974. His participation in international contests, such as the “Canadian House of the Future”, was instrumental in helping to re-launch Portuguese architecture into the international landscape and production. He was a member of the International Congress of Modern Architecture (CIAM) and was one of the founders of the Organization of Modern Architects (ODAM) in Porto. João Anderson died at the age of 46 in Porto, on June 24, 1967. Bibliography "João Andresen". In Universidade do Porto Website, [online].
