    Neoliberal governance and Vernacular Building Systems: The case of Spain
    2021-08 - Alcindor, Mónica
    This paper claims that increasing neoliberal forms of governance are found in construction systems in Spain. This fact becomes especially problematic when addressing vernacular construction systems. Both policy and technological management are becoming more focused on the consolidation of “expert systems”, and less on a 'different' and particular vernacular system; and thus shaping both mind and action. The empirical evidence presented throughout this paper is based on an ethnographic approach in Catalonia, allowing a further investigation on the complexity of the most common building systems. Material collected from empirical research on local construction vernacular systems shows how the functioning of a distinct set of managing 'technologies' - embedded in specific practices such as auditing - is instrumental and enables shaping local constructive practices. Under the current conditions, even local aspects are deeply penetrated and outlined by social influences generated by a great distance between them. This has a significant impact on vernacular building systems, as they have been being diluted, when not erased.

    Novas proxémias de valores comunitários
    2020-06 - Correia, Mariana; Alcindor, Mónica
    Estes momentos de confinamento obrigatório, aos quais a nossa vida social foi submetida, proporcionaram uma experiência única para se refletir sobre o papel da arquitetura na vida individual e comunitária. A arquitetura é uma das principais profissões responsáveis pela construção dos edifícios nos quais ficamos confinados, bem como pelos diferentes ambientes que definem o espaço construído. Os nossos projetos podem exercer uma clara influência nas relações humanas, pois somos um dos principais agentes dos cenários em que o nosso quotidiano ocorre. Como referido por Durkheim, a arquitetura é um facto social material, ou seja, pode ser a petrificação de um momento cultural. Nos últimos anos, novas tipologias colaborativas têm vindo a serem ensaiadas com maior dinamismo. É o caso do cohousing, que surgiu baseado em design intencional de habitação em comunidade. A pandemia trouxe um novo desafio com outros riscos, que podem passar despercebidos quando se tenta evitar a propagação do vírus. Ao se colocar em primeiro lugar a segurança, para se evitar o contágio, é possível que se promova implicitamente um maior individualismo.

    Vernacular architecture in Chazhashi Settlement, Upper Svaneti, Georgia
    2021 - Carlos, Gilberto Duarte; Sousa, Goreti; Correia, Mariana; Alcindor, Mónica
    Since 2006, Escola Superior Gallaecia (Portugal), University of Florence (Italy), and Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain), with partners as CRAterre-ENSAG (France), the University of Cagliari (Italy), and Ecole d’Avignon (France), have been working together, for the enhancement and protection of vernacular heritage and earthen architecture. As key-institutions in the area, they share high standards and common values, in order to address and achieve fundamental research, capacity building, learning experiences, relevant outcomes, contributing for a broader and deeper knowledge on vernacular heritage and earthen architecture. Several projects were developed among the partners, throughout the years. This was just possible by running together for European Union funded research, and successfully achieving it, by undertaking relevant contribution to knowledge, as well as comprehensive scientific dissemination. This was the case of the following projects: Terra Incognita (2006-2008); Earthen Domes & Habitat – A building tradition between East and West (2008-2010); Terra (in)cognita/Terra Europae (2009-2011: culture-terra-incognita.org); VerSus – From Vernacular Heritage to Sustainable Architecture (2012- 2014: esg.pt/versus); 3DPAST – Living and virtual visiting European World Heritage (2016-2020: esg.pt/3dpast); and VERSUS+ | Heritage for People (2019-2023: esg.pt/versus-plus). Other key-projects have been also developed through National Funding Agencies for Science, Research and Technology as it was the case of: Seismic-V – Local Seismic Culture in Portugal (esg.pt/seismic-v); PRIN – Scientific, experimental and tacit knowledge and conservation actions of Earthen Architectural Heritage in Southern Italy; ResTAPIA – Restoration of rammed earth in Iberia Peninsula (www.restapia. es); SOStierra – Restoration and Rehabilitation of traditional earthen architecture in Iberia Peninsula (sostierra.blogs.upv.es) and RISK-Terra (https://riskterra.blogs.upv.es); among others. The focus of the distinct researches was to address: a state of the art of earthen architecture in Europe (both Terra Incognita projects); to define principles from vernacular heritage that contribute to sustainable architecture (VerSus project & VERSUS+ project); to enhance the quality of vernacular architecture and its World Heritage character (3DPAST); to distinguish seismic retrofitting in vernacular architecture, in order to pro-actively strength dwellings facing earthquakes (Seismic-V).

    António de Oliveira Salazar: Discurso Político e “retórica” dos Direitos Humanos
    2013 - Campina, Ana; Alcindor, Mónica
    Este trabalho debruça-se sobre António de Oliveira Salazar - Discurso político e a “retórica” dos Direitos Humanos. A educação e a formação, os meios onde se moveu e que lhe permitiram evoluir e afirmar-se perante uma sociedade estiveram na génese da produção, uso e manipulação do discurso salazarista. O discurso marcou indiscutivelmente a trajetória de António de Oliveira Salazar, na sua ascensão ao poder - a etapa central da nossa investigação – por mais que a comparação da teoria com a prática nos transporte para uma breve passagem pelo ocorrido entre 1933 e 1968. A análise do discurso salazarista permitiu um reconhecimento em profundidade do regime, o qual teve uma duração de quatro décadas, porém exigiu-se uma análise funcional deste formidável instrumento estratégico, que não deixaria de marcar, por muito tempo, ainda que em grau desigual segundo os casos e sectores, por permeabilidade ou por reação, a mentalidade coletiva dos portugueses.

    Materials through symbolic lens: The meaning of glass in Western Architecture
    2021-03 - Alcindor, Mónica
    Buildings, techniques and materials with which spaces and volumes have been created and defined are part of the architectural heritage, considered as material heritage. However, a more careful analysis allows us to grasp that it is much more than material heritage since it is actually the petrification of a cultural moment. One of the keys to fundamental understanding is the meaning of material heritage as a result of a social structure that organizes and guides the modes of production, daily practices, lifestyles, and their meanings. But the existing separation between different types of heritage resulting from the Western mental structures marked by a strong dichotomy that governs the analysis of any matter can force a classification that avoids polyhedral analysis that the material heritage could offer. The dualism of "object" and "subject" requires re-consideration, in order to visualize the deep interrelationship between these two concepts. The material heritage is inscribed in a specific space-time framework materialized in a certain place and situation. That is, the subset of differences was selected that more strongly reflect the borders of the difference of one culture over another in its multiple dimensions. Therefore, in the analysis of material heritage, socially structured and specific historical contexts and processes must be taken into account as they affect the production and transmission of symbolic forms. The aim of this paper is to concentrate particularly on attributing meanings to materials. It is crucial to realize that several aspects (function, use, context, user, etc.) can be effective in attributing meanings to materials and they should be taken into consideration for understanding the selection process since it is paramount to focus towards the intangible aspects in materials selection activity as well. So, materials’ uses demand a holistic analyze from multiple dimensions to be understood in deep. One of them is symbolic analyze. This article aims to address the study of the symbolic meaning of glass throughout time in architectures through the revision of literature. Delving beyond the visual level, we are able to discern the "embedding "of constructive action in networks of interpersonal connections and particularly, cultural conditions. Through the analysis of a material, it is possible is to analyze society itself with changing roles in its reciprocal relationship with the environment in a face-to-face community and with a complex social organization, a long past, an uncertain future and a cultural heritage that unfolds (Alcindor, Lima & Alcindor-Huelva). The symbolic perspective in analysis offers a way of understanding materials and their life stories; economies and their networks of trust and obligation; the co-production of people with their environments. The intention of opening the lens through which all these material issues are seeking to incorporate a holistic point of view, namely, the way of thinking that reconstructs a totality of relationships between people and their products since any designer creates and constructs his objects imbued by the forms of social actions existing in daily practices that are always located in a space and time and therefore within a framework of political, social and economic conditions. Therefore, they do not act “freely” since the structures of action enter within the individual through rules and principles that guide us in our practices in an unconscious way.

    Reviving Castro Valley 's winter villages: Using heritage, ecosystem services, and culture to promote a sustainable livelihood in a protected area
    2018-07 - Cabral, Maria Inês; Weiland, Ulrike; Pires, Iva; Alcindor, Mónica
    Most rural areas in Europe evolve towards either intensification or abandonment. Villages in Portugal which are located in remote protected areas tend to be affected by farm abandonment often becoming uninhabited, derelict and exposed to fire hazard and ultimately leading to the loss of cultural landscapes. We developed and applied strategies for intervening in the Castro Laboreiro winter villages, towards a multifunctional landscape based on ecosystem services, heritage and culture. For that purpose we used participatory methods and developed strategies for restocking the wintervilage by defining a set of activities to diversify local economy and improve resilience. Additionally we show how the particular case of village of Pontes can be retrofitted based on its existing resources such as food, energy and water. We further suggest cultural events targeting newcomers and local population to improve social cohesion.

    La cal, una visión biocultural
    2012 - Roselló, Oriol; Alcindor, Mónica
    Este artículo pretende poner de relieve la amplitud de los usos más allá del relacionado con el ámbito edificatorio, ya que hoy en día parece ser el único que se le atribuye a la cal, dejando de lado y olvidando su contribución en otras áreas. Se trata de una mirada centrada en su extensión geográfica y cultural, y realmente lo que pretende es poner de relieve el fenómeno de integración cultural que se evidencia mediante este material tradicional en cada enclave elegido. No forma parte del objetivo de este artículo profundizar en cada una de los casos que se mencionarán sino lo que se ambiciona es resaltar una visión general de la cal, ya quendesde nuestro gremio siempre ha estado reducida al acto edificatorio, relegando al olvido las otras áreas donde su uso contribuía al desarrollo de otras actividades de las diferentes comunidades. Este enfoque que se ha realizado de la cal, tiene su origen en la transferencia de modos de análisis que practican otras áreas de estudio tales como la agroecología o la antropología cuyo planteamiento se basa en una visión holística e integradora de ideas y métodos de diversas disciplinas y dejando de lado por el momento, los procedimientos analíticos aplicados hasta ahora en las ciencias que pueden llegar a subestimar las interacciones que se producen entre las partes que constituyen el todo del objeto de estudio. Dentro del campo de la agroecología la relectura de técnicas tradicionales agrícolas en aras de recobrar la sostenibilidad y equidad del sistema productivo ya han comenzado a dar resultados positivos. Se trata de unas de las primeras disciplinas en detectar los factores negativos de nuestro sistema productivo y las ventajas reales de la recuperación de saberes tradicionales. De hecho la agroecología pretende subsanar la relación entre el hombre y la naturaleza tanto desde el punto de vista de flujos materiales como desde el epistemológico en el campo de la agronomía.

    Symbolic use of domestic space in the upper svanetian (Georgia). Vernacular House
    2020-09 - Sousa, Goreti; Alcindor, Mónica
    Upper Svaneti (Georgia) is a territory in almost permanent isolation amid the Caucasus mountain range. This strategic position, along with the military nature of its settlements made its defence so effective that Svaneti served as Georgia`s safehouse, protecting its chief historical and religious relics in times of crisis. This isolation also ensured the preservation of archaic cultural traditions and ancient rituals, such as animal sacrifices, ritual shaving and blood feuds, establishing what is known as popular religion. Some of these rituals, mainly those performed by women, take place in the domestic space. This paper, developed under the scope of the 3DPast project, aims to interpret the symbolic use of space in vernacular houses of Upper Svaneti. The methodological strategy combines architectonic survey with documental analysis and brings forward an interpretation of this vernacular house from a space anthropology perspective. The traditional svanetian house (machubi), is composed of a single volume, of rough quadrangular plan. The ground floor (machub) houses, during winter, the family and the cattle, while the upper floor (darbazi) was mostly used as the family residence during warmer periods. This analysis will focus specifically on the machub, where there are traces of the symbolic use of domestic space. The machub is composed of a single space with a central fireplace. This element is the axis of segmentation of female and male spaces inside the house. The present paper will address this gender-differentiated symbolic use of the domestic space through the scope of anthropology and of the Svanetian history.

    Ethnography applied to the architectural designs studio
    2023-02-12 - Alcindor, Mónica
    Architects have a clear influence on their relationships through the buildings they make, but they usually have tacit knowledge of these anthropological issues when they provide architectural solutions being able to marginalize both the meanings of the place and an in-depth analysis of the social nature of the existing spaces which are inseparable from the technical, constructive and typological characteristics in a general architectural way. It is defined an ethnographic methodology based on the assumption that the knowledge of reality is always polyhedral and is enriched by the confluence of different perspectives, strengthening joint action as a community. The goal of the development of this methodology is to provide the architect with a valuable working tool in an attempt to overcome the difficulties involved in giving and strengthening local relevance and to capture the factors that are significant for the community to which it is intended to provide a service.
