The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) covers the 110 years of history of Instituto Superior Técnico, through its past, present and future objects.

A collection of objects related to different fields, such as science, music, arts and sports, is the starting point for conversations with people who will tell us more about the history of these objects.

A new episode is released every week. The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos”  is part of the Público newspaper podcasts.

Today’s episode (#21) – 19th November 2021: “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) – The Distillery Panels.

The two panels represent an ethanol factory built in Angola at the beginning of the last century. They have been, and still are, iconic for several generations of Técnico students who look at them while waiting for their classes. The panels are located on the first floor of the Chemistry Engineering building, near the auditorium. The factory they represent produced around 15 tons of ethyl alcohol a day and their representation on these panels bears witness to the construction techniques of this type of factory that are still used today.
