decorated history from a third-placed World Cup finish in 1966 to recent successes in the 2016 UEFA European Championships and 2019 Nations League A starring cast of elite players has contributed throughout this period from the marvel of Eusebio to the modern brilliance of Cristiano Ronaldo and the many spectacular names in between numerous unsung heroes have climbed the ranks to cultivate admirable careers while becoming regular household names while others have sailed by without as much as a glance many Portuguese players make their mark on the game from the elite ‘Big Five’ to the minnows starring gleefully upward the remarkable story of one particular individual is occurring before our eyes and his rise from obscurity to the hallowed grass of Turin has captivated a new generation of football romantics Manuel Locatelli Getting Back to His Best for Thiago Motta’s Juventus I am referencing Alberto Costa: a 21-year-old wingback who competed in the third tier of Portugal’s football pyramid less than two years ago before sealing a €13.8 million deal with Juventus in January 2025 commitment and expectations | The calculated career of Alberto Costa Born in the small city of Santo Tirso in 2003 was introduced to football early and entered the Vitoria de Guimaraes academy at ten years of age The 2012-13 Taca de Portugal winners possess a proud tradition of nurturing talented youngsters in the region cultivating their undeniable love for the sport while meticulously harnessing their skills with the utmost detail and a passage through the youth ranks was notably smooth with locals identifying an eagerness to learn and a desire to maximise the opportunities presented Costa joined the U23 ranks while spending ample time training with the B-team A 14-minute cameo justified the praise bestowed upon his development with a three-year professional deal following almost immediately in April 2021 the club envisaged future interest in their potential starlet inserting a €30m release clause in his package Os Conquistadores set about a gracious development plan focusing their time on utilising the right-sided defender with Vitoria de Guimaraes B and building his athleticism alongside physicality through intense senior participation Alberto would make 19 Liga 3 appearances during the 2022-23 campaign contributing one goal and averaging an impressive 79 minutes per outing Despite his youth and relative inexperience and his engine was marked as a valuable weapon for the modern game personal growth and impressive displays caught the attention of senior manager Alvaro Pacheco with Costa included in the first team in October 2023 and installed in matchday squads almost immediately earning a senior debut in a January cup outing against Penafiel Although only featuring for several minutes at the end of the game he would earn his league bow in April against Ruben Amorim’s Sporting – raising eyebrows with a notable 15-minute cameo with the player putting pen to paper on a five-year agreement A promising pre-season heading into the current campaign set the tone for opportunity Having spent time with some of the loyal Os Branquinhos many envisaged the possibility of Costa providing a healthy challenge for the veteran Bruno Gaspar but his ability was there for all to see,” said Tito (68) “Many felt that Bruno [Gaspar] was the stronger of the two to begin You can see that he is eager for playing time Early showings offered some glimmer of hope – like against Djurgarden in Europe – he was never overawed and he seemed destined to grasp every opportunity.” Although Gaspar would command more starting time injury struck the Angolan international in early December 2024 supplying an avenue for a consistent starting position for Costa He made 21 appearances across all competitions up to his final outing in a 4-4 draw with Sporting his name began to surface on the continental scene with Thiago Motta rumoured to be a keen admirer of the talented defender When considering the magnitude of the Portuguese defender’s metrics long-term injuries to Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal limited his defensive options throughout his debut campaign with a sense of frustration developing in pockets of the fanbase the former Bologna chief moved for Costa in January to bolster his immediate squad while keeping an eye on his meticulous squad development for a calculated rebuild in Turin The 21-year-old signed a four-and-a-half-year deal debuting in a cameo showing in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia against Empoli he was introduced to Serie A with a league outing five days later for a 30-minute display during a 2-0 victory against Hella Verona His performance was widely applauded by the La Vecchia Signora faithful with many eager to see more of their Portuguese recruit “How can you not be excited when you see such passion and this ability on the ball,” Matteo (36) told me Il Destino Del Serbo: How Dušan Vlahović Looks to Deny Doubters under Juventus’ Thiago Motta “We are not stupid – we know it will take time in a new league city and language – but we like what we see just two days shy of two years to the day that Costa played 90 minutes against Vilaverdense in Liga 3 he entered the sacred Juventus turf in front of 36215 adoring fans as one of the hottest prospects in Italian football this has not occurred by some fluke; Alberto Costa’s arrival on one of the grandest stages in world football has come from dedication and ability to his craft Modern football has morphed into a game that utilises marauding full-backs as vital components in the attacking third With four goal contributions from 14 appearances in league and cup (one goal and three assists) the Santo Tirso native is primed to make a notable impact in Motta’s system I relish witnessing the growth of these footballers in the most competitive leagues and – who knows – maybe Alberto Costa will be the latest name to join a stellar list of memorable Portuguese stars Follow Shaun Connolly on Twitter and subscribe to his free newsletter.

second a corridor with an area for multimedia displays and access to all the museum’s rooms; third a 56-seat auditorium with mobile furniture; fourth seven connected exhibition galleries running parallel to the corridor These cabinets serve as exhibition elements Museu Municipal Abade Pedrosa (MMAP) e Museu Internacional de Escultura Contemprânea (MIEC) Pedro Guedes Oliveira (coordinadores coordinators);

already have the existing Lamassu Bitcoin ATMs to now add bitcoin-for-cash using its new Santo Tirso bill dispensing platform “It was important for us to give operators the choice of one-way or two-way transactions,” said Zach Harvey “Our modular design allows them the ability to choose a cash-to-Bitcoin machine or the option of adding a stand that enables two-way transactions Different operators have different market needs The Santo Tirso is able to hold up to 1,000 banknotes of any currency Functioning both as a bill dispenser and a stand for the Lamassu bitcoin machine it is compatible with all of the 235 plus varieties of Lamassu machines currently in the global market This new addition makes it possible for automated and affordable money transfers Harvey stated that everyone involved with the project is very happy with the turnout of events especially in terms of the machines price The team fully hopes to expand their modular options including both the hardware and software aspect of it For those who just want a stand and not the two-way transaction aid Lamassu is also offering the options of simply adding the Braga floor stand Each stand is currently priced at $1,800 and does not include a bill dispenser operators are able to place them in location where the floor space is limited The Lamassu bitcoin machines are currently the most affordable two-way

unexpected use of color Souto de Moura is clear on his view of the use of materials “I avoid using endangered or protected species I think we should use wood in moderation and replant our forests as we use the wood We have to use wood because it is one of the finest materials available.” “I find Mies increasingly fascinating...There is a way of reading him which is just to regard him as a minimalist But he always oscillated between classicism and neoplasticism...You only have to remember the last construction of his life with that powerful travertine base that he drilled through to produce a gigantic door he arrived in Barcelona and did two pavilions One was abstract and neo plastic and the other one was 9 classical symmetrical with closed corners...He was experimenting Souto de Moura acknowledges the Miesian influence but refers people to something written by Italian journalist and critic rather than wanting to be very original and bad.” At a series of forums called the Holcim Forum on sustainable architecture no sustainable architecture — there is only good architecture There are always problems we must not neglect; for example social aspects — one must always pay attention to all these.” Archive Architecture “Art and I do not know for sure who we are but we are certain that we are part of each other the Alberto Carneiro Art Center (CAAC) has a primary mission to manage the sculptor’s collection research and dissemination of contemporary art to honour the work of Alberto Carneiro (1937-2017) The inauguration of the city-initiated cultural project comes six years after the signing of the donation contract that the artist made with the City Council to create the permanent collection of the Art Center more and more a centre of innovation and creativity we stress the rehabilitation of an industrial building to implement the Alberto Carneiro Art Center It allows the dynamization of the factory site with cultural activities contributing to a new centrality of the city The choice of Santo Tirso for the new cultural project is due to the sculptor’s strong connection to the municipality In addition to the countless works exhibited in the city we must highlight his role in developing ten International Sculpture Symposia which gave rise to the current International Museum of Contemporary Sculpture in Santo Tirso the Alberto Carneiro Art Center has an exhibition area areas for administrative activities and logistic support as well as storage areas for general deposits the exhibition area includes a permanent exhibition composed of works by the sculptor the inaugural exhibition presents drawings and sculptures in wood Visitors can also see works from the series Sobre as flores do meu jardim (200-02) displayed on the wall of the exhibition’s first nucleus works on paper between drawing and painting produced by pressing flower petals collected by Alberto Carneiro in his garden and whose intensity of colour diminishes over time showing the energies encapsulated in natural materials in a constant quest by the artist to reveal their movements Alberto Carneiro’s work establishes a relationship between nature It is an artistic practice that reveals the secrets of the earth The landscape with the urge to show itself the intensity and speed of the movements and gestures take shape not only in sculptural works but also in drawings whose sense of constant tension strength and transformation attract us and pull us in their direction It is to return to the essence and the bond to the earth of Alberto Carneiro’s work that is evident when contemplating it through the understanding of nature from the body and the senses and through a dialogue between the rural world and the artistic environment the exhibition area will be a place for dialogue and confrontation of several artistic currents through temporary exhibitions of contemporary artists associated with Alberto Carneiro’s work fitting in with the sculptor’s fundamental artistic values “The idea is to create a challenge regarding a piece a space based on a bond to Alberto Carneiro’s work an exhibition project that can be shown at the Centre.” the new Alberto Carneiro Art Center will play a key role in developing the region’s culture complementing and stimulating the programming of the International Sculpture Museum This will increase the city’s contemporary art offer and its relationship with nature and public space the International Museum of Contemporary Sculpture will inaugurate the artist’s first solo exhibition in this venue The exhibition is based on the artistic estate of Alberto Carneiro owned by the widow and art historian Catarina Rosendo which is stored in the Municipality of Santo Tirso A Natureza em Movimento presents works that cover almost completely five decades of the artist’s work the importance of the artist’s drawing and performative works in landscape and rural environments that originated the photographic series from the seventies now on display is underlined Alberto Carneiro is an advocate of the concept of Ecological Art and Public Art the Alberto Carneiro Art Center wants to promote the Monte Córdova Enhancement Project and the Strategic Program for the Recovery of the Leça River – 2020/2030 When questioned about the creation of projects for the outer area of the Art Center Álvaro Moreira admits it is something to develop “in a project that combines other environmental interests for the recovery and enhancement of the entire river which in our municipality has its most significant part the most important environmental area in the municipality of Santo Tirso The idea is to develop artistic activities including ephemeral architectures or sculptures besides emphasizing environmental issues related to the river directly associated with Alberto Carneiro’s line of thought We also have the contribution of the International Museum of Contemporary Sculpture project of which he was the mentor and whose collection has been growing developed alongisde the city’s new urban frontiers and the creation of new public spaces – park and pedestrian areas – associated with the city’s growth and enhancement” Besides Alberto Carneiro’s works of sculpture and drawing the collection includes the artist’s private library treated and made publicly available in partnership with the heirs It contains around 7500 volumes essential to understand the artist’s work and the influences of his conceptual horizon To raise the community’s awareness of artistic expressions the Art Center’s activity will be enhanced by pedagogical initiatives related to nature through scientific meetings and educational programmes with a cultural programme that establishes the Alberto Carneiro Art Center as a place for meetings [1] Carneiro, Alberto.

visited the partner city of Santo Tirso in Portugal to learn about the city’s approach to sustainable economic development.   Members of the Council’s project team were accompanied by Deputy Mayor Councillor Gráinne Maguire and Mr Anthony Cooney who are key stakeholders in the EcoCore Project which is focussed on the sustainable development of the Stephenstown Industrial Park in Balbriggan.  Since 2002 URBACT has been driving change by enabling co-operation knowledge sharing and the exchange of ideas and good practices between cities across Europe The EcoCore Project is examining the green transition in small cities along strategic transport corridors EcoCore seeks to support sustainable economic development through the incorporation of green and sustainable measures in industrial zones The projects also seeks to explore carbon reduction measures in areas such as energy sustainable transportation and promotion of biodiversity this aligns strongly with Balbriggan’s designation

and good practices we learnt in Santo Tirso with local stakeholders in Balbriggan All Rights Reserved © Fingal County Council And Now What? by the Icelandic artist-activist Rúrí, at MIEC made deliberately for the exhibition project with the ashes and remaining burnt trees from the local forests The exhibition underlines the restlessness of Rúrí’s art in particular the climate crisis and the consequent rise in the average sea level the forest fires and the temperature of local ecosystems which reveal inequalities in access to drinking water other natural resources and better living conditions in both human and non-human beings The title’s questioning stresses the need for us to reflect on new ways of living on the planet caring and respecting all living and non-living beings renowned as a pioneer in performance and installation unfolding as she adds new possibilities to her art and installation world As German art historian and curator Christian Schoen says in the preface to the artist’s dedicated monograph: «for Rúrí art is language It allows her to express herself in ways that would be unfeasible through the written or spoken word The artist addresses important notions for all of us; she raises questions about life and coexistence about cosmic coherence; she challenges the relativity of objects and phenomena questioning the system of coordinates with which we structure the environment» [2] uses her art as political or social agency to voice concerns about her surroundings Activist artis a term used to describe artistic practices addressing political or social issues through actions that nurture experiences and challenge power structures The renowned art professor and researcher Boris Groys political and practical issue of today’s discussions on activist art is to be at an ambiguous point Criticism rests mainly on the notions of aestheticisation and spectacle associated with the theses of Walter Benjamin and Guy Debord who argued that the aestheticisation and spectacularization of politics cancels out the practical goals of activism But the author concludes the following: «Contemporary activist art being captive to this contradiction is good because only self-contradictory practices are true only art points to the possibility of revolution as radical change beyond our current desires and expectations.»[3] In And Now What? Rurí displays this desire and possibility for change photographs of waterfalls that have disappeared due to dam construction in Kárahnjúkar as well as others affected by hydroelectric development Water is a commonplace feature in Rúrí’s work one of the most powerful ways of representing this element that flows across the globe The serialisation of the photographs underlines the water issue; firstly by the way the dams are borders between us and the surrounding elements considering the devastating way in which humanity has extracted the planet’s natural resources and the scarcity of water in many areas of the Earth due to climate change an ongoing installation composed of five screens with map fragments They allow us to study the possible future of coastlines based on calculations of the water mass released during the complete melting of the Antarctic ice sheet by collecting data in public international databases This is another warning about the climate crisis and the rise in the average sea level There runs a similarity with the installation Water Balance IV where the artist places one hundred and twenty translucent glass jars This emphasises the importance of the liquid element as the most precious commodity of life It has instruments and allusive decoration where we hear the ticking of several clocks in the room The work was activated by a performance at the opening where the artist took several pages from a world atlas turning each one into pieces in an electronic paper shredder She then placed them in a transparent cellophane bag with a label containing the same caption as the original book page the looping video ITEMS (1978-2006) underlines the idea of sequence showing words on the screen under a skyline we proceed in a narrow corridor surrounded by transparent cellophane bags with the remains of burnt forest ashes where there is this description: Steps in the Forest (2022) – Step Twenty – Santo Tirso 2023 Footsteps that lead us to Forest (2022-23) a kind of carpet in the corridor of the old monastery pine cones and parts of burnt trees from nearby forests Santa Cristina do Couto and São Miguel do Couto These are the remnants of beings that once had life evoking the blight of the frequent fires in our country and in other parts of the world There are also quotes by the artist on her experience in the forests inscribed on the walls of adjoining rooms belonging to the permanent exhibition of Museu Municipal Abade Pedrosa (MMAP) a possible change and a desire for a better world in face of the climate crisis we recall the sci-fi precursor We (1920) by the author Evgueni Zamiatine Before the first flight experience of the Integral She intends to sabotage the mission and instigate a revolution believing that the last revolution had already been carried out and that everyone is happy Reflecting later: «- Children are the only daring philosophers And the daring philosophers are all children And we can’t help but pose the question that children ask: «And then what?»[4] And Now What? by Rúrí is at MIEC until June 25 [1] Schoen, C.

Moving Images in Portugal (1990-2010) following the work she started with Exhibiting Cinema – Between the Gallery and the Museum: Exhibitions by Portuguese Filmmakers (2001-2020) with the aim to contribute to the study of installations with moving images in Portugal envisioning the transfer and specific incorporation of structural elements of cinema in the visual arts The present text relates to the project for the construction of the International Contemporary Sculpture Museum (MIEC) and rehabilitation of the Municipal Museum Abade Pedrosa (MMAP) that the Municipality of Santo Tirso intends to hold on the site that it owns Respecting and following the preliminary program delivered by the Municipality the proposal is based on the construction of a new building to house the MIEC collection and renovation of the building where currently operates the MMAP The connection between the two buildings is punctual and although functionally connects both it allows to keep them independent in form and language The aim is to access both museums by a common entrance through the new building create a unique customer service – atrium - with access to two museums that although they have different programs MIEC - International Contemporary Sculpture MuseumThe site for the construction of the MIEC has an area of ​​2156.83 sqm and confronts:_ North 'Misericórdia of Santo Tirso' (Agricultural Professional School Conde S Bento) and Santo Tirso Municipality (Municipal Museum Abade Pedrosa)_ South with Rua Unisco Godiniz Street and square access to Municipal Museum Abade Pedrosa;_ East Bento)The design of the new museum took into account the exception site where it is located as well as the definition and adaptation to the surrounding environment and the Monastery of São Bento building in which currently operates the Municipal Museum Abade Pedrosa.The Monastery of São Bento set from the beginning the premises of the volumes of the new Museum The new building found the cornice of the lower limit of the Monastery as its maximum level so as not to disturb or to overlap to this historic building which will have to establish a physical relationship of continuity This connection is made through an "arm" that starts in the main volume does not dignify the image of the Monastery.The definition of volumetric proposal resulted from the intention of defining the square access to the new museum and also the old museum (Municipal Museum Abade Pedrosa) the new museum MIEC develops parallel to the existing north wall releasing the south area to the promenade that faces the street Unisco Godiniz.The layout of the building parallel to North / East wall resolves:The transition height between the base of both buildings in the confrontation with 'Misericórdia of Santo Tirso' building;Replacing the canceled connection between 'Misericórdia of Santo Tirso' and Street Unisco Godiniz:- Creation of a fire emergency way from level -1 to public road;- Introduction of natural light to the exhibition spaces on level -1 The selected scheme for the building implantation takes on particular meaning in the functional organization of the museum we access to the lobby that connects with the Municipal Museum Abade Pedrosa with the reception and the vertical accesses The pavement heights have continuity with the Monastery of São Bento.The main floor is arranged after the atrium in the following order:- The shop in direct contact with the atrium;- The cafeteria and its services (Kitchen and sanitary);- Administration (office meeting room and toilets)- The documentation center that works as exhibition area and computer center This division has an emergency exit to the main square through the service entrance of the building.And the culmination of this journey is the building's service entrance where is the freight elevator which carries all the contents from street level to the storage and archive rooms that serves all the exhibition rooms in level -1 The level -1 develops in the following way:- The second multi-purpose exhibition area serves as area of ​​temporary exhibitions and performing activities This option has to do with the fact that in the level -1 the contact with the outside is only possible on the North side Thus this space was partitioned into three rooms open to the public all served by natural light;- The study and recreation area ( also the educational services) between two exhibition rooms facing north with constant natural lighting;- The public toilets in the south / west end;- The technical area and archive that communicates with the ground floor through a freight elevator;In the basement detached from the area of implantation of the MIEC and east side of the chapel is located technical room reserved for mechanical building installations The option distancing and implementation of technical room below street level is to try to minimize visual disturbance and noise produced by the machines next to the chapel and buildings of the museums.Constructively the new museum consists of concrete walls coated inside with high density plasterboard (required in exhibition rooms); on the outside was used ETICS system with high density mineral wool coated with reinforced flat plaster and painted white A granite paneling sets the base of the museum also visible in existing buildings The interior walls are made of high density gypsum with metal partitioning mostly by a marble panelling in the public areas In the technical or service areas walls are protected by a wooden paneling to the height of the lintel of the door.The slabs are mixed of reinforced concrete on iron profiles.Apart from the technical and service areas where it was applied self-leveling flooring or granite the material used in the floor is marble.All areas will be properly waterproofed and insulated.The waterproofed outdoor decks will be in Caverneira yellow granite.The window frames are made of wood with double glazing.The roof of the new museum (MIEC) visually exposed to the high levels of the city was subject to a surface treatment using ceramic tiles MMAP – Municipal Museum Abade PedrosaThe Municipal Museum Abade Pedrosa is located in the former guesthouse of the Monastery of São bento a building integrating the heritage complex called - Monastery of São Bento still classified as a National Monument.The building is located on the north side of the city of Santo Tirso that set the forecourt of the church and the convent building.- South one access road to the cellar belonging to the current agricultural school Of rectangular plan and longitudinal development it is organized to the west by a corridor which occupies the entire building length and to East by several rooms of different sizes and with specific links between them The access to the rooms is carried out through the corridor several doors sometimes more than one door for each room.The granite masonry building has walls plastered with mortar clay painted in white keeping the apparent granite in structural elements of the building etc.The South Elevation has a very highlighted pediment where inscribes a monumental coat of Order of São Bento in place of the current museum entrance door and framing the coat resulted in the destruction of this window and the construction of a small addition on east side of the face whose architectural features wrested the strict symmetry of the original composition.The building's roof consists of a gabled roof The proposed intervention in MMAP is based on two main principles:To preserve the architectural features of the existing building and replace the elements that return its original composition.- Provide the museum with necessary structures to regular operation particularly with respect to issues arising from the approval of the Security Plan the conditions for the reception of the public and exhibition conditions of the temporary and permanent exhibitions areas - Functional organization in four key areas of the MMAP Museum: 1 - a first intermediate space between the two museums toilets and access to the technical area 2 - a circulation corridor with a designated area for the media exposure and access to all rooms of the museum 3 - an auditorium for 56 people with movable furniture in order to allow room flexibility crossed by a route alternative to the corridor with a glass showcase per room.These showcases simultaneously serve as an exhibition box as space required for access to technical areas and as a supporting element to the lighting of the rooms Photography:João Morgado - Architecture Photographywww.joaomorgado.com Structures Eng Jorge Nunes da Silva (GOP) Eng Filipa Abreu (GOP) Thermal and Mechanical

"If we look at the area around Porto, the infrastructure was already there, and the help from the region helped us to decide to choose this region", said Maarten Lijftogt, the director of business development at E- tuk. According to Lijftogt, the option of Lisbon was also on the table, since the company has 600 vehicles in the capital, but the company finally chose Santo Tirso and the factory there which covers over 6,000 square metres. "I believe that the important thing was the qualified work that there is in the country and the future in lithium is also interesting". The company's objective, according to the director, is to build a 100% European vehicle and have production returned to the mainland, since having the factory in Thailand entailed high transport costs. "In the past we paid US$1,600 [about €1,517] for a container, and now we pay US$2,100 [€1,990], so I think price is an important factor", said the company's director, also mentioning that "if you transport all the parts of a vehicle and the vehicles, there is a lot of pollution involved". The development department remains in the Netherlands and Bangkok, the Thai capital, will be the battery hub for business in the Asian market. The "Portuguese factory will manage the total production of electric vehicles, including body parts, battery assembly and integration with its telematics system, with production expected to be 500 units by the end of this year, 1,200 units in 2023 and 2,000 units in 2024", says E-tuk Factory in a statement. According to Maarten Lijftogt, the E-tuk exports to countries such as France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom, mainly for the tourist market.
