葡萄牙共和国(葡萄牙语:República Portuguesa),简称“葡萄牙”,是一个位于欧洲西南部的共和制国家。葡萄牙首都里斯本以西的罗卡角是欧洲大陆的最西端,葡萄牙语是2.4亿人的共同母语,也是世界第六大语言。
葡萄牙自1143年脱离西班牙成为独立王国。15~16世纪起,于大航海时代中扮演重要角色,在亚洲、非洲和美洲建立起大量殖民地。1494年和西班牙共同签署了《托尔德西里亚斯条约》,意图将世界瓜分为二。1932年萨拉查就任总理,1974年葡萄牙殖民地战争结束,反战的康乃馨革命爆发,葡萄牙重新成为西方民主制度国家。
葡萄牙是欧洲各国中殖民历史最为悠久的一国,自从1415年攻占北非休达到1999年澳门政权移交,殖民活动长达近600年。昔日庞大的葡萄牙-巴西-阿尔加维联合王国,曾包括世界53个国家和地区。
葡萄牙是一个发达的资本主义国家,拥有相当完善的旅游业,也是欧盟成员国之一,欧元和北约创始成员国之一。还是世界贸易组织、联合国等国际组织的成员。由于地处欧洲偏远地区,且国力不强,一般都被认为是欧洲的小国,尤其在邻国西班牙,法国,德国人眼中更是如此,可以说是屌丝国。但由于气候宜人,海滩众多,物价低廉,又被公认为欧洲度假后花园。
This house was built in 2010. The structure was designed by FUTURENG. This is a home that takes advantage of the benefits of using a lightweight metal frame in a contemporary architecture(现代建筑). The low weight of the materials allowed to create large interior areas and panoramic windows(全景窗). Part of the upper floor stands cantilevered(悬挑) and has been used an ingenious(机智的) solution: a sidewall of the building constitutes itself a rectangular(矩形) truss. Although this function, the wall has the same thickness as the others. The building still rely on concrete in the elevator structure and a portico in red iron, besides LSF. It is thus an excellent example of combining various structural (混合结构)materials, taking advantage of the specific advantages of each one. The building was completed with ETICS(外墙外保温系统External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems). The element on the first floor has been coated with EPS and subsequently sealed with an elastic membrane(弹性涂料). Finally, was applied a decorative Ipe wood finishing.
