Affairs

Video recordings affair

In the early 1990s he was involved in a sex scandal when some home-made recordings were found in videotapes showing him having sexual intercourse with different younger women. Since then he gained huge notoriety. The infamous recordings with hardcore sexual content were made available in VHS tapes that spread to the general public and later on peer-to-peer networks.

Famous remarks on the subject, extracted from the videos, included 'Está todo lá dentro' (It's all inside), 'Uicabom' ('OhSogood'), '..a menina da Kookai' ('Kookai's girl'), 'Queres óleo' (Do you need some moisture) and 'Vamos comer a Fatinha' (Let's 'eat' Miss Fatima). They were widely parodied in Portugal by all sort of ordinary people, particularly teenagers and young adults at the time.

Controversies

Video recordings affair

In the 1980s he was involved in a sex scandal when some personal home-made recordings he kept in videotapes were fortuitously discovered by his maid; unbeknownst to him, these recordings were duplicated and then used in an extortion attempt against him. Although Taveira initially complied with his former maid's demands, the recordings nevertheless found their way to the Portuguese magazine Semana Ilustrada, which had offered a substantial monetary reward in exchange for the copies. The recordings showed him having sexual intercourse and rough anal sex with different younger women inside his office at Amoreiras, Lisbon. Since then he gained huge notoriety. The Spanish magazine Interviú also published photos of the recorded scenes which prompted Taveira's lawyer to request court action against the magazines.^[3]

The infamous recordings with hardcore sexual content were made available in VHS tapes that spread to the general public and later on to peer-to-peer networks and pornographic video websites which accept user submissions.

Due to the scandal and related negative publicity, Taveira faced serious personal and professional setbacks until the late 1990s.^[4]

Bairro do Condado

The housing complex projected by Taveira in Marvila, Lisbon was scheduled for partial demolition. The main reason behind this municipal decision was urban and social degeneration caused by uncontrollable drug use and traffic, increased crime rates and juvenile delinquency. The building complex proved to be quite propitious to such behaviours as it included quite a lot of underused, marginal spaces with difficult possibilities of natural surveillance.

One of the main streets, named The Corridor of Death has been the stage of many gangster homicides and other crimes. The municipality found no solution other than the demolition of some blocks, as it was impossible to regenerate such spaces created by Taveira. This area has been depicted many times in Portuguese film history, including the film Zona J and the short-film Arena by João Salaviza, which won the Short Film Palme d'Or at Cannes Festival.

UTL affair

Taveira was a professor at the Faculty of Architecture of the Technical University of Lisbon until 2003, when he was expelled due to a disciplinary process.^[5]
