Publication Open Access Lisboa y las regiones metropolitanas del Sur de Europa a inicios de siglo XXI2020-12 - Florentino, RuiLa evolución territorial de las regiones metropolitanas se puede medir mediante un número contrastado de indicadores. Algunos de ellos se utilizan para estudiar el desarrollo regional (por ejemplo para movilidad, medioambiente o crecimiento económico), mientras otros permiten analizar los resultados de la implantación de políticas urbanas. Desde una previa separación de tres áreas funcionales – la ciudad central, la primera corona y la periferia regional – este artículo interpreta el caso de Lisboa a inicios del siglo XXI, comparando-lo con las regiones capitales más cercanas: Madrid, Barcelona y París (Ile-de-France). El trabajo tiene el interés de conseguir relacionar fácilmente los datos básicos de población, vivienda y empleo, lo que permite entender las dinámicas de crecimiento en ese momento. Y si la relación se percibe directamente en el “ámbito interno” de cada región, lo más relevante es poder comparar los indicadores desde la “misma área funcional”, entre los diferentes casos. Este es sin duda un análisis a nivel macro, sin entrar en la complejidad de la realidad social, política y de planeamiento de cada área metropolitana, pero nota la importancia de una lectura contrastada de indicadores cuantitativos.Publication Open Access Managing vernacular knowledge for builders and designers2023-11-29 - Dipasquale, Letizia; Florentino, Rui; Ribeiro, Telma; Correia, MarianaValues of authenticity, identity, and cultural significance that are often associated with historical cities and heritage centres are undoubtedly linked to a continuity in traditional knowledge. Building masters have been responsible not only for keeping the tradition alive but also for the conservation of the local architecture. Based on their experience, know-how, creativity, and craft skills, the masons are able to explore the local materials and adapt them to their construction needs (Karakul, 2015). The transmission of vernacular knowledge is a practical, dynamic, and reactive process. It is usually an 'on site' apprenticeship, through observation, practice, and experiential learning. Due to the progressive loss of masters and apprentices, direct on-site transmission is not always guaranteed. In fact, especially in western countries we have witnessed a progressive loss of knowledge, know-how, techniques, and use of natural and low-impact materials for construction. To counteract this process, the role of public and private entities that try to keep traditional skills alive through the organisation of workshops, courses or training field schools is indeed relevant. During workshops and short courses architects and professionals can understand the materials and procedures, as well as the technical limits of building techniques and their implementations, all of which is useful information for a good design. For builders and craftsmen, it is essential that the experience lasts longer and can be repeated. In all these cases, oral transmission and observation are the main way of transmitting tacit knowledge.Publication Open Access Vernacular architecture and traditional urbanism in the World Heritage Cultural Landscape Property of Pico, in Azores (Portugal)2020 - Carlos, Gilberto Duarte; Sousa, Goreti; Correia, Mariana; Florentino, RuiThe World Heritage Committee lists every year, several cultural sites as World Heritage properties. Some of these properties balance the notion of a landscape that bears combined works between nature and men, on which vernacular architecture is part of a local tradition of interaction with nature. The 3dPast research project is a European project, coordinated by Escola Superior Gallaecia and co-funded by the European Union, under the Creative Europe programme. The project studies and values vernacular knowledge of these unique places. In Portugal, the Pico landscape was listed as a World Heritage property due to the 500 years of history of local inhabitants adapting farming practices to produce wine, in a challenge environment and in a remote place in the middle of the Atlantic. This article aims to study, the history and the development of the island's architecture and urbanism, based on an ancestral way of life that is still alive nowadays. The scarcity of natural resources and the difficulties to travel between villages and islands emphasised the effects of insularity. However, the continuity of local culture, passed down through generations, created a strong identity, which is source of pride. The cultural landscape classified area includes about 987 hectares, from the parish of Criação Velha, on the south coast, to Santa Luzia, on the north side, covering part of two municipalities of Pico. The article first presents a brief historical background of the island. Following, it focuses on the evolution of human occupation, through the reading of population indicators and traditional architecture and urbanism, recognizing the unique cultural and landscape values within the property. Finally, it discusses the current regulatory framework on territorial planning, and the architectural and urban regulations in planning framework, with particular emphasis on processes and practices at different scales.Publication Open Access ThinkNature: Development of a multi-stakeholder dialogue platform and Think tank to promote innovation with Nature based solutions proposals and decision-making mechanisms for Climate change Adaptation and mitigation using NBS. WP5 - Identification of barriers and uptake of the necessary decision making mechanisms of the various local authorities and stakeholders. Deliverable 5.3 - Policy proposals and decision-making mechanisms for Climate change Adaptation and mitigation using NBS2019-06-20 - Bailly, Emeline; Marchand, Dorothée; Faucheur, Liz; Daoussi, Inès; David, Alexis; Pilla, Francesco; Kolokotsa, Denia; Nikolaidis, Nikolaos; Florentino, RuiNature-based solutions (NBS) aim to help societies to address a variety of environmental, social and economic challenges in sustainable ways. They are actions which are inspired by and supported by nature. Some involve using and enhancing existing natural solutions to challenges, while others are exploring more novel solutions, for example, based on how non-human organisms and communities cope with environmental extremes. NBS are energy and resource-efficient, and resilient to change, but to be successful they must be adapted to local conditions.Publication Open Access The traditional cultural landscape of Pico Island and its vernacular architecture, Portugal2021 - Bermudez, Teresa; Costa, Manuel P.; Correia, Mariana; Florentino, Rui; Alcindor, Mónica; Carlos, Gilberto Duarte; Sousa, GoretiIn the middle of the Atlantic Ocean is located the Azores archipelago, composed by nine volcanic islands. Pico island was the seventh to be discovered by Portuguese sailors, during the 15th century. Its name is due to the pyramidal form of its mountain, a geological volcano reaching 2.351 meters, the highest mountain in Portuguese territory (Costa, 1997). Pico island has an amazing vineyard culture, especially in its western coastline. The exceptional landscape character granted to Pico a World Heritage status in 2004.Publication Open Access Games and follies at urban scale: two examples in the education of architects2021-11-20 - Sellari, Virginia; García Fueyo, Susana; Casas-Valle, Daniel; Florentino, RuiUrban knowledge is mandatory in the Architecture syllabus. However, the subjects to understand the evolution of cities, their planning, design and governance, have particular complexity, especially the ones regarding technical issues, linked with Sustainable Development Goals, along with mobility, energy, economy and climate change. To solve this gap, different authors argue that a ludic approach can be useful for university lessons and even to improve professional practices. This paper discusses two cases of academic projects in Portuguese universities, with the common aim of designing urban solutions as follies connected to the regional environment. Despite the specific complexity, they both prove that these flexible tools, although not preventing the use of traditional methodologies in the learning processes of architectural education, can be especially relevant for the next generations in a context of digital university training.Publication Open Access La ordenación del territorio en Portugal: El caso del área metropolitana de Lisboa2017-11-29 - Florentino, RuiLa ordenación del territorio es una disciplina en construcción, que en Portugal no ha alcanzado todavía un grado de madurez. En este artículo se presenta una breve reflexión sobre los problemas que enfrenta esta disciplina, mediante el análisis del caso de la región capital. Después de una introducción al marco administrativo del país, que condiciona las prácticas de planeamiento, se resumen algunas dinámicas territoriales en curso e identifican cuestiones clave para mejorar la gobernanza del área metropolitana de Lisboa. Desde esta perspectiva, se defiende una mayor alianza entre las dimensiones técnicas y políticas de la ordenación del territorio, que no solamente requieren cambios institucionales, sino también avances en los procesos operativos de participación, estrategia y cooperación.Publication Open Access Álvaro Siza and the contemporary heritage of university architecture [abstract]2023-10-05 - Florentino, RuiSome of the Álvaro Siza Vieira architectural works built in Portugal are presently addressed to the World Heritage List, as a consequence of a previous selection of 18 buildings, by the Portuguese delegation of ICOMOS in 2017. The preparation of final studies and documentation are nowadays being coordinated by School of Architecture of the University of Porto – which is a distinguished building of Álvaro Siza (1993), already classified as a “master piece” of Portuguese contemporary heritage, by the Ministry of Culture (2019). The technical team for that application, among different international experts, integrates members of other three Portuguese research centers, the ISTAR at ISCTE (Lisbon University Institute), and the CIAUD-UPT, the faculties involved in the running project SIZA ATLAS – Filling the Gaps for World Heritage. The research framework is the second criteria of the operational guidelines for the implementation of World Heritage Convention: exhibit an important interchange of human values, over a span of time or within a cultural area of the world, on developments in Architecture, Town-planning or Landscape design.Publication Open Access A governação de territórios metropolitanos. Contexto institucional e de planeamento nas regiões de Madrid, Barcelona, Paris e Lisboa2015-04 - Fernández Güell, José Miguel; Florentino, RuiEm resposta aos desafios atuais de muitas grandes cidades, o contexto institucional e o planeamento territorial formam dimensões para melhorar a governação metropolitana. No quadro das regiões capitais do sudoeste europeu, quais poderão ser as inovações e diferenças nos seus modelos e processos em curso? Este artigo propõe uma investigação aplicada para apresentar a análise da governação metropolitana. Através do método de estudos de caso em perspectiva comparada, vários elementos e entrevistas são ponderados qualitativamente nas regiões de Madrid, Barcelona, Paris e Lisboa. As conclusões encontram uma tendência para o equilíbrio entre os esforços dessas duas dimensões da governação territorial metropolitana, não impedindo registrar os seus diferentes percursos: por exemplo Ile-de-France desenvolveu boas iniciativas em matéria de planeamento, que então pedem alguns ajustamentos no quadro político, enquanto Madrid teve “menos actividade” nos últimos anos, em resultado da sua grande estabilidade institucional. A região de Lisboa permanece talvez numa “posição intermédia”, com uma dinâmica de evolução pouco previsível. Mas de acordo com este argumento, admite-se que os seus processos podem levar a melhorias graduais no sistema de governação, com o seu próprio percurso, implementando acções que devem respeitar, em particular, a geografia do território.Publication Open Access Learning urbanism with board games: an experience in Universidade Portucalense2022-12-19 - Florentino, RuiHay muchas combinaciones del Urbanismo con los Juegos, pero los temas para entender las ciudades, su planeamiento, proyecto y gobierno, suelen tener gran complejidad. Este trabajo presenta la aplicación de un juego de grupo que motive los estudiantes de Arquitectura para los conocimientos integrados del Urbanismo. La experiencia de la actividad lúdica, ampliada por algunos ejercicios académicos en continuidad, permite discutir varias cuestiones relevantes, la escala, los indicadores y aspectos de economía y medio ambiente. Los resultados demuestran que hay aún el potencial para mejorar las prácticas profesionales, en especial en la gestión urbanística y territorial.
