Scritto nel 1962 per il conseguimento della cattedra universitaria, Dell’organizzazione dello spazio va ben al di là della contingenza accademica e pone il tema dello spazio alla base di un’indagine sul complesso sistema di relazioni che intercorrono tra architettura e città, architetto e uomo. “Ogni uomo crea forma, organizza il suo spazio. E se le forme sono condizionate dalla circostanza”, scrive infatti Távora, “allo stesso modo esse producono circostanza, o, in altre parole, l’organizzazione dello spazio, che è condizionata, si trova a diventare fattore condizionante”. Al problema della generazione e della metamorfosi delle forme si accosta qui quello della dimensione spazio-temporale, che apre il campo da un lato a una serie di questioni relative alla percezione e al movimento, dall’altro all’analisi di aspetti sociali, politici e culturali da cui l’architettura non può prescindere. Attraverso l’analisi di casi concreti Távora restituisce, in tutta la sua peculiarità e vivacità, il clima culturale portoghese alle soglie dell’ultimo decennio di dittatura, ma soprattutto delinea un’idea di architettura come “attitudine alla visione globale dei fenomeni dello spazio”, “opera collettiva di partecipazione”, persino “creazione di felicità”.

"This book explores new architectural and design perspectives on the contemporary urban condition. While architects and urban designers have long maintained that their actions, drawings and buildings are 'post-critical', this book seeks to expand the critical dimension of architecture and urbanism. In a series of historical and theoretical studies, this book examines how the materialities, forms and practices of architecture and urban design can act as a critique towards the new urban condition. It not only proposes new concepts and theories, but also instruments of analysis and reflection to better understand the current counter-hegemonic tendencies in both disciplinary strategies and appropriation tactics. The diversely international selection of essays, from Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, the United States and the Netherlands, combine different theoretical and empirical perspectives into a new analysis of the city and architecture. Demonstrating the need for new critical urban and architectural thinking that engages with the challenges and processes of the contemporary urban condition, this volume will be a thought-provoking read for academics and students in architecture, urban design, geography, political science and more"--
