He was a Portuguese engineer, having worked as a Public Works Inspector Engineer, as Director of National Buildings and Monuments and as Vice-President of the Administrative Commission of New University Facilities. He was also the engineer responsible for the works of the Faculdade de Letras, the Faculdade de Direito and the Reitoria da Universidade de Lisboa, witch, as a central element of the institution, received a distinctive architectural configuration from the Faculties, with an emphasis on the artistic decoration and the techniques used, which are in line with the spirit of grandeur intended. He was also the engineer responsible for other major works in the national context, such as Hospital de Santa Maria, Hospital Dona Estefânia and Escola Industrial e Comercial of Bragança. He was also president of the Section of Economic Houses, one of the first initiatives of economic accommodation in Portugal. It was even in this program that the engineer launched Raúl Lino, defending to Duarte Pacheco, Minister of Works and Public and Communications, in 1934, that the architect was an expert in the rhetoric of the “Portuguese House”, a central issue for the years to come on the artistic representation of the dictatorship. Still in life, he was awarded several decorations. The Degree of Grande-Oficial of Ordem do Infante D. Henrique, Oficial of Ordem Militar de Avis, Oficial of Ordem Militar de Santiago, Grande Oficial of Ordem Militar de Cristo and Comendador of Ordem da Instrução Pública.

Birth Date 1908-07-27 Birthplace Ílhavo Death Date 1975-06-26 Training Institution Ghent University Occupation Civil Engineer Entrepreneur Biographical Text Ângelo Ramalheira was born on July 27, 1908, in Ílhavo. Son of João Ramalheira, he studied until the high school in Aveiro, Viana do Castelo and Lisbon. In the capital, he studied at the Colégio Francês and showed great skills in Mathematics. From there he went to Belgium, where, at the University of Ghent, he graduated in Civil Engineering with a specialization in reinforced concrete. Bringing technical knowledge from abroad, having been a student of Gustave Magnel, expert in reinforced concrete and pre-stressed construction techniques, engineer Ângelo Ramalheira was one of the main responsible for raising awareness of the engineer figure and his importance in collaborating with the purpose of creating large spaces with large span roofs, the building of terraces that characterized the pure cubic volumes that urban modernity at the time demanded. Returning to Portugal, after graduation, he began to work in offices of competence, moving the attention of those around him by the exceptional practical sense revealed in solving problems. Construction began to seduce him and he was already a building engineer responsible for hard calculations, such as large yield blocks, multi-storey garages, and concert halls. One of his first works in Portugal was precisely the mythical headquarters of the newspaper “O Diário de Notícias”, on Avenida da Liberdade, in Lisbon. In this same work he deepened a friendship that would prove lasting with the architect Porfírio Pardal Monteiro, author of the building project. He left an extensive work portefolio, from the Instituto Português de Oncologia and Hospital de São João, true standards of civil construction, to the boldest constructions, such as the Companhia Industrial de Portugal e das Colónias, where sliding cellular molds were used, until speed disconcerting with the construction of the new Sports Pavillion of the Palácio de Cristal in Porto. Other important works of him, authentic marks of 20th century architecture and engineering, are the Ritz Hotel in Lisbon, the Atlantic Hotel in Cascais, the Cinearte and Monumental Theater in Lisbon, and the Cine-Avenida Theater in Aveiro. He was also a pioneer in the use of prestressed in Portugal, used for the first time in a structure of the Companhia Portuguesa de Siderurgia, in Leça do Balio. In 1950, the Portuguese Government, at the invitation of the European Organization for Economic Cooperation (OECE), asked him to represent the country in the centenary of the United States Association of Civil Engineers. He wrote several scientific articles, namely about his works, such as “Cinearte, o novo cinema” in Revista Técnica. Angelo Ramalheira died on June 26, 1975. Bibliography FONSECA, N. (2007).
