Interior and furniture Design for special rooms (rector’s office and lounge, small dining room, Senate meeting room, main hall, amphitheatre for major ceremonies and professors’ lounge) and Aula Magna [main auditorium].
Daciano da Costa’s project for the Rectorate of the University of Lisbon was his first major commission after opening a studio in his name, which he did in 1959. Designed by Porfírio Pardal Monteiro (1897-1957) in 1952, alongside the Faculties of Letters and Law, the Rectorate building was the crowning monument in the central avenue of the University Campus of Lisbon, at Campo Grande, following the plan he had drawn in 1935.
Daciano da Costa was responsible here for characterizing the most meaningful spaces through the design of the architectural elements, the cladding, the fittings and the furniture, by defining the detail and by choosing the colours and materials.
