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.

Publication Open Access Contributions to architectural and urban resilience through vulnerability assessment: The case of Mozambique Island’s World Heritage2025-01-11 - Alvarez, Olga; Milão, Susana; Ribeiro, Telma; Correia, Mariana; Neves, Isabel Clara; Flores, JoaquimSem resumo disponível.Publication Open Access Community-driven conservation and heritage resilience on the Island of Mozambique [abstract]2025-03-27 - Zunguene, Claudio; Alale, Edy; Ribeiro, Telma; Milão, Susana; Flores, Joaquim; Correia, MarianaThe Island of Mozambique, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, possesses a rich cultural and architectural heritage increasingly threatened by extreme weather events, particularly cyclones. Sustainable conservation efforts require the involvement and empowerment of local communities to address these challenges effectively. In response to the devastating impacts of cyclones Gombe (2022) and Dilkeledi (2025), the "Resilient Mozambique" project was launched to enhance the conservation and resilience of the island's heritage. A core component of this initiative was a structured online training program, designed to equip community members and local authorities with essential skills in heritage conservation, risk assessment, and disaster preparedness. The training consisted of four thematic sessions: (i) World Heritage principles and policies (2 days); (ii) Diagnosis and Conservation methodologies (3 days), which focused on assessing the state of conservation, restoration techniques, and preventive conservation strategies; (iii) GIS applications for heritage management (5 days), aimed at developing a multi-sectoral tool for monitoring and planning interventions and assessing main risks and vulnerabilities; and (iv) habitat-resilient construction techniques (2 days), emphasizing sustainable building practices adapted to local climatic conditions. The Diagnosis and Conservation session was divided into three key components: evaluation, intervention, and planning. The first part focused on assessing the conservation state of built heritage, introducing participants to diagnostic methodologies such as visual inspections, mapping, photographic, and technical documentation. A hands-on practical session enabled participants to apply these techniques by analyzing a local building and documenting pathologies using standardized diagnostic sheets. The second component addressed intervention strategies, exploring traditional conservation techniques, compatibility of materials, and decision-making criteria for restoration. Participants engaged in a simulation exercise where they proposed interventions for the analyzed structures, encouraging critical thinking on balancing authenticity and integrity. The final section focused on long-term planning, discussing heritage management policies and the role of community participation in conservation efforts. The training concluded with a collaborative exercise in which participants drafted preliminary conservation plans, aligning local knowledge with international preservation standards. This training model sought to bridge technical expertise with local knowledge, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility within the community. By equipping participants with practical skills and theoretical foundations, the initiative aimed to build long-term resilience and improve local conservation capacities. A key discussion point is the effectiveness of remote capacity-building initiatives and the challenges of implementing conservation strategies from a distance. While preliminary results indicate increased community engagement and awareness, practical applications remain dependent on access to resources and continued institutional support. By sharing insights from this experience, this abstract contributes to the broader discourse on integrating community participation into conservation strategies for climate-vulnerable heritage sites. It highlights the necessity of tailored, locally driven approaches that empower communities to take an active role in preserving their cultural and architectural heritage.Publication Open Access Do analógico ao digital: Uma abordagem PBL com tecnologias digitais no Ensino da Arquitetura [abstract]2025-07-10 - Neves, Isabel Clara; Flores, Joaquim; Pacheco, Luís PauloDo analógico ao digital: Uma abordagem PBL com tecnologias digitais no Ensino da Arquitetura.

Estes fenómenos extremos constituem riscos significativos para o tecido urbano, o património cultural e as comunidades locais. Como resposta, são essenciais as iniciativas de capacitação dos técnicos locais e da população, para fortalecerem a gestão patrimonial e a resiliência das comunidades aos desastres naturais.
