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” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) is part of the Público newspaper podcasts.

Today’s episode (#42) – 15th April 2022: “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) – The Plaster Models.

With over a century of history, the Técnico plaster models are probably unique in the world. They were made in Paris, by young people who were part of an illegal religious congregation at the time. The plaster models were brought to Portugal and were part of Técnico history, namely in architecture and civil engineering teaching. Today, there are twelve duly restored plaster models in the Civil Engineering Museum, but some are missing from this collection. Some of them may (or may not) have been used as throwing weapons in a clash between students after April 25 revolution.
