Gondiães e Vilar de Cunhas · memory and landscape

A house with three granaries

In Casa de Chouzas, three 19th-century granaries join the solarengo building highlighted by the Municipality. The set approximates two functions: inhabit and guard the harvest. Instead of looking only at the main house, it is also worth recognizing the importance of agricultural support constructions. The presentation of Vilar de Cunhas places this heritage in a plateau and mountain landscape, marked by agriculture and pastoral care. The house and the granaries can be read in this work context, without the source detailing the production of each property. The dating of the house is less firm: the municipality presents it as perhaps 19th century, while assigning the granaries to the 19th century. This difference must remain visible. The photo accompanying the reading shows the portal; it does not show the three granaries. The asset reference does not confirm access to the set.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Look at the photo of the portal and list only the elements you can see.
  2. Compared to the three granaries mentioned in the text: what depends on the written description?
  3. Imagine a caption that distinguishes the frame of the photograph from the remaining patrimonial set.

A proposal to make at your pace, without collecting copies.

PROPOSTA 2 DE 2 · Crafts and memories

Two colors, two informations

Pedraça · inventoried object 2015

One almude, two colors in memory

The Almude L023, associated with Casa de Passo de Vides, in Pedraça, served to transport and measure wine. The 2015 chip gives it 28 liters and describes zinc plate painted brown, with paint to be peeled; the original color was blue. The capacity belongs to this invented piece, not to all almudes. Even a layer of paint helps tell the life of an object. The record indicates 55 cm tall and 28 in diameter and identifies Jacqueline Vilela Passos as owner. External measurement, capacity and property are distinct information: joints make the description more useful than the name of the object alone. The brown paint and traces of blue also show that a piece may have been transformed throughout use. The inventory doesn't give the repainting date. The observation of the ink allows to count a change, but not reconstruct all the episodes of the almude's life.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Split a sheet between the original color and the color described in the inventory.
  2. Write down on each side the color indicated by the source.
  3. Adds a question that the text does not answer, such as the date the object was repainted.

Reading exercise of a historical description; it is not a restoration proposal.
