Organizational Unit
CIAUD-UPT - Centro de Investigação em Arquitetura, Urbanismo e Design
O Centro de Investigação Gallaecia é responsável pela investigação e produção científica do DAMG. A equipa tem ganho regularmente financiamento para projetos de investigação, como coordenador ou parceiro, em candidaturas da FCT (projeto SEISMIC-V), programa Cultura 2000 (projeto VerSus) ou da Europa Criativa (projeto 3DPAST). A equipa realiza igualmente, consultoria e prestação de serviços a Municípios, assim como apoio às comunidades nas Juntas de Freguesia e Santa Casa da Misericórdia. Os principais projetos de investigação ganhos e coordenados pela equipa têm sido dedicados sobretudo a património vernáculo, arquitetura de terra, Património Mundial e multimédia. Atualmente, encontram-se em desenvolvimento, os projetos “Versus+: Heritage for People” do programa Europa Criativa, com participação de 4 países (2019-2023); e o projeto “SizaAtlas: Filling the gaps” projeto FCT, coordenado pelo ISCTE, com parceria da FAUP e da UPT (2021-2024). Devido ao desenvolvimento ativo de projetos, de formação e capacitação, de valorização e proteção de património vernáculo e de arquitetura de terra, a equipa foi outorgada, com a Cátedra UNESCO de “Arquitetura de Terra, Desenvolvimento Sustentável e Culturas Construtivas”, da UNITWIN e Chaire UNESCO da CRAterre; e é membro institucional da Rede Ibero-americana PROTERRA de arquitetura e construção com terra.

    20th-Century World Built Heritage Facing Water: Conservation of Fallingwater and Boa Nova Tea House
    2024-09-21 - Milão, Susana; Ribeiro, Telma; Neves, Isabel Clara; Lima, Ana; Pacheco, Luís Paulo
    The conservation of 20th-century architectural heritage presents unique challenges due to the modern materials and construction techniques used by pioneering architects. This paper investigates the preservation challenges of iconic architectural works exposed to water environments, focusing on Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd Wright and the Boa Nova Tea House by Álvaro Siza Vieira. These structures, situated in natural settings with significant exposure to water, serve as case studies for examining conservation methods and their broader implications. This study explores archival documents, interviews with conservation experts, and literature reviews to highlight the main degradation phenomena related to the impact of environmental conditions on the material’s integrity. Despite limited specific data on monitoring and maintenance, this research underscores the importance of ongoing conservation efforts. Fallingwater’s case highlights the necessity of restoration techniques, while the Boa Nova Tea House illustrates minimal intervention strategies to maintain authenticity. This study concludes that the effective conservation of 20th-century built heritage necessitates a balance between preserving original design intents and adapting to environmental challenges. It emphasizes the need for innovative conservation strategies, adherence to international guidelines, and the establishment of comprehensive management and monitoring plans to safeguard the integrity and authenticity of culturally significant architecture.

    BlackBox: Stories of the future
    2019-12-01 - Neves, Isabel Clara; Figueira, Jorge
    Digital is inevitable and irreversible; it marks the present and helps us to envision the future. There is, however, a story to tell: digital culture is as much about the future as it is about the past, and one must recover a historical perspective on the matter. Black Box — Stories of the Future goes back to the first writings on Digital by designers and architects, intersecting those with the most meaningful present-day reflections on the theme.

    Digital Culture. What's Next?
    2023-07-13 - Rabaça, Armando; Gil, Bruno; Neves, Isabel Clara
    We live in an era characterized by profound changes in the way we perceive and interact with the world, guided by the driving force of digital technologies, a phenomenon many authors have no hesitation in calling a Fourth Industrial Revolution. As diverse as these changes may be in the realm of architecture, they are inevitably embedded in a long-standing negotiation of formal codes, as suggested in Antoine Picon’s Digital Culture in Architecture (2010) and Mario Carpo’s The Alphabet and the Algorithm (2011), ultimately leading Reinhold Martin to ask: “Is digital culture secular?” [...]

    Digital Processes to Conscious Innovation in Built Environment
    2025-04-24 - Neves, Isabel Clara
    Some 15 years ago, the world’s urban population surpassed the global rural population, an unprecedented shift in how and where we live. It is believed that by 2050 more than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in urban settings. How can, and should we integrate such a population into the project methodology, aiming at their participation? There has been a growing interest in increasing user commitment in conception design processes for built space, moving against fully top-down approaches. In turn, Research Centres have become increasingly interested in the potential of computational technologies of AI, as well as digital fabrication, in design research projects. However, it should be noted that such research is limited in its social impact and influence over decision-making processes, namely in social, environmental, and urban settings. Furthermore, lack of more systematic information on emerging digital technologies, generating new forms of social innovation, is an obstacle to developing more conscious design strategies. In this context, this paper sets out to develop a set of European pilot projects produced in laboratories of technology and architecture, focusing on two guidelines: i) conscious innovation ii) inclusive participation. From this revision, a set of insights will result, which call for driving forces towards social cohesion, by implementing solutions based on digital technologies.
