[...]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 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 Vernacular architecture in Chazhashi Settlement, Upper Svaneti, Georgia2021 - Carlos, Gilberto Duarte; Sousa, Goreti; Correia, Mariana; Alcindor, MónicaSince 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).Publication Open Access Introduction: earthen architecture, an endangered vernacular heritage2021-12-21 - Carlos, Gilberto Duarte; Correia, MarianaTroughout the centuries, earthen and vernacular architecture have revealed outstanding building cultures across the world. Tis rich and unique architecture is expressed through diferent tangible expressions in distinct cultural regions. For the last 50years, a fragile earthen vernacular heritage is disappearing, even with rising awareness for its protection. Te earthen endangered heritage is today at a higher risk of vanishing, especially due to man-made actions, such as urban pressure, globalisation, climate change, human confict, but even through gentrifcation and inadequate interventions.Publication Open Access The systematisation of survey drawings: Identifying the development of morphological awareness via Teaching Approaches2025-02-21 - López, Alejandro; Carlos, Gilberto DuarteThe graphic replication of architectural examples has long been a prevalent pedagogical method, regardless of educational orientation. The critical reactivity of the mid-20th century, reinforced by ethnographic and anthropological tools, positioned vernacular architecture as a key educational resource—a process widely recognised and extensively studied in Portugal. This article examines the role of fieldwork and surveying techniques in architectural education, extending beyond geometric characterisation to encompass the recognition of technological principles and logics. Through the systematic application of decomposition/composition drawing exercises with first-year students over a decade, this study explores how structured graphical methodologies foster a deeper understanding of buildings, beyond their aesthetics. The findings indicate that perception skills constitute a crucial competence in architectural teaching curricula. The systematisation of hand drawing surveys, applying layering superimposing, is a valuable method to enhance these capacities practically. The results reinforce that early engagement with analytical drawing improves students’ ability to integrate conceptual and technical aspects in design, supporting a progressive transition to digital tools. Additionally, the results highlight the pedagogical value of vernacular studies in promoting adaptive and sustainable design thinking, reinforcing the need for a balanced approach that synthesises traditional and contemporary methodologies in architectural education.Publication Open Access Discovering vernacular heritage and its tangible dimensions2021 - Dipasquale, Letizia; Mecca, Saverio; Carlos, Gilberto Duarte; Correia, MarianaConsidering the built environment as the most enduring receiver of human behaviour, one can easily assume vernacular heritage as an objective consequence of the essential features of specific local communities. [...]Publication Open Access Versus methodology: Development and application2023-09-01 - Correia, Mariana; Carlos, Gilberto DuarteThe development of the project VerSus / Lessons from Vernacular Heritage to Sustainable Architecture (2012-2014)1, constitutes the conceptual genesis of VerSus+ / Heritage for People (2019-2023). The two projects were developed in partnership by Escola Superior Gallaecia (ESG, now at Universidade Portu- calense - UPT), Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), University of Florence (UNIFI), University of Cagliari (UNICA), and CRAterre-ENSAG, in the framework of the Creative Europe programme. The VerSus project outcomes (available at: esg.pt/VerSus) produced important results in a short-term period, which created expectations regarding its medium and long-range impacts (Carlos et al., 2014) (Correia, Dipasquale, & Mecca, 2014), especially following the European Commission award in 2016, which recognised the VerSus project as a success story “for its impact, contribution to policy-making, innovative results and creative approach - a source of inspiration for others” (Creative Europe Project Results Platform, 2016). In 2017, the project also won the ADDIPA European Award for Architecture Heritage Intervention (3rd Edition, category D).
