Birth Date 1910-04-28 Birthplace Lisboa Death Date 1975-02-19 Training Institution Escola de Belas Artes Lisboa Occupation Architect Biographical Text Francisco Caetano Keil Coelho do Amaral was born on April 28, 1910, in Lisbon. He was the son of Francisco Coelho do Amaral dos Reis, 1st Viscount of Pedralva, and Guida Maria Josefina Cinatti Keil. Francisco came from a family of artists, with Alfredo Keil and Giuseppe Cinatti as his ancestors. He grew up in Canas de Senhorim, in the district of Viseu. He went to Luanda in 1920, since his father was Governor-General of Angola. He returned to Portugal in 1921 and joined the Gil Vicente High School. In 1928 he began to attend the Architecture degree of the Escola de Belas Artes School, in Lisboa. However, his experience at this school is not the best one. In the first year of his degree he received a disciplinary proceeding resulting from a conflict with Arnaldo Adães Bermudes, professor of Belas Artes. He was forced to finish the degree as an external student, which he ended in 1934. It was in this context that he began working in the atelier of Carlos Ramos. The beginning of his professional activity is manifested by his participation in the exhibitions of the Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes in the years of 1932 and 1933, this last year also marks his first project, the Pasteur Institute. In 1936 he won the competition for the Portugal Pavilion in the Paris Universal Fair, remaining in the French capital for a year to supervise the construction of the Pavilion. In 1939 he joined the Lisbon City Hall, together with Inácio Peres and João Guilherme Faria da Costa. Until 1949 they were in charge of the initiatives for a functional expansion of the city. Highlights from this period are his intervention in the reorganization of the capital green spaces, namely the Eduardo VII Park, Campo Grande and Monsanto Park. Also, during the 1940s, the projects of the Lisbon Airport, two theaters, in Mangualde and Nelas, the Bairro Económico de Benfica and several single-family homes stand out. In the 1950s important marks of his career are the buildings for the Portuguese Electricity Union, Luanda and Santa Maria Airports, as well as several TAP delegations spread around the globe, in Porto, Luanda, London, Lourenço Marques, Rio de Janeiro and others, and the first stage of the Metropolitan of Lisbon, which included all the stations inaugurated in 1959. Already in the 1960s he designed, with Carlos Ramos, the Baghdad stadium in Iraq. Keil do Amaral was a very politicized architect in a political context marked by the Estado Novo dictatorship. He published several articles and books, namely A arquitetura e a vida in 1942, A Moderna Arquitectura Holandesa in 1943, O Problema da Habitação in 1945, A formação dos arquitetos in 1948, Histórias à Margem de um Século de História and Lisboa, uma Cidade em Transformação in 1970 and, at last, Quero Entender o Mundo in 1974. His intervention between 1939 and 1973 in the Municipal Magazine, created by the Lisbon City Hall, was also striking for the architectural environment. He taught in 1943, the subject of Art and Architecture at the Popular University. He participated in the organs of the Sindicato Nacional dos Arquitetos and was one of the most active promoters of the Exposições Gerais de Artes Plásticas, between 1946 and 1956, which marked a cultural dynamic of opposition to the dictatorship. Keil had an important role in the formation of the group of Cultural Initiatives Arte e Técnica and in the reformulation of the magazine Arquitectura. He was one of the protagonists of the First Congresso Nacional de Arquitetura in 1948. In that same year he was also elected president of the Sindicato Nacional dos Arquitetos. His activity earned him several awards. The Municipal Architecture Prize of Lisbon in 1951, the Diário de Notícias Prize in 1960 and the Valmor Prize in 1962. On March 4, 1941 he was also made an Officer of the Ordem Militar de Sant'Iago da Espada. Shortly before his death, which took place in Lisbon on February 19, 1975, he participated in the urbanization contest for the Island of Porto Santo. Bibliography HENRIQUES, S. (2000).
