Birth Date 1869-10-18 Birthplace Porto Death Date 1947-06-06 Occupation Architect Teacher Training Institution Academia Portuense de Belas Artes (Escola de Belas Artes do Porto) École Nationale et Spéciale des Beaux-Arts Biographical Text José Marques da Silva was born in Porto on October 18, 1869. On the paternal side of his family he descended from agricultural workers, except for his father Bernardo Marques da Silva, who became a bricklayer and opened a materials workshop. His mother Maria Rosa Marques had in total ten children, being José Marques da Silva the oldest. He attended primary school and highschool at Ordem da Trindade School until 1851. Having worked in his father's materials workshop, he quickly gained aptitude and taste for the area, digging ground to enter the Portuense Academy of Belas Artes, where he entered in 1882. He was a student of António Geraldes da Silva Sardinha, João Marques de Oliveira and António Soares dos Reis. In 1889 he went to Paris to further his knowledge and studies, joining the École Nationale et Spéciale des Beaux-Arts in 1890. During his stay in the French capital he worked in the studio of Victor Laloux, author of Gare d'Orsay, and became friends with Teixeira Lopes, Ventura Terra, Veloso Salgado and António Nobre. He would return to Portugal in 1896, the same year he finished his degree in architecture. His activity grew quickly, having participated in both the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1900 and the Rio de Janeiro Exhibition of 1908. His designs were able to spread his mark for various decades and different cities. In the city of Porto and Braga, he designed the S. Bento Station in 1896, the working-class neighborhood "O Comércio do Porto" between 1899 and 1905, the Monument to the Heroes of the Peninsular War in 1909, the National Theater of S. João in 1910, the Four Seasons Building in 1905, the Alexandre Herculano high school in 1914, the Warehouses Nascimento in 1914, the House of Irmandade da Lapa between 1910 and 1915, the Rodrigues de Freitas high school in 1919, the Diário de Notícias building in Porto in 1825 and, among others, the House and Gardens of Serralves between 1925 and 1943. His brand was also felt in the city of Guimarães, having designed the Sociedade Martins Sarmento between 1903 and 1908, the Municipal Market between 1927 and 1947 and the Penha Sanctuary between 1930 and 1947. In Lisbon he participated in the conclusion of the works of the Jerónimos Monastery, in the revitalization of the São Bento Palace, the Lisbon Cathedral, and in the restoration of the Belas Artes School of Lisbon. Concerned for his activity, he traveled to Spain, England, France, Belgium and Germany in search of inspiration for his projects. In addition to being a great technician, José Marques da Silva was also important in the academic world. In 1900 he was invited to teach Design and Modeling at the Instituto Industrial e Comercial do Porto. In 1906 he was appointed professor of architecture at the Portuense Academy of Belas Artes, which was already called the Belas Artes School of Porto. Between 1913 and 1914 and later between 1918 and 1938 he was the director of this same school. He was also a professor and director of the Soares dos Reis Artistic School between 1914 and 1930. His connection to the drawing subject assured him the esteem of a generation of modern architects who, starting from the academic base sedimented by Marques da Silva, reinvented Porto’s architecture. Marques da Silva was, at last, involved in the Conselho Superior da Sociedade de Belas-Artes, being an associate almost all his life. He was the first associate of the Sociedade de Arquitetos do Norte. He was a collaborator in the Yearbook of the Sociedade Portuguesa de Arquitetos. He was also architect of the Porto City Hall, from 1904 to 1906. In the field of decorations, he was awarded, in 1908, the Official Degree of the Ordem de S. Tiago de Mérito Científico, Literário e Artístico. Already posthumously, he was awarded by the City Hall of Porto with the Gold Medal of the City and a street name in the Campo Alegre area. José Marques da Silva died on June 6, 1947, in Porto. Bibliography CARVALHO, A.
