- Exploring methodological instruments and tools to support the characterization, diagnosis and intervention in the built heritage.

- Deepening knowledge on management, rehabilitation, conservation, restoration and maintenance of built heritage, considering its historical evolution and contemporary examples.

- Promoting the critical analysis of architectural design (projects and works) in the built heritage.

- Providing advanced training, skills and research methods in the area of architectural design in the built heritage.

- Promoting the multiplication of opportunities in the labour market and foster a closer relationship between the University and national and international agencies whose mission is the management and enhancement of built heritage.

- Development of skills of analysis and interpretation of architectural design in built heritage.

- Creation of skills related to methodologies of survey, characterization and diagnosis of pre-existing buildings.

- Construction of a critical thought on the abovementioned topics, through a written essay or oral presentation.

Program

The course unit proposes a critical approach to the subject of intervention in the built heritage at various levels – theories, methods and practices (in the national and international context) – in order to inform and substantiate a contemporary practice of intervention in built heritage.

 i) In the field of theories, discussion will be promoted on the evolution of the concepts of ‘monument’ and ‘heritage’ and on their contemporary meanings, as well as deepening knowledge on the history and theories of intervention in the built heritage, based on texts and works of reference by authors such as Alberti, Stern/Valadier, Viollet-le-Duc, Ruskin, Boito, Andrade, Riegl, Giovannoni, Brandi, Rogers, Scarpa, Távora, Siza, Souto Moura, Grassi, Chipperfield, Koolhas, among others.

ii) In the field of methodologies, this course proposes to inform, deepen and illustrate the study on pre-existing buildings with support on drawings and on the history of architecture (based on examples), also presenting the potential of some sources and tools for survey, characterization and diagnosis (’digital photogrammetry', 'architectural archaeology ', 'history of construction', among others).

iii) In the field of practices, in close relation with the previous items, reference interventions on built heritage will be examined and discussed, in the national and international context, focusing on different approaches (rehabilitation, restoration, conservation, maintenance) and conceptual proposals (mimesis, analogy, contrast), considering the following aspects: program adequacy; principles of relationship between new and old; tectonic and technical-constructive options; critical reception of the work, among others. In the regard, qualified practices will be presented by guests of recognized merit, allowing students the contact with real problems from outside the University.

The aim of this course unit, therefore, is to bring together diverse knowledge related with architectural design in the built heritage (in a broad and non-specialized sense) through a perspective of preferential and convergent approach: the architectural culture.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The exposition of syllabus in classes is based on the presentation of audiovisual material, the analysis of sources and case studies in the classroom context, approaches that aim to consolidate the acquired knowledge and foster critical exercise. Tutorial orientation sessions are intended to accompany work and to deepen the syllabus.

This training unit also develops with the occasional participation of guests, practical exercises, confrontation with examples or debate, encouraging interaction with the work developed. These initiatives aim to provide students with contact with real and external issues to the University, bringing together various disciplinary fields, institutions and actors.
