Resumen de Manuel Gomes da Costa, a universe in sketches
The exhibition held in 2009 in Faro, Portugal, about the work of Manuel Gomes da Costa (1921–2016), “MGC, moderno ao Sul”, had among the exposed material some sketches of the architect dating from 1951 and 1952, when he began his professional career. Twenty-eight formats with heterogeneous thematic calligraphic drawings representing a major source of information for the analysis of the architect’s work: their ideas, concerns, aspirations, tastes, influences. They reflect a process of research initiated at an early stage of his career that will pay off later and will result in his built work, mainly in the first two decades of his professional work, between the 50s and the 60s.
