    Vernacular seismic culture in Portugal: On-going research
    2015 - Gomes, Filipa; Correia, Mariana; Viana, David; Carlos, Gilberto Duarte
    This paper addresses the progress concerning the identification of the study areas, the selection of the specific case studies and the first analysis results. The study areas were designated according to their history of seismic activity. The case studies were chosen when considering the seismic resistance applied elements, the existent typological characteristics, the vernacular morphology and the current preservation of these strategies.

    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, Rui
    The 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.

    2015 - Guillaud, Hubert; Mecca, Saverio; Achenza, Maddalena; Vegas López-Manzanares, Fernando; Mileto, Camilla; Correia, Mariana; Carlos, Gilberto Duarte
    The project’s main aim is to gain knowledge from the fundamental lessons and principles of the vernacular architecture, and to explore new ways to apply those principles into modern sustainable architecture. The research was developed on the framework of VerSus: Lessons from Vernacular Heritage for Sustainable Architecture, a European research project developed by ESG/Escola Superior Gallaecia, Portugal, as Project leader; with the partnership of UPV/Universitat Politènica de València, Spain; UNICA/Università degli Studi di Cagliari, Italy; UNIFI/Università degli Studi di Firenze, Italy; and CRAterre-ENSAG/ International Centre for Earthen Architecture at Grenoble National Higher Educational School of Architecture, France. The project also received the support of the Chair UNESCOEarthen Architecture, Building Cultures & Sustainable Development, ICOMOS-ISCEAH and ICOMOS-CIAV.

    Documenting and virtual visiting world heritage in 3dpast
    2023-01-01 - Correia, Mariana; Carlos, Gilberto Duarte
    The European project 3DPAST - Living & virtual visiting European World Heritage enhanced the ex ceptional signi cance of vernacular architecture in World Heritage. The project highlighted the special character of these vernacular sites, and the intrinsic spatiality and architectural quality, daily experienced by their inhabitants. 3DPAST brought the opportunity to discover the ‘spirit of place’ of vernacular dwell ings, across Europe. The project aimed to attract new audiences to these properties, through AR experi ence in books, a Platform, and a in situ Mobile App (3DPAST is available to download at App store and Google Play).

    The traditional cultural landscape of Pico Island and its vernacular architecture, Portugal
    2021 - Bermudez, Teresa; Costa, Manuel P.; Correia, Mariana; Florentino, Rui; Alcindor, Mónica; Carlos, Gilberto Duarte; Sousa, Goreti
    In 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.

    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).

    Introduction: earthen architecture, an endangered vernacular heritage
    2021-12-21 - Carlos, Gilberto Duarte; Correia, Mariana
    Troughout 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.
