Birth Date 1922-05-25 Birthplace Lisboa Training Institution Instituto Superior de Agronomia (ISA) Occupation Landscape Architect Agronomist Engineer Ecologist Politician Teacher Biographical Text Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles was born in Lisbon on May 25, 1922. He is a Portuguese landscape architect, agronomist engineer, ecologist and politician. He graduated in Agricultural Engineering and completed the Free Course in Landscape Architecture at the Instituto Superior de Agronomia of the Universidade Técnica de Lisboa (ISA) in 1950. As a liberal professional he developed a set of projects at various scales of the landscape, such as private and public gardens, private and public parks, green corridors, road implantation, quarry restoration, restoration of recreational farms, landscape integration of factories, rural and territorial planning. He began his professional life in the services of the Lisbon City Council. From 1951 to 1953, he was part of the Arborization and Gardening Bureau, becoming in 1955 the landscape architect of the CML Urbanization Studies Office, headed by engineer Guimarães Lobato, where he remained until 1960. From 1971 to 1974 he directed, still as a landscape architect, the Housing Development Fund's Biophysical and Green Space Planning Sector. The most striking project of his career is probably the garden of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, which he signed with António Viana Barreto and earned them the Valmor Award of 1975. Other projects, however, also marked his career as a landscape architect, namely the Alcântara Valley and Benfica Radial, the Chelas Valley, the Peripheral Park, the Monsanto Green Corridor, the Integration into the Lisbon Main Green Structure of the Eastern and Western Riverside, the public space of the Estacas Neighborhood in Alvalade , the gardens of São Jerónimo Chapel in Restelo, the vegetation of the hill of São Jorge Castle and the Amália Rodrigues Garden, next to Eduardo VII Park. He also dedicated part of his life to politics. He was a member of the Catholic Agrarian and Rural Youth member, a youth structure linked to the Portuguese Catholic Action. He was always a strong opponent of Estado Novo and Salazar, having founded and encouraged various parties and commissions, such as the Independent Monarchists Movement, the Electoral Commission for Democratic Unity (CEUD), the result of a coalition with the lists of Mario Soares in 1969, and the Monarchic Convergence movement. In 1958 he even supported the candidacy of Humberto Delgado. It was after the April 25 revolution that he began to hold important political positions, founding also the Monarchic People's Party. He was Undersecretary of State for the Environment in the I, II and III Provisional Governments, the first by Adelino da Palma Carlos and the next two by Vasco Gonçalves. He continued Secretary of State in the First Constitutional Government, headed by Mario Soares. In 1979, he joined Francisco Sá Carneiro in the formation of the Democratic Alliance, a coalition through which he was elected deputy to the Assembly of the Republic, consecutively, in the 1979, 1980 and 1983 legislatures. Between 1981 and 1983 he was Minister of State and Quality of Life of the 7th Constitutional Government of Francisco Pinto Balsemão. During his ministry, he assumed a leading role in establishing a regime on land use and spatial planning by creating protected areas of the Agricultural Reserve, National Ecological Reserve and the bases of the Municipal Master Plan. In 1985 he was City Councillor of Lisbon for the Earth Programme. In the same year he returns to the Assembly of the Republic, now as an independent deputy, elected on the lists of the Socialist Party (PS). In 1993, he founded the Earth Party Movement, whose presidency left in 2007. He taught at the Instituto Superior de Agronomia, becoming a disciple of Francisco Caldeira Cabral, pioneer of landscape architecture in Portugal. With this teacher, he published the book A Árvore em Portugal, a reference work on tree species in the country. He created at the Universidade de Évora, in the 1990s, degrees in Landscape Architecture and Biophysical Engineering. In this institution he was Full Professor, from 1976 to 1992, is Emeritus Professor and received, in 1994, the degree of Doctor Honoris Causa. In April 2013, he was awarded the Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe Prize, the most important international distinction in this field, which is equivalent to the Nobel Prize in landscape architecture. In 2016, at the IndieLisboa film festival, it was presented the documentary A Vossa Terra - paisagens de Gonçalo Ribeiro Teles by director João Mário Grilo. He has been decorated several times. He obtained on October 31, 1969, from President Américo Thomaz, the rank of Officer of the Military Order of Santiago da Espada, on April 6, 1988, from President Mário Soares, the Grand Cross of the Military Order of Cristo, on 10 June 1990, by President Mário Soares, Grand Cross of the Order of Liberdade, and on May 25, 2017, by President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, Grand Cross of the Order of Infante D.
