It is also objective of the discipline to enhance the formation of theoretical reflection groups and / or preparation of intervention projects in that area, in particular for developing Master Theses in FAUP, in conjunction with other educational institutions and the Centro de Estudos de Arquitectura e Urbanismo (CEAU-FAUP); strengthening the cooperation with international partners, in terms of dimensions of research and knowledge transfer.

Learning outcomes and competences

This course aims to provide the students with reading and questioning tools in architectural heritage context, identifying the intervention in archaeological heritage as a specific intervention field, which distinguishes it from the monumental or current assets.

In terms of interpretation of the archaeological remains, witnesses of an incomplete and fragmented architecture is intended to raise awareness among students of the importance of design as an analytical tool and design, that principle applies both in the project itself, but can also be applied the other way around, from ruin to built; and no one has better tools and methods to undertake the task of deducting the absence than the architect.
