Poulton, Delwynn V. "Water conservation in Brisbane's residential landscapes : towards the optimisation of water in front garden design." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 1998. https://eprints.qut.edu.au/13614/1/13614.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
One of the most critical issues that the world faces as it enters the new millennium is the provision of a continued supply of fresh water – the source of all life. The depletion problem of this resource through uneducated use is world-wide as well as being specific to Australia. This study centres on this issue in the Australian context with particular reference to gardening practices in Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland. The study examines methods by which fresh water can be saved through innovative garden design options. The cultural philosophies which underpin Brisbane’s suburban residential front gardens were investigated through an examination of literature, painting, and letters of the early settlement days in Australia and, in particular in Queensland. The findings were used to establish the theoretical framework for a qualitative study of seventy two Brisbane gardeners and their gardens. These gardens were selected from sites in a corridor of seven suburbs occupying a south-east segment of the city. The corridor included these components – an outward historical growth pattern, a range of socio-economic and cultural issues, varying soil types, topographical forms and a variety of residential forms and styles with a range of compass frontages. Each selected gardener was encouraged to ‘talk’ about the garden and its design and ‘making’ and the comments were analysed in the light of the author’s theoretical investigations. The results of this investigation provided an understanding of current gardening practices which also involve the use of 50-60 per cent of Brisbane’s domestic water on the garden. The findings suggest that Brisbane’s, and indeed, Australian gardens are based on philosophical notions that have Eurocentric foundations. Alternative and innovative water saving practices were explored and these techniques were modified to suit the design and construction of Brisbane gardens, whilst still satisfying the cultural values behind existing garden practices. The conclusions suggest that if gardeners are to be convinced about adopting water saving techniques, future garden designs must meet existing norms in terms of form and function as well as being able to conserve water.

Full textAbstract:
The conservation of historic cultural landscapes in Queensland is in its infancy. Effective conservation practice, however is based on sound historical information, and no previous study has investigated the historical development of local parks, gardens and other landscapes. The objectives of this research were to examine the factors which influenced landscape design in Queensland, to identify the forms and expressions of design derived from these influences, and to identify any distinctive aspects related to local landscape character. The timeframe chosen for this investigation was from the beginning of the separate colony of Queensland (1859) to the outbreak of World War 2 (1939). Using historical method, the research began with an exploration of published primary sources (particularly garden literature from the 1860s to 1930s) related to Queensland and other 'tropical' areas. A series of hypotheses was proposed to explain the findings, and these were tested by further analysis and data gathering. There followed a triple-layered central proposition, suggesting that: (i) in Queensland, the traditional delineation of styles to describe landscape design is of limited application because of the lack of elite professional designers and wealthy clients; (ii) there developed a discernible 'tropical landscape design character' in suitable climatic areas, which included two distinct visual aspects expressed in the landscape (the 'exotic' and the 'prosaic'); and, (iii) these design outcomes were the result of a design process of 'acclimatisation' experienced by early settlers (gardeners and designers) working in unfamiliar lands and climates, and includes the stages of experimentation, adaptation and innovation.

As a contribution to econometric research on the role of architectural heritage, this dissertation evaluates non-aggregate data for a total of 2142 designated National Priority Protected Sites (NPPS) in China using hedonic model and ordered probit model. Attempting to verify economic costs of conserving architectural heritage sites in China, the objectives of the dissertation are to find out the grading system of NPPS; to compare the monetary value and non-monetary value methods on architectural heritage conservation; to identify the current criteria of national heritage conservation maintenance funding (NHCMF) allocation for the NPPS; and to select and evaluate the key factors of NHCMF allocation for the NPPS. The research question of this dissertation is: “what are the decision criteria of NHCMF allocation in China?”. The dissertation conceives of one general hypothesis and 17 empirical hypotheses. The general hypothesis is based on the maintenance funding and grading system of each conservation project. The empirical hypotheses are generated from possible determined factors of NHCMF allocation, theories of sustainable development, economic value and heritage value.
Based on the real market information, 7 factors have been identified as the determined factors of NHCMF allocation of NPPS. They are “average household income”, “annual economic benefit”, “average personal salary”, “population”, “ticket”, “types modern building” and “types revolutionary sites”. Of these 7 factors, on the one hand, “average household income”, “annual economic benefit”, “population”, “entry ticket fee” and “types (revolutionary sites)” have positive relationship with the maintenance cost. The positive relationship result implies that the revolutionary sites locate in economic developed area with more population and higher entry ticket fee are more likely to get more maintenance funding. On the other hand, “average personal salary” and “types (modern buildings)” have negative relationship with maintenance funding. The negative relationship result reflects that modern buildings of NPPS with higher average personal salary are less likely getting more maintenance funding.
Based on the hypothetical market data, 4 factors have been identified as the determined factors of NHCMF allocation of NPPS. The factors of “population and “annual economic benefit” have the same relationship with monetary market data. The “maintenance funding” and “original usage” have negative relationship with grading system.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
The demolition of Star Ferry Pier and Queen’s Ferry Pier, the controversial conservation approaches for Wan Chai Market and Central Market, and the recent crisis owing to proposed demolition of West Wing of Central Government Offices raise my deep concern on conservation of architecture of recent past. During public consultation for conservation approach for these modern buildings, the term of “collective memory” is widely adopted as the only core value of and justification to preservation. The architectural value of buildings of this period (i.e. 1950s - 80s) in Hong Kong, however, are always looked down or undervalued by conservation experts and general public owing to sheer quantities of such building type in our community.
This dissertation is to look into characters of modern architecture, values of such building type to our community and identify their exemplary works in Hong Kong. Through study of world-wide development of conserving modern architecture as built heritage in this dissertation, it tells us Hong Kong is far behind on this issue. We could not wait, but take our first step to safeguard the modern architectural heritage of our city. In the last chapter, therefore, we suggest major steps for conserving modern built heritage in Hong Kong – identification, registration, documentation, and study whether our modern built heritage could meet the six selection criteria of the World Heritage List.
Recently, I am pleased to learn that Hong Kong is applying for membership of Working Party on the Documentation and Conservation of Buildings, Sites and Neighborhoods of the Modern Movement (i.e. DOCOMOMO – Hong Kong). I wish the research result in this dissertation could contribute to such application.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
This thesis undertakes a critical assessment of the impact of Statutory Legislation and UNESCO World Heritage Designation upon the sustainability and continued use of historic industrial buildings, utilising the late 18th Century Georgian Industrial Buildings of Darley Abbey Mills, Derby, as a case study. This thesis provides an indepth and longitudinal analysis of the morphology and evolution of Darley Abbey Mills between 2006-2015, during this time the assessment of whether the mills would find a sustainable and continued contemporary use has shifted from a concern that the site was slowly disintegrating with the danger of an important historical artefact being lost for ever or becoming irrevocably damaged through lack of maintenance and repair to a position where the future of the mills is looking promising. What makes Darley Abbey Mills so unusual or unique is that it possesses the highest possible levels of statutory protection, but that is also under private ownership. The initial findings in an analysis of policy documents and planning applications between 2006- 2010 was that there was limited engagement with the external heritage and conservations stakeholders or the Local Authority, an ‘umbrella of statutory protection’ was not providing barriers or protecting the site, there was just a lack of action by all parties. This changed during the period 2010-13 when the site came under new unified ownership, the new owners started to make small adaptations and repairs to the site that enabled them to encourage new tenants from the creative and artisan communities to the site, however all of this work was not authorised, nor was planning permission sought. Although there was still a lack of enforcement of what can be seen as ‘aspirational urbanism’, a dialogue was started between the owners and the wider stakeholder community. Between 2013-2015, the relationship between all of the stakeholders became more formalised and an unofficial partnership was formed between the owners and the monitoring bodies that resulted in the successful planning application to adapt the West Mills and Long Mill, which moved some of the way towards ensuring the sustainable and continued use of Darley Abbey Mills.

O'Grady, Rachel. "Collaborative heritage conservation in Tajganj : investigating civic possibilities in the urban order through architectural making." Thesis, London Metropolitan University, 2018. http://repository.londonmet.ac.uk/1425/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the claims made by architectural heritage on the urban order and investigates how architects might better contribute to practices of heritage conservation. There are conflicting opinions amongst residents, historians, academics and municipal authorities as to which parts of Tajganj, North India qualify as architectural heritage, and how they should be conserved. Currently, there is no effective institution for constructively negotiating these views. The only methods of heritage identification and repair carried out by the government reinforce an attitude to conservation inherited from the European preservationist movement: a centralised, monument-focused approach that contributes to the destruction of small-scale, resident-led practices of maintenance. Outside of the government’s programme of monument protection, development practitioners in India have embraced certain types of conservation project which are perceived to benefit residents in run-down, historic neighbourhoods: guided walks, ‘heritage houses’, and the ‘revival’ of traditional crafts are often intended to introduce a tourism economy to low-income areas. This thesis describes my collaboration with a group of residents, NGO workers and local craftspeople to critically reinvent these familiar conservation motifs through architectural making. A portfolio of drawings presented alongside the text was made during the process to clarify and develop the views towards conservation that emerged. The research demonstrates that civic praxis in Tajganj relies on an inherited order of architectural settings through which recent memories, accounts left by previous generations, and the conception of a shared past reaching beyond material remains influence the way that urban places are reimagined and developed. I argue for creative approaches to conservation that more self-consciously bring received cultural horizons into dialogue with the particular demands of the project to better understand both. Only then can the places we make bring with them opportunities to ethically interpret our commitment to a city held in common.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses the roles played by international, national, regional and local organisations and discourses in the heritage valorisation and conservation of modernist architecture – a process that has so far spanned some three decades. A leading role in this narrative has been played by international conservation organisations, which have acted as a unifying front for conservation advocacy and defined a conservation ideology that integrates the principles of both the modern movement and the conservation movement. Partly, this international emphasis has stemmed from the characteristics of the 20th century Modern Movement itself, including its strong strain of cosmopolitanism, as well as its still controversial reputation today at a local level. This initially gave the proselytising of modernist conservation a somewhat elite, trans-national character, exemplified by pioneering organisations such as DOCOMOMO. Yet the ‘internationalism’ of modernist conservation is only part of the story – for to establish this innovative new strand of heritage on a more entrenched basis, the familiar, more locally specific organisations and discourses that had supported previous phases of conservation growth were also increasingly applied to ‘MoMo’ heritage. This ‘on the ground’ involvement represented a convergence with more ‘traditional’ conservation practices, both in advocacy and campaigning, and in the research-led documentation required to document buildings’ significance and continued fitness for purpose. These geographically-specific forces operate at both a national level and also a regional or even local scale, as the thesis illustrates by the two national case studies of Great Britain and the United States of America. Although both countries shared numerous cultural similarities, especially the 19th century veneration of private property, the far more emphatic 20th century turn towards state interventionism in Britain led to a strong divergence regarding modernist heritage, both in the overall character of the modernist architecture built in the two countries (far more ‘capitalistic’ in the US) and in the approach to heritage conservation (more state-dominated in GB). In Great Britain, following on from the comprehensive post-WWII government ‘listing’ programme, the statutory heritage bodies – ‘regionally’ differentiated between England and Scotland - have maintained their leading role in the conservation of modern movement heritage through initiatives to identify buildings of significance, and powerful city planning authorities have provided co-ordinated enforcement. In the US, on the other hand, heritage protection has stayed faithful to its philanthropic roots and the onus of modern movement conservation is left to voluntary advocacy groups who then must campaign to have buildings protected piecemeal by local city or state preservation bodies.

Örn, Tomas. "Energy efficiency in heritage buildings : Conservation approaches and their impact on energy efficiency measures." Licentiate thesis, Luleå tekniska universitet, Arkitektur och vatten, 2018. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:ltu:diva-68405.
Full textAbstract:
The impeding climate change challenge urges for a reduction of energy use in the built environment. Buildings account for nearly 40% of the total energy use and about 35% of the greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. EU member states are required to improve the energy efficiency of the existing building stock, for example by sharpening building regulations and developing enforcement schemes. Since energy efficiency retrofits can affect irreplaceable values in heritage buildings, heritage buildings are often excluded from mandatory demands aiming at reducing the energy use in buildings. However, saving energy have gradually become embraced by the conservation community and heritage buildings with are seen as part of the solution. This licentiate thesis discusses the methods to identify heritage significance in a building and how the underlying theory determines different scenarios in a energy retrofitting process. The choice of conservation theory and conservation approach will affect the success the energy retrofitting process and determine how much the energy use that can be reduced. This thesis therefore suggests a framework to understand the different interpretation of the impacts that one could exert either by having an Objectivistic or Relative conservation value approach.. Based on this framework, a decision-support tool is developed to further detail the impacts of such approaches for different energy measures. Other results show that a majority of reviewed research publications focused on the operational energy in a building and only a few were concerned with energy use over the entire life- cycle of a building. These analyses are used to evaluate where most energy savings can be made, and often pinpoint weak spots in the building’s envelope or technical system. If it was mentioned at all, the influence of cultural and historical factors on energy efficiency measures as applied to heritage buildings tended to be assessed only briefly. Indeed, the majority does not describe conservation principles or even mention the methodology used – if any – for assessing or defining heritage values. Instead, researchers often show an explicit (sometimes an implicit) understanding of conservation as essentially something that is not destructive of original construction material and hence the authenticity of a building. This licentiate thesis is a compilation thesis, consisting of one separate sub-study, one literature review and an extended cover essay. The study is oriented towards a Swedish and European context, especially when it comes to climate conditions and discussions on building regulations and the theory and practice of architectural conservation. It addresses the growing research field of energy efficiency in heritage buildings and the thesis aims to contribute to an increased understanding on how the process of assessment and evaluation of heritage significance in buildings affects the making of heritage buildings more energy efficient. The main research question is: How do different approaches for assessing and evaluating heritage significance in buildings affect possible technical energy saving measures in heritage buildings?Klimatförändringarna driver utvecklingen mot att energianvändningen i den byggda miljön behöver minska. Byggnader står för nästan 40% av den totala energianvändningen och cirka 35% av utsläppen av växthusgaser i Europa. EUs medlemsländer är bundna att förbättra energieffektiviteten hos befintliga byggnader, till exempel genom att skärpa byggreglerna och utveckla handlingsplaner. Eftersom energieffektiviseringar kan påverka värden i kulturhurhistoriska byggnader, är dessa ofta undantagna från krav som syftar till att minska energianvändningen i byggnader. Energibesparing och resurshushållning har gradvis blivit omfamnad av kulturmiljösektorn och kulturhistoriska byggnader betraktas allt mer som en del av lösningen på klimatförändringarna. I licentiatavhandlingen diskuteras metoderna för att identifiera kulturhistoriska värden i en byggnad och hur den underliggande teorin påverkar olika scenarier i en energieffektiviseringprocess. Valet av bevarandeteori och bevarandestrategi påverkar framgångsfaktorn i energieffektivseringen och hur mycket energianvändningen i en kulturhistorisk byggnad kan minskas. I denna avhandling föreslås därför ett teoretiskt ramverk för att förstå effekterna av de olika kulturhistoriska bedömningar som kan göras, antingen genom att använda ett objektivistiskt eller en relativ syn på hur en en byggnads kulturhistoriska värden skapas och bäst bevaras. Utifrån detta teoretiska ramverk har ett stöd för beslutsfattande utvecklats för att ytterligare beskriva effekterna av de olika bevarandestrategiernas påverkan på implementeringen av olika energieffektiviserande åtgärder. Andra resultat visar att en majoritet av de granskade forskningspublikationerna fokuserade på den operativa energin i en byggnad och bara ett fåtal gällde energianvändning under hela livscykeln i en byggnad. Dessa analyser används för att utvärdera var de flesta energibesparingar kan göras och ofta identifiera svaga punkter i byggnadens klimatskal eller tekniska system. Om det nämndes alls tenderade inflytandet av kulturella och historiska faktorer på energieffektivitetsåtgärder som tillämpas på arvsbyggnader endast att bedömas kortfattat. Faktum är att majoriteten av de genomgångna publikationerna inte beskriver bevarandeprinciper och inte nämner den metod som används för att bedöma eller definiera kulturhistoriska värden. Istället används ofta en explicit (ibland en implicit) förståelse för bevarande som i huvudsak något som inte förstör ursprungligt material och därmed autenticitet i en byggnad. Denna licentiatavhandling består av en separat undersökning, en litteraturöversikt och en utökad kappa. Studien är inriktad på ett svenskt och europeiskt sammanhang, särskilt när det gäller klimatförhållanden och diskussioner om byggregler och teori och praktik för kulturhistoriskt bevarande av byggnader. Den är en del av det växande forskningsområdet energieffektivisering i kulturhistoriska byggnader och avhandlingen syftar till att bidra till en ökad förståelse för hur utvärderingen av kulturhistoriska värden i byggnader påverkar arbetet med att göra dem mer energieffektiva. Huvudforskningsfrågan är: Hur påverkar olika metoder för bedömning och utvärdering av kulturhistoriska värden energibesparande åtgärder i kulturhistoriska byggnader?

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the twentieth century architecture from the perspective of conservation. The criteria of conservation have changed as the idea of conserving a single monument has progressed into the acceptance of the need to conserve different cultural properties and the field has been enriched with new notions, such as the twentieth century architectural heritage. The main concern in this thesis is to present these current debates about and developments in the conservation of the twentieth century architecture in the world and in Turkey. Such a study initially entails to deal with the basic issues of conservation, the twentieth century architecture in the world and in Turkey and its conservation, and to form a detailed documentation of registered twentieth century buildings. With reference to the information gathered from this study and by examining the registration decisions of buildings the aim is to analyse the practice of the conservation of the twentieth century architecture in Ankara as an exemplary case of the current situation of the field in these terms in Turkey.

Full textAbstract:
Architectural heritage, as an important form of the past, has been attracted increasing awareness. Nowadays there is a shared common view in the world that to protect architectural heritage reasonably and based on scientific methods is a necessity of our age. This dissertation intends to analyze and compare the policies for the protection of the architectural heritage in East Asian and European countries. Japan, China, Singapore, Italy, Britain and Germany are selected as representative countries.
This dissertation is a non-empirical study, the main method for research is the documentary analysis. The contents of relevant literature and documents were comparatively analyzed by focusing on three issues: legislation, administration, finance. Each issue within six representative countries is described respectively. Based on such descriptions, a comprehensive comparison of each issue is conducted. These descriptions and comparisons can form the results of study and provide a remarkable insight into such issues of architectural heritage conservation in East Asian and European countries.
The conservation legislation of the representative countries is examined respectively in the process of reviewing their conservation movement. As a result of the review process, the main laws that apply to their present conservation practices are presented. Important provisions concerning architectural conservation of the main laws are described; some possible similarities and differences of these provisions are analyzed and compared. This can deliver a general understanding about the policy framework or institutions in these countries\' architectural conservation.
The administrative structures of the representative countries are analyzed from four levels: national, regional or local, consultation commissions and civic organizations. This dissertation summarizes some main authorities or organizations responsible for architectural conservation and their duties. In reference to previous descriptions, this dissertation analyzes and compares the characteristics of administrative structures of architectural conservation in East Asian and European countries based on the national and regional/local authorities. It can be concluded that most countries have been moving towards decentralization with varying degrees since the last decades of the 20th century. This dissertation also explores some possible motives for decentralized administration, analyzes the status quo of decentralization in the field of architectural conservation in different East Asian and European countries.
This dissertation also provides an overview of their different financial policies in the field of architectural conservation from two aspects: direct public finance and indirect finance. In their conservation practices, direct public funds invested in architectural conservation projects mainly come from central and local subsidies. Two proportions of central and local subsidies in conservation projects are summarized. This dissertation concludes that direct public finance is the main source of their conservation funds but the supply of direct public finance is often limited. In this context, this dissertation argues the important role of indirect finance in the field of architectural conservation, gives some possible ways to improve the efficiency of indirect financing.

Full textAbstract:
This piece of work analyses the existing condition of the Brazilian. architectural heritage, focusing especially on the historic cities. In order to make it possible, the study first of all analyses the Brazilian historical background with the purpose of establishing a relationship between the circumstances and conditions in which these cities were created. Initially, the scenery of the landscape, the geographical aspects of nature, the climate and the people who converged on this New World in South America, thus initiating the Brazilian diversity of culture and behaviour, are considered. Historical, political, social, and financial factors which were involved in the construction of these cities are also shown in order to facilitate the understanding of their character and meaning. The aim of this study is to analyse aspects of the conservation of listed buildings in these special areas known as historic cities. In order to evaluate the extent of the problem, and because the Brazilian official institution which is responsible for the care of the heritage is supported by the government, specific situations occurring in different regions will be shown. The legislation related to the protection of the listed artefacts in which are included listed buildings and also urban areas is analysed in its application and results. This study takes into account the most important concentration of historic cities in Brazil, which were constructed in the eighteenth century, in the state of Minas Gerais, and then, describes the in-depth research conducted in one of these special cities - Mariana - in order to provide data and arguments for the evaluation of the protection of the historic cities in Brazil. Looking initially at the whole of the Brazilian architectural heritage values, and then focusing on a special area in order to study and evaluate rules and schemes concerning the protection and conservation of the historic cities, this research aims to find a methodology for the restoration and conservation of those cities as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
Les pratiques de conservation et restauration de monuments historiques requièrent l’élaboration de diagnostics impliquant différents intervenants au sein de contextes d’études pluridisciplinaires. L’état de conservation d’un objet patrimonial est ainsi étudié et décrit au moyen d’observations directes, de sources documentaires et de données analytiques de natures différentes. Les avancées des technologies numériques en matière de collecte, traitement et gestion de données, offrent aujourd’hui une opportunité sans précédent pour intégrer les résultats de ces observations et ces données au sein de systèmes innovants de représentation pour la documentation et la connaissance du patrimoine. Cependant, si une panoplie de nouveaux outils est aujourd’hui à disposition de la communauté des scientifiques et des professionnels du patrimoine, le problème d’une corrélation pertinente de ces données et de ces informations hétérogènes reste peu exploré. Tout d’abord, si ces nouveaux outils permettent aux différents experts de mémoriser et d’analyser leurs observations sur différents supports, les données générées par ces différents experts ne sont généralement pas spatialisées autour d’un même référentiel spatial. En effet, même si toutes ces données se réfèrent à un objet physique commun, les liens entre elles ne peuvent que s’établir par des stratégies d’organisation de fichiers ou par des méthodes d’indexation basées sur des mots clés. Parallèlement, si dans les dernières années plusieurs techniques de numérisation 3D ont été expérimentées dans le but de générer des représentations géométriques denses et précises, les méthodes de traitement et de structuration de ces données 3D ne fournissent pas encore de cadres opérationnels pour l’extraction d'informations pertinentes pour l’analyse et l’interprétation de l’état de conservation. En se positionnant à l'intersection entre les domaines de l’acquisition spatialisée 3D et des systèmes d’informations, ce travail de recherche propose une ontologie de domaine dédiée à l’annotation sémantique de représentations 3D d’objets patrimoniaux visant à la constitution d’un environnement numérique pour la description de l’état de conservation des monuments historiques. Par l’interconnexion de descripteurs qualitatifs (reliés à une formalisation des connaissances du domaine) et qualitatifs, cette ontologie constitue l'échafaudage conceptuel structurant un système d’informations multidimensionnelles dédié à la corrélation spatiale, géométrique et sémantique de jeux d’annotations élaborés par des acteurs multiples et en fonction de niveaux de lecture multiplesThe conservation and restauration of historical monuments require a diagnostic analysis carried out by a multidisciplinary team. The elaboration of the diagnosis of a cultural Heritage Object requires direct observations, the examination of documentary sources as well as of diverse types of analytic data. The great advancements in digital processing, management and data collection opened unprecedented opportunities for integrating results, coming from both observations and derivative data, within innovating representation systems for heritage knowledge and documentation. However, if a range of new tools and data is today available to the scientific community and heritage experts, their correlation and integration with internal/external heterogeneous information is an issue that still remain unexplored. While these innovative tools allow different experts to record and analyze their observations with diverse formats, the results are generally not spatialized and referenced together. Indeed, even though all these data refer to a common physical object, the links between them is based only on file organization strategies or by keyword-based indexation methods. In parallel, in recent years, several 3D digitization technics has been used for generating dense and accurate geometrical representations, but the processing and structuration method of these 3D data don’t include yet an operational framework for retrieving relevant information regarding their conservation state and an interpretative analysis. Positioned in the intersection between 3D spatialized acquisition domain and information management, this research work aims to the creation of a digital framework for recording conservation state description of historical monument throughout the introduction of a functional domain ontology for the semantic annotations of heritage objects 3D representations. The proposed ontology comprises both qualitative (related to a domain knowledge formalization) and quantitative descriptors, constituting the necessary conceptual scaffold for structuring a multidimensional information system dedicated to the correlation of spatial, geometrical and semantic multi-actor annotations in relation to multiple observation levels

Pretende o presente estudo verificar qual a influência que as Normas e Regulamentos assumem na aplicação de materiais e tecnologias tradicionais na recuperação de edifícios no Centro Histórico de Serpa e, como tal, na preservação de um aglomerado urbano no Alentejo.
O primeiro regulamento aplicado em Serpa foi o Regulamento Geral das Edificações Urbanas (RGEU), em 1951. Apenas trinta anos depois, na década de oitenta, vários outros documentos regulamentares começaram a ser criados em contexto concelhio, cuja articulação possibilitou a gestão do edificado urbano. De realçar que, dos sete planos e regulamentos publicados, quatro pretendem apenas regulamentar a preservação das características arquitetónicas do centro histórico de Serpa. Os restantes três, aplicam-se a todo o concelho.
É, nesta sequência, que se constitui relevante analisar intervenções levadas a cabo no centro histórico de Serpa, as quais foram alvo de licença por parte da autarquia desde 1951 até 2006. Foi, assim, selecionada uma área que se insere na região interior às muralhas desta cidade, zona que reúne edifícios mais antigos, dotados de características arquitetónicas únicas e de grande riqueza. Trata-se, pois, de um estudo que, com base na análise dos processos de obras registadas durante o período de tempo identificado, procura verificar a aplicação das normas e regulamentos vigentes à data da intervenção em causa, dando especial relevância ao parecer técnico elaborado pelos responsáveis da autarquia e a influência que tiveram na preservação do centro histórico de Serpa; ABSTRACT: The present study intends to check the influence that the Rules and Regulations assume the application of traditional technologies and materials in the restoration of buildings in the historic center of Serpa, and thus the preservation of an urban agglomeration in the Alentejo.
The first regulation applied in Serpa was the General Regulations of Urban Buildings (RGEU) in 1951. Only thirty years later, in the eighties, several other regulatory documents began to be created in the municipal context, which enabled the joint management of the urban built environment. Note that, of the seven plans and regulations published, four intend to regulate only the preservation of the architectural features of the historic center of Serpa. The remaining three apply to the entire county.
It is this sequence that is relevant to analyze interventions undertaken in the historic center of Serpa, which were subject to licensing by the local authority from 1951 to 2006. It was therefore selected an area that falls within the interior region to the walls of this city, area that meets older buildings, endowed with unique architectural features and great wealth. It is therefore of a study, based on analysis of the processes of works registered during the time period identified, try to verify the application of the rules and regulations at the time of the intervention in question, with particular relevance to the technical report prepared by the responsible authority and the influence it had on the preservation of the historic center of Serpa.

Full textAbstract:
Brisbane City Hall (BCH) is arguably one of Brisbane’s most notable and iconic buildings. Serving as the public’s central civic and municipal building since 1930, the importance of this heritage listed building to cultural significance and identity is unquestionable. This attribute is reflected within the local government, with a simplified image of the halls main portico entrance supplying Brisbane City Council with its insignia and trademark signifier. Regardless of these qualities, this building has been neglected in a number of ways, primarily in the physical sense with built materials, but also, and just as importantly, through inaccurate and undocumented works. Numerous restoration and renovation works have been undertaken throughout BCH’s lifetime, however the records of these amendments are far and few between. Between 2010 and 2013, BCH underwent major restoration works, the largest production project undertaken on the building since its initial construction. Just prior to this conservation process, the full extent of the buildings deterioration was identified, much of which there was little to no original documentation of. This has led to a number of issues pertaining to what investigators expected to find within the building, versus what was uncovered (the unexpected), which have resulted directly from this lack of data. This absence of record keeping is the key factor that has contributed to the decay and unknown deficiencies that had amassed within BCH. Accordingly, this raises a debate about the methods of record keeping, and the need for a more advanced process that is able to be integrated within architectural and engineering programs, whilst still maintaining the ability to act as a standalone database. The immediate objective of this research is to investigate the restoration process of BCH, with focus on the auditorium, to evaluate possible strategies to record and manage data connected to building pathology so that a framework can be developed for a digital heritage management system. The framework produced for this digital tool will enable dynamic uses of a centralised database and aims to reduce the significant data loss. Following an in-depth analysis of this framework, it can be concluded that the implementation of the suggested digital tool would directly benefit BCH, and could ultimately be incorporated into a number of heritage related built form.

Full textAbstract:
The rehabilitation of urban environments by giving old buildings new functions is an old practice, but policies meant for encouraging rehabilitation trace their American origins back to the 1960s with the growing criticism of urban renewal plans and the rise of historic preservation values. In the U.S., historic rehabilitation has proven to be a way of revitalizing cities which have faced deindustrialization, disinvestment and shrinking tax revenues. Built heritage is especially vulnerable in these places because of the willingness of city governors to attract investment and development at any costs. This willingness of local authorities to let developers run amock in their cities might prove to be a bad strategy in the long run, even though it can bring capital back into the city fairly quick. In a climate of toughening regional and global competition over tourism and the location of business headquarters, the images and cultures of cities have gained an increasing importance. Careful and well planned redevelopment of the built environment has an crucial role to play in the re-imaging of industrial cities. Not including the new jobs and other direct economic benefits of rehabilitation, historic structures carry a large part of a city’s character and identity, ingredients desperately sought after when cities need to get an edge and show why they are worth visiting or relocating to. This paper has argued that successful rehabilitation not only makes use of the historic built environment, but also that it has the potential of renegotiating and redefining the history of a city (or at least parts of it). In this way rehabilitation can prove to have great public benefits in making new spaces available for public access and civic intercourse. City governors should not just look at quick economic benefits. A city where the urban fabric has been destroyed through profit-oriented and shortsighted development runs the risk of having gone into a dead end. A more prosperous future for the population, not just the developers, might instead be found in democratically planned and financially scaled down solutions in which the built environment is systematically reused. American developers and cities have proven to be successful in making rehabilitation financially successful for the property owner. Considerably less interest have been shown for the public benefits of these projects, often making them into isolated enclaves lacking legitimacy among the public and causing conflicts within the neighborhood. Developers are repeatedly accused of gentrification, displacement and for ignoring the public need for affordable housing. Despite the unclear public benefits these projects are often heavily subsidized on federal, state as well as city level. After having dealt with the growing general importance of cultural policies for cities, U.S. policies on historic rehabilitation are discussed and two large redevelopment projects in Baltimore and Durham presented. After that a Swedish case of inner city redevelopment through rehabilitation is presented, showing a contrast in both national policy and local practice. Swedish redevelopment has not been subsidized in the same generous manner as in many states of the U.S., and it has been more integrated into urban planning. In the Swedish case the city governors were not interested in preserving the built environment, but due to disinvestment new construction did not occur. In the 1970s, there was a consensus between leading politicians and local developers that preservation values would not be allowed to stand in the way of development. Until the early 1980s there was also a lack of local public support for preserving industrial buildings, as in many deindustrialized cities where industry has come to symbolize unemployment and stigmatization. The unique environment of the Industrial Landscape was finally preserved not through the actions of local government, but of architectural historians and curators representing government authority. Development of the historic district needed close monitoring at a national level since the developer had a very strong influence on local politics. In Swedish preservation policies local authorities have the possibility to landmark and protect environments much in the same way as in many U.S. cities with preservation commissions. If an urban plan seems to interfer with preservation goals, however, national authorities have the possibility of intervening in a similar way to that of state preservation offices in the U.S. In the 1990s development within the Industrial Landscape went into a more mature and democratically influenced phase in which goals of public access and attractiveness became increasingly important. The lesson from Sweden shows that redevelopment through rehabilitation can be affordable and that it does not need a whole lot of public subsidy. It also shows that the historical and aesthetic values need to be stressed in order for the development project to win the public support that is needed in a democratically lead community. The political leadership in this city, paralyzed by economic crisis, was heavily influnced by the developer, who was a large property owner in the city. But through monitoring, academic research and participation in public debate by preservation professionals, the table was turned and the preservation of the Industrial Landscape gained more and more support from the city in the 1980s. Instead of giving subsidies to the developer, the government located a national museum of labor to the district at a time in which economic support was badly needed. This showed that successful rehabilitation was possible here and that it would have considerable public benefits. Finally, it is also argued that the historical experiences of the national preservation movements have influenced the way rehabilitation is carried out. In Sweden, historic preservation has largely been a task for national government, whereas in the U.S. it has to a large extent been organized through national and local non-profit organizations buying up properties and lobbying for preservation causes. In this way historic preservation has been more integrated in Swedish urban politics, whereas in the U.S. preservationists have been identified as just one interest among others.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, com a especialização em Arquitetura apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre.A presente dissertação tem por objectivo investigar e evidenciar as vantagens da aplicação da fotogrametria, e possíveis integrações com outros métodos de levantamento, como seja o varrimento laser terrestre, posicionamento por GPS, entre outros, para realizar levantamentos de construções patrimoniais ou eruditas e a respectiva produção de documentação base para viabilizar intervenções de conservação, restauro ou reabilitação. A motivação para a investigação advém da aplicação flexível, versátil, simples, acessível, e baixo-custo da fotogrametria em projectos de levantamento pequenos ou extensos. Tenciona-se igualmente colmatar as desvantagens tradicionais da fotogrametria, nomeadamente a transição entre espaços interiores e exteriores, e registo de espaços estreitos, de difícil acesso, e de geometrias complexas, num único projecto de documentação. Pretende-se ultrapassar estas dificuldades através da utilização máxima das potencialidades da fotogrametria com o uso de imagens olho de peixe e apenas como último recurso utilizar instrumentos complementares. No caso de estudo principal, o Castelo do Convento de Cristo, demonstra-se a aplicação dos métodos investigados. Nos casos de estudo secundários abordam-se problemas parcelares, desde elementos decorativos até à totalidade do edificado: Convento dos Capuchos, em Sintra; Alcáçova e trecho de muralha do Castelo de Sesimbra; Igreja de Stº André, em Mafra; entre outros. Os casos auxiliaram na determinação de procedimentos a generalizar posteriormente. Por fim, propõem-se algoritmos que auxiliam na produção de documentação.
ABSTRACT: The present dissertation aims to research and demonstrate the advantages of the application of photogrammetry, and its possible integrations with other methods, such as terrestrial laser scanning, GPS positioning, and among others, to perform surveys of heritage or erudite buildings and respective production of base documentation to enable interventions of conservation, restoration, or rehabilitation. The motivation for researching is due to the flexible, versatile, simple, affordable, and low-cost application of photogrammetry in small and extensive survey projects. It is also intended to overcome the traditional disadvantages of photogrammetry, such as the transition between interior and exterior spaces, and difficulty of recording narrow, hard-to-access, and complex geometric spaces, in a single project. It is intended to overcome such challenges by maximizing the potential uses of photogrammetry with the use of fisheye images and by using other survey instruments as a last resort. In the main case study, the Castle of the Convent of Christ, the application of the investigated methods is demonstrated. In the secondary case studies, partial problems are addressed, ranging from decorative elements to the entire building: Convento dos Capuchos, in Sintra; Citadel and section of a wall of the Castle of Sesimbra; Igreja de St André, in Mafra; among others; The case studies aided in determining general procedures. Finally, algorithms that accelerate the production of documentation are proposed.

Full textAbstract:
International discussions on the conservation of the twentieth-century architectural heritage emphasize the diversity of the whole of the built environment of the entire century, rather than limiting consideration to canonic examples of the architectural historiography during the identification and assessment of the properties to be conserved. In contrast to this international holistic and inclusive approach, the approach to the identification and assessment of the properties in Turkey has in general been selective and exclusive. The early Republican architectural heritage of Turkey is defined through canonical examples drawn from the architectural historiography. On the other hand, more modest, anonymous examples, which constitute the great majority of the built environment of the period, are excluded from conservation status. The main argument of this dissertation is that the current exclusive approach, which selects only some important properties for conservation according to their physical characteristics, is far from understanding the political, institutional and social transformations of the early Republican period, as well as the role of architecture in this transformation. On the basis of this idea, a new assessment approach is proposed in this dissertation which could enable to gain conservation status to the whole diversity of early Republican architecture including more modest examples as well as the canonical ones. Contrary to the current exclusive approach which assesses the end product of a process according to its physical characteristics, the proposed approach is inclusive, taking into consideration the formation and usage processes with all their participating meanings and values and considering these processes along with the final physical form of the building itself. The proposed new approach is tested here on the specific case of the primary school buildings of Izmir, the great majority of which are currently remain out of conservation status due to their rather modest physical qualifications. The dissertation concludes that these buildings are an integral part of the education policies of the early Republican period, of the cultural and social transformations informed by these policies, and of the role of architecture in this process, and that these buildings are the tangible evidences of the meanings and values of this formation process. It then goes on to reveal the necessity of understanding the formation process through extensive research in order to be able to incorporate these meanings and values into the assessment phase.

Este trabalho apresenta a investigação das técnicas construtivas empregadas nas obras de construtores italianos ou seus descendentes no final do século XIX e início do século XX em Pelotas – cidade da zona sul do Brasil. O crescimento da economia industrial propiciado pela produção do charque e o conseqüente desenvolvimento urbano do município neste período da sua história impulsionaram o movimento migratório de profissionais europeus tanto da área técnica como artística. Entre muitos imigrantes, trabalharam arquitetos, escultores, construtores e artífices provenientes da Itália na construção dos principais prédios da cidade, fossem eles públicos ou privados, cujos procedimentos construtivos não se encontram em documentos ou registros bibliográficos. Sabendo-se que o desenvolvimento econômico e social de uma comunidade não dispensa a valorização de sua história, cujo patrimônio arquitetônico se inclui, e depois de transcorrido mais de um século do início da execução destas obras, é inegável a necessidade de conservação, manutenção ou restauração destas construções. Os resultados da investigação, bem como as descrições e comparações com a tecnologia construtiva difundida neste período no país origem dos profissionais, permitiram concluir que os construtores italianos aplicaram as técnicas construtivas comumente utilizadas na Itália, bem como materiais importados ou encontrados na região. Este trabalho possibilitou uma ampla caracterização da tecnologia construtiva utilizada e a documentação dos dados obtidos passa a ser referência para as futuras intervenções e pesquisas sobre o tema.This work consists of a survey of the building technology used by Italian builders and their descendants at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century in Pelotas, a town in southern Brazil. The economic growth which resulted from jerked meat production and the ensuing urban development of the town in this historical period encouraged the migration of European professionals, both in technical and artistic areas. Among the immigrants were Italian architects, sculptors, builders and craftsmen who contributed to erect some of the most significant buildings in town, both public and private. Unfortunately the building procedures used by these professionals were not documented, nor do they have any bibliographical references. The undeniable need of conservation, maintenance or restoration of these buildings after over a century has elapsed since they were constructed is a fact inasmuch as the economic and social development of a community cannot exclude its historical appreciation. This research enabled the identification of building procedures and imported or regional materials which were used by these builders on the remaining construction of the period. The survey’ results, besides the connection to the technique and materials used in their country of origin at the time, enabled an extensive characterization of building technology applied and can be reference database to future intervention or research about this subject.

Full textAbstract:
Saint-Louis du Sénégal, sur la côte occidentale de l'Afrique, est une ville d'une rare spécificité. Première cité construite sur le Continent Noir par les Européens au XVIIe siècle, elle a hérité d'un patrimoine urbanistique et architectural riche de par sa diversité et son originalité. Pourtant ces vestiges de l'époque coloniale sont aujourd'hui menacés : des contingences économiques, climatiques, ainsi que l'usure du temps font qu'à présent, une grande partie des bâtisses sont au mieux en ruines, au pire ont disparu. A l'heure où les pouvoirs publics semblaient ne pas savoir comment faire face au problème des dégradations du bâti, un espoir est venu de l'Unesco qui a classé l'île de Saint-Louis au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco. A cette première intervention est venu s'ajouter une réorganisation de la gouvernance locale dans un contexte de décentralisation jouant des partenariats avec des ONG mais aussi des atouts de la coopération décentralisée. En conséquence, le patrimoine architectural subit de multiples initiatives de restauration et de valorisation. Il est devenu le prétexte, le support et le cadre d'un dynamisme nouveau qui s'exprime de manière visible voire spectaculaire dans la progression de l'activité touristique, l'essor du commerce et des services ; un dynamisme qui n'est pas sans tensions allant jusqu'à remettre en question le patrimoine exploitéSaint-Louis, of Senegal, is located in the West African coast. It is a very typical town. It was the first city ever built by Europeans on the Black Continent during the XVIIth century, and inherited a town-planning and architectural heritage which is consequent, because of its diversity and originality. However, those remains of the colonial era are threatened. Nowadays, most of the buildings are in ruins or have vanished, because of economic, climatic circumstances, or because of the wearing effect of time. While the public institutions seemed to be overwhelmed by this issue, the UNESCO gave hope by listing the city in the UNESCO World Heritage. In the meantime, the local government faced reorganization, and made partnerships up in a context of decentralization. Thus, the architectural heritage faces many initiatives of restoration and promotion. It now has become the pretext of a renewed process which is visible in a spectacular way, by the rise of the tourism and the development of trade and services. Moreover, this process is not without some strain, and it even put in question the exploited heritage

O objetivo desse trabalho é propor diretrizes, que fundamentem a operacionalização da manutenção predial, destinadas ao patrimônio arquitetônico, com base na abordagem de desempenho. Visando contribuir com reflexões acerca da preservação de bens históricos, adota-se como objeto o edifício Vila Penteado, construído em 1903, e que permanece hoje como um dos raros exemplos paulistas do art nouveau. A pesquisa parte do aprofundamento do estudo da análise de desempenho técnico-construtivo das edificações, ponderada pelos princípios do campo disciplinar do restauro existentes hoje no Brasil. Os aspectos projetuais e construtivos originais, bem como as intervenções mais significativas realizadas e projetadas para a Vila Penteado, ao longo da sua história, foram analisados. O estado atual de conservação do edifício foi caracterizado com base na análise integrada dos sistemas da edificação: terrapleno, fundação, estrutura, cobertura, vedos, vãos, paramentos, pavimentos, instalações eletromecânicas e hidrossanitárias. A manutenção predial, já conhecida e bem conceituada, tanto no campo da análise de desempenho de edificações, quanto no campo do restauro, é destacada como elemento central e afirmada como um conjunto de ações programadas para a salvaguarda do patrimônio arquitetônico, permitindo a continuidade das condições satisfatórias relacionadas à segurança, habitabilidade e funcionalidade. São identificados os principais desafios e dificuldades para a implementação de um programa de manutenção contínua: falta da cultura da manutenção programada e do seu projeto específico; distanciamento das ações de intervenção prática em relação aos estudos pormenorizados do edifício; escassez de recursos financeiros para contratação de serviços; falta de valorização do orçamento necessário à manutenção predial, por parte da administração pública e indisponibilidade de mão-de-obra qualificada no mercado brasileiro. São propostas diretrizes para operacionalização da manutenção rotineira, aplicáveis a edifícios com restrições ao uso e ocupação, levando em consideração o nível de desempenho esperado para os sistemas da edificação, a alocação de recursos, a necessidade de registros e documentação das obras e continuidade das ações implementadas.The main objective of this study is to propose guidelines to support the maintenance operationalization for buildings of architectural heritage based on the performance approach. To contribute to discussions about the preservation of historical assets, the Vila Penteado building will be used as the case study, built in 1903, it remains until today as one of rare example of art nouveau in São Paulo. The research starts on the deep study of the analyze of performance technical-constructive of buildings, weighted by the disciplinary principles of restoration field existing today in Brazil. The projective aspects and original constructive, as well as the most significant interventions performed and projected for Vila Penteado along its history were analyzed. The current conservation state of the building was characterized based on the integrated analyze of the edification systems: embankment, foundation, structure, coverage, walls, vain, facings, floors and electromechanical and hydro-sanitary installations. The building maintenance, already known and well conceptualized both in the field of performance analyzes of buildings as in the field of restoration, it is highlighted as the central element and confirmed as a set of actions planned for the architectural heritage protection, allowing the continuity of the satisfactory conditions regarding to the security, ability and functionality. Are identified the key challenges and difficulties to implement a continued maintenance program: lack of culture of scheduled maintenance and of its specific project, detachment of practical intervention actions regarding to the detailed studies of the building, lack of financial resources to hire services, lack of the correct budget required for the building maintenance by the public administration and the lack of qualified labor in the Brazilian market. Are proposed the guidelines for the operationalization of the maintenance routine applicable for buildings with use and occupancy restrictions, taking into account the level of expected performance for the building systems, the resources allocation, the necessities of records and

How can the public sector eff ectively intervene in and govern urban regenerationin historic environments? Th is report examines three cases of historic industrialstructures recently renewed and (partially) preserved in Norrköping, Baltimoreand Milano. In all cases the public sector in the form of national/federal state,county/state/region and municipal level approached regeneration with a spectrumof policies. Th e report studies how public policy has infl uenced generationeff ects in these formerly industrial districts. In Norrköping a redundant papermill was turned into a conference and symphony hall, in Baltimore an old foundryand machine shop was redeveloped into a mixed cooperative hub for arts andcrafts and housing, and lastly, in Milano a former state owned tobacco manufacturingplant is to be reused as a national center for fi lm making. In all threecases the new uses are defi ned as cultural and creative, in one way or the otherusing the industrial heritage of the place. Historic preservation policy clearly hasa role to play in urban regeneration. Th e selection of policy tools depends on thestructure of the public sector, the possibilities of partnerships and local politicaltraditions. Surprisingly, the Swedish case proved to be much more effi cient whenconsidering partnership, showing that the forms of cooperation in the U.S. casewas more instrumental and poorly adapted to local circumstances. Finally, theauthor ponders over the possibility of historic preservation policies to intervenemore actively in order to contribute to urban regeneration.Hur kan det off entliga gripa in i och styra förnyelsen av historiska stadsdelar ien önskvärd riktning?

Med hjälp avnordamerikansk forskning om off entlig förvaltning studerar rapporten hur dessastrategier, s.k. policyverktyg, påverkat förnyelsen och vilka deras respektive förtjänsterär. Gemensamt är också att de tre områdena har getts kulturella funktionerdär platsens historia utnyttjas. De fyra verktyg som studeras här är reglering,anslag, skattesubventioner och off entlig–privat samverkan. Vilka strategier somväljs beror på den nationella förvaltningsstrukturen, vilka möjligheter till samverkanmed andra sektorer som föreligger och på lokala och regionala politiska traditioner.En förvånande slutsats är att det svenska fallet visade sig vara betydligt mereff ektivt i sin samverkan mellan off entlig och privat sektor än det amerikanska,där samarbetsformerna visade sig vara mycket mer instrumentella och svåranpassade.I slutet av rapporter jämför och refl ekterar författaren över kulturmiljövårdensmöjligheter att mer aktivt bidra till ekonomisk och social förnyelse i städer.

Full textAbstract:
There are approximately 1300 completely or partially preserved medieval churches in Sweden. Many of these have remains of kalkmåleri (mural paintings at least partially created in lime) from the 12th throughout the 17th century. This dissertation discusses the enactments that formed the revival of this kalkmåleri between 1850 and 1980, with a focus on restoration and conservation. The decorative and monumental paintings that were created at the same time are also discussed. The study is divided into two sections: one concentrates on the mural paintings and the networks that made their (re-)enactment possible, and the second is a case study that examines kalkmåleri in four medieval churches; Vendel and Ed north of Stockholm, and Floda and Vadsbro south of Stockholm. To come close to the paintings, an eclectic methodology with analysis of written and depicted sources, interviews, and studies in situ of the paintings through mapping and analysis of taken samples was designed. The objectives were to investigate the formation of kalkmåleri as phenomena, significant concepts, and conservation practices throughout time and space. Theoretical inspiration was taken from Actor-Network-Theory, critical discourse analysis, and speculative realism. Throughout the study the kalkmåleri is thus seen to have agency. The weave of enactments stemming from different professions and thought collectives that formed the paintings was made visible by following the actors. Some of these enactments were analyzed: i.e. the aesthetic shaping of the room, as religious and iconographic images, historical documents, art, style, technical, or hybrid objects. The latter refers to conservation that did not entirely rely on science, humanist scholarship, craftsmanship, or artistic creativity. Thus conservation is seen as a hybrid activity. Three periods of conservation principles were explored: stylistic restoration, original conservation, and precautionary conservation, which were related to what was perceived as the authentic original. Furthermore some Swedish "traditions" are discussed: that no institute for technical studies of art was formed, the use of "Curman’s principles", restricted retouching from the 1960s onward, and the use of gomma pane for cleaning. Finally appendices are included containing terminology, an index of conservators, and a DVD with mapping, chemical analysis, and photographs.Forskningsfinansiärer: FoU-medel: Riksantikvarieämbetet, Brandförsäkringsverkets stiftelse för bebyggelsehistorisk forskning, Elna Bengtsssons fond och Tyréns stiftelse.

Au carrefour entre de l'histoire religieuse, de l'histoire de l'art et de l'histoire politique, cette thèse porte sur la restauration monumentale en tant que concept politique, administratif, technique et esthétique, appliqué à tous les monuments anciens, dont les cathédrales gothiques : mais du concept à sa réalisation concrète s'interposent nombre d'actions, de professionnels (maîtres d'œuvres et maîtres d'ouvrages) et interviennent nombre d'obstacles et de facteurs qui en diversifient l'application et la mise en œuvre. Cette étude est une analyse comparée des conditions, des programmes, des modalités et des techniques déployés au XIXe siècle dans les chantiers de ces trois cathédralesThe scientific approach conducting the present piece of research combines both tradition and innovation; historical continuity on one hand – first of heritage and cultural history – initiated by the first studies on heritage policies and responsible administrations: the “Conseil supérieur des Beaux-arts” and Marie-Claude Genet-Delacroix's thesis, the early museums and the associated heritage effect studied by Dominique Poulot, then continuity of a general history of restoration and the Jean-Michel Léniaud's papers on the “service des Edifices diocésains” and cathedrals, and Françoise Bercé's book on the “Monuments historiques”; innovation on the other hand by focusing here on the question of restoration at work in a comparative study of three gothic cathedrals work sites – Our Lady of Rheims, Our Lady of Laon and Our Lady of Paris – from 1789 to 1914. Intersecting religious history, art history and political history, this research deals with monumental restoration as a political, administrative, technical and aesthetical concept and its application to every ancient monument including gothic cathedrals: but from a concept to its tangible realisation lie numerous actions and professionals (contractors and owners) as well as numerous hindrances and factors that diversify its application and implementation. This study is a comparative analysis of the conditions, programs, modes and technics employed during the 19th century on the three restoration sites

Os campos da Preservação de Monumentos Históricos e da Sustentabilidade na Construção Civil, apesar de distintos, apresentam certo grau de complementaridade. São áreas que dependem de processos eminentemente coletivos para seu avanço, e que se consagram como tradições culturais importantes no enfrentamento da deterioração dos espaços urbanos contemporâneos. A matéria é atual e urgente. Entretanto, o debate sobre o projeto arquitetônico como instrumento de valorização cultural e requalificação ainda é incipiente. Como analisar as intervenções atuais em edifícios degradados? Qual a relevância da Teoria da Restauração e da Sustentabilidade na construção no ideário cultural? Como reintegrar imóveis disfuncionais às dinâmicas urbanas? São questões complexas que merecem atenção. Por isso propomos a análise de três intervenções em edifícios ecléticos na cidade de São Paulo, e cujas estratégias de ocupação guardam intima relação com a adoção de usos e ocupações ordinárias. Debateremos, portanto, um projeto residencial - o condomínio Américo Simões, e dois acadêmicos - o Instituto Oscar Freire da Faculdade de Medicina da USP, e a FAU - Vila Penteado, da mesma universidade. Cada caso foi estudado através de sistema de valores, em que as dimensões individuais e coletivas do projeto são articuladas no intuito de produzir-se uma visão de conjunto das propostas. O primeiro valor é denominado cultural, ou seja, tem suas definições atribuídas às pesquisas históricas e estéticas e atribui aos bens imóveis valores de interesse comuns a toda a sociedade. O segundo, por outro lado, recebe o nome de valor autoral e volta-se ao reconhecimento das escolhas projetuais contemporâneas, do arquiteto responsável pela proposta, e que estão presentes no partido arquitetônico das restaurações. Do nosso ponto de vista, essa metodologia oferece possibilidades de aprendizado técnico e ético nesse debate particular, em que acreditamos ser desejável a aproximação entre as tendências de Preservação e Sustentabilidade nos projetos de arquitetura.The fields of the Historical Monument Preservation and the Sustainability in the Civil Construction, although distinct, present certain degree of integration. They are areas that share of eminently collective processes in the advance of the knowledge, and that if contemporaries consecrate as important cultural traditions for the confrontation of the deterioration of the urban spaces. The substance is current and urgent. However, the debate on the architectural project in this area is incipient. How to evaluate the current interventions in degraded buildings? Which the relevance of the Theory of the Restoration and Sustainability in the construction of the recent cultural scenario? How to reintegrate abandoned buildings to the urban dynamics? These are complex issues that deserve attention. Therefore we consider the analysis of three interventions in eclectic buildings in the city of São Paulo, and whose strategies of occupation keep it summons usual relation with the adoption of uses and occupations. We will debate, therefore, a residential project - the condominium Américo Simões, and two academicals buildings - the Institute Oscar Freire of the College of Medicine of the USP, and the FAU - Vila Penteado, of the same university. Each in case were analyzed through a system of values, where the individual and collective dimensions of projects are articulated in intention to produce a vision of set of the proposals. The first value is called cultural, that is, it has its definitions attributed to the historical and aesthetic research and attributes to the real properties common values of interest to all the society. As, on the other hand, it receives the name from authorial value and turns it the recognition of the contemporary decisions, of the responsible architect for the proposal, and that they are gifts in the party architectural of the restorations. Of our point of view this methodology offers to learning possibilities technician and ethical of this debate in particular, where we believe to be desirable the approach enters the trends of Preservation and Sustainability in the architectural projects.

Pas plus que le Grand Paris aujourd’hui en préparation, l’éphémère premier Grand Paris envisagé dans les années 1910-1920 ne parut placer la protection du patrimoine au rang de ses priorités. Pourtant, une tentative en ce sens eut bien lieu. L’ambition d’œuvrer selon des principes que l’on était encore loin d’appeler « urbanisme patrimonial » suscita la création, un demi-siècle avant le vote des lois Malraux, d’un outil d’urbanisme original, le « Casier archéologique et artistique de Paris et du département de la Seine ».L’étude de cet inventaire architectural et urbain, constitué entre 1916 et 1928, a porté sur un double enjeu. Le premier consistait à replacer le Casier archéologique, qui apparait aujourd’hui comme un objet isolé, dans la perspective du Grand Paris pour lequel il avait été conçu, dans son articulation avec les politiques urbaines et patrimoniales alors en cours d’élaboration comme dans la pluridisciplinarité de son élaboration. Le second visait à retracer l’évolution des processus d’élaboration du Casier archéologique, de la création d’un outil d’urbanisme patrimonial novateur à sa transformation en un inventaire d’un format plus classique, mais à l’échelle du Grand ParisNo more than the Grand Paris today in the making, the first and ephemeral Grand Paris which was envisioned during the years 1910-1920 did not seem to place protection of heritage among its priorities. However, an attempt in that direction was clearly made. The ambition to act according to ideas which at the time, were still far from being called Heritage Urbanism’s principles, brought upon the creation of an original Urbanism tool, half a century before the Malraux’s laws were voted : the “Casier archéologique et artistique of Paris and the Seine’s department.”This architectural and urban inventory, established between 1916 and 1928, was studied with a double focus. The first was to place the Casier archéologique – an object that now seems isolated – back into the Grand Paris’s perspective in which it had been designed for, recalling its articulation with policy-making underway at the time on urbanism and heritage, as well as the multidisciplinarity of its constitution. The second was to retrace the evolution of the Casier archéologique’s elaboration, from its creation as an innovative tool of Heritage Urbanism, to its transformation as an inventory with a more classic format, but on Grand Paris’s scale

The aims of this thesis are threefold. Firstly, it aims to contribute to an ongoing re-theorization of the idea of architectural heritage. Secondly, it aims to examine the social and cultural roles of architectural heritage, and the importance of both architectural form and function in the post disaster context of Banda Aceh. Thirdly, it aims to reconsider to how architectural reconstruction and conservation maybe conducted in an Islamic context and in the face of disaster. To do this I draw on debates from within the critical heritage studies movement that argues that heritage is a cultural performance linked to activities of remembering and identity formation. This definition requires us to move beyond the idea that heritage is merely material, and asks us to acknowledge the importance of understanding how material culture is used. However, in debates over the idea of heritage as performance, the importance of materiality, of form, can be obscured. Thus, I argue that the relationship between form and function should be central in understanding the significance and nature of architectural heritage. It is in the interrelationship of form and function, of material and its use, that architecture becomes a cultural tool in the facilitation of the activity of remembering and identity formation. The thesis examines these issues with particular reference to remembering and identity formation in terms of cultural resilience in the face of natural disaster, drawing on examples from Banda Aceh post the 2004 Tsunami. In exploring the relationship between form and function, the thesis uses an architectural anthropological method which documents both architectural spaces and the social activities in and around them. I argue that traditional architectural conservation, including adaptive reuse that stresses the importance of building form, misunderstands the nature of heritage values, particularly in post-disaster contexts. Instead, the thesis offers the idea of adaptive reform where by function is privileged to the extent that form may be altered, even completely changed, to accommodate the resurrection of traditional uses and cultural meanings. It is argued that this is particularly important in both post-disaster and Southeast Asian cultural contexts, especially in regard to Islamic culture where materiality is viewed as impermanent.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Reabilitação de Edifícios apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e TecnologiaIn the last decades, there has been a growing appreciation of intervention projects in pre-existing buildings, in part linked to a greater concern for the preservation of cultural heritage, but above all, due to its sustainable character, becoming a growing concern present in government policies and construction sector. Nowadays, it no longer makes sense to completely demolish the pre-existences to build the new from scratch. On the contrary, there is more and more a kind of reconciliation with the past, in which the material remnants of yore are no longer obstacles to creation and become the central object of the contemporary project, promoting different dialogues between the old and the new.The intervention in built pre-existence is a more challenging project exercise than the new construction because it involves a series of issues articulated with the intrinsic values related to the architectural composition and the materiality of the building, as well as the socio-cultural aspects and urban contexts of each case. However, it is necessary to consider a referential support knowledge for each case treatment, with adequate technical basis and critical judgment. This work aims to contribute with part of this knowledge in the field of Building Rehabilitation through the study of the interpretative categories of contemporary intervention in historical pre-existences, as proposed by three different authors related to the italian heritage conservation: Claudio Varagnoli, Giovanni Carbonara and Beatrice Vivio.Based on these concepts, six intervention cases among the cultural heritage of the municipality of Coimbra, Portugal have been studied: Centro de Artes Visuais; the Monastery of Santa-Clara-a-Velha and the National Museum Machado de Castro. The proposed analysis consists of a critical reading of the dialogues which the intervention principles and design solutions assume with their respective preexistences, aiming to understand the different kinds of linguistic, material, functional and temporal relations between the old and the new, in a perspective of recognition of its values and its transmission into the future.
Nas últimas décadas, observou-se uma crescente valorização dos projetos de intervenção em edifícios preexistentes, em parte ligada a uma maior preocupação com a preservação do patrimônio cultural, mas, sobretudo, devido a seu caráter sustentável, tornando-se uma preocupação cada vez mais presente nas políticas governamentais e do setor da construção. No mundo de hoje, já não faz mais sentido a demolição integral das preexistências para a construção do novo a partir de uma folha em branco. Ao contrário, observa-se, cada vez mais, uma espécie de reconciliação com o passado, em que os resquícios materiais de outros tempos deixam de ser obstáculos para a criação e passam a ser objeto central do projeto contemporâneo, promovendo diferentes diálogos entre o antigo e o novo. A intervenção na preexistência constitui um exercício de projeto mais desafiador do que a nova construção, pois envolve uma série de questões articuladas com os valores intrínsecos relativos à composição arquitetônica e à materialidade do edifício, bem como a aspectos socioculturais e contextos urbanos de cada caso. Contudo, é preciso considerar-se um conhecimento de suporte referencial para o tratamento destes casos, com base técnica e juízo crítico adequados. Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal a contribuição com parte deste conhecimento teórico de suporte no âmbito da Reabilitação de Edifícios, através do estudo das categorias interpretativas de intervenção contemporânea no edificado propostas por três diferentes autores ligados à preservação do patrimônio e ao Restauro Crítico italiano: Claudio Varagnoli, Giovanni Carbonara e Beatrice Vivio. Com base nas categorias propostas pelos referidos autores, foram estudados três casos de intervenção no patrimônio cultural edificado do município de Coimbra, em Portugal: o Centro de Artes Visuais, o Mosteiro de Santa-Clara-a-Velha e o Museu Nacional Machado de Castro. A análise proposta consiste numa leitura crítica sobre os diálogos que os princípios de intervenção e as soluções projetuais assumem com suas respectivas preexistências, procurando compreender os diferentes tipos de relação linguística, material, funcional e temporal entre o antigo e o novo, numa perspectiva de reconhecimento dos seus valores e de sua transmissão ao futuro.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis discusses the potential for preserving the cultural assets embodied in built heritage, which is damaged in disasters and further threatened during recovery processes. The general underlying assumption is that the use of reclaimed and recycled building materials is a way to retain heritage and cultural values in a sensitive post-disaster reconstruction.
It looks at the development of the reclamation practice in Germany, and through analysis of successes and barriers there, it makes parallel comparisons for opportunities and limitations in the Chilean post- February 27th, 2010 earthquake context.
This thesis goes on to propose a housing prototype design, which aims to address the undervaluation of traditional building materials and to recommend improvements to urban quality through the design of a house prototype intended to replace those lost in the earthquake. The design site is Chanco, a town that typifies regional heritage architecture of adobe, timber, ceramic tiles and continuous facades in the Maule region of Chile.

A investigação do trabalho centra-se na região do Carapinhal, Figueiró dos Vinhos, lugar onde se sente o despovoamento e o abandono por parte não só da população que vai desaparecendo como também da falta de incentivos para os mais jovens e os poucos habitantes da região de modo a desenvolver soluções para uma vida nos aglomerados rurais de forma a aumentar a demografia dessa região. O objetivo desta investigação, é uma casa de pedra típica da região que já se encontra desabitada há alguns anos, e pretende-se dar resposta mantendo o que resta, darlhe uma nova vida, uma nova função que responda às necessidades de uma família dos dias de hoje sem que se perca o que resta do objeto original. Sendo um problema da região, muitas vezes destruir para fazer novo, foi preocupação deste trabalho procurar respostas de forma a defender e proteger um objeto arquitetónico em vias de desaparecimento, característico da arquitetura vernacular.

The research of the work focuses on the Carapinhal region, Figueiró dos Vinhos, a place where the depopulation is felt and the abandonment by not only the population that is disappearing as well as the lack of incentives for the youngest and the few inhabitants of Region in order to develop solutions for a life in rural clusters in order to increase the demographics of this region. The aim of this research is a typical stone house of the region that has been uninhabited for some years, and it is intended to respond to the remaining, to give it a new life, a new function that responds to the needs of a family of today without miss what's left of the original object. Being a problem of the region, often destroy to make new, it was the concern of this work to seek answers in order to defend and protect an architectural object in the way of disappearance, characteristic of vernacular architecture.

Despite the importance of the preservation of the historic built environment for the benefit of present and future generations, there is a lack of knowledge of the effects of architectural rehabilitation decisions on the cultural significance of historic buildings. Architectural heritage conservation literature has focused almost exclusively on providing principles and guidelines, describing intervention methodologies, and discussing predicted impacts of design on material values. This thesis argues that a focus on the actual effects is needed if the sociocultural sustainability of historic buildings significance is to be achieved. Supported by an extensive literature review and informed by personal insights from the researcher’s everyday practice, an adapted model of the Theory of Change based on Weiss (1995) was designed, providing a tool to evaluate the effects of rehabilitation on cultural significance [ERECS].
Using a selection of six recently rehabilitated historic secondary schools in Portugal (liceus), this research investigated architectural decisions and their effects on the cultural values of this building typology for education, focusing on three objectives, corresponding to three stages of interventions: understanding the existing cultural significance, identifying the design strategies applied and assessing the short-term effects of design decisions on the cultural values.
Stressing the role of stakeholders in rehabilitation processes, data were collected from the buildings and architectural projects, the decision makers in the conservation process, and the school community.
Although confirming that the evaluation of the effects of architectural decisions on cultural values is a complex task, the findings demonstrate that the historic liceus have historical, architectural and sociocultural values, and whilst strategies did not value social values, material cultural values were generally considered and preserved, contributing to the enhancement of intangible values. The implications of this theory-based and evidence-based research highlight the importance of evaluating actual effects for cultural heritage theory,
architectural conservation practice and heritage management policy.This work was developed with a Doctoral Bursary given by the Foundation for Science and Technology (ref. SFRH/BD/60763/2009), with sponsorship supported by POPH/FSE.

Orientação: Alberto Flávio Monteiro LopesEste trabalho teve por objetivo pesquisar e compreender a importância da informação e do diagnóstico no projeto de reabilitação de edifícios de génese pombalina em Lisboa. Também pretende demonstrar a importância da preservação dos edifícios antigos e os seus valores históricos. O estudo inicia-se com os conceitos e as razões para reabilitar. O conceito de património e de conservação arquitectónica ganhou relevância sobretudo no século XIX, e desenvolveu-se ao longo do século XX. A reabilitação urbana tem como principal objectivo a melhoria da qualidade do território urbano, satisfazendo as necessidades básicas da população e também preservar e conservar valores históricos para as gerações futuras. O trabalho realizado desenvolveu-se com base em três exemplos de edifícios antigos de génese pombalina em Lisboa. O antigo Palácio Ficalho localizado na Rua dos Caetanos, nº18-20 e na Travessa dos Fiés de Deus nº102-108, no Bairro Alto; o edifício localizado na Praça D. João da Câmara, 1-6, Praça D. Pedro IV (Rossio), 62-68, e Rua 1º de Dezembro, 102-116, e o edifício localizado na Rua dos Douradores, 2-14, e Rua da Conceição, 28-34. Os três edifícios anteriormente referidos representam exemplos de património com valor histórico e também representa as diferentes fases do movimento pombalino. O estudo foi realizado com o recurso a material disponibilizado pelos projetistas que estão a desenvolver estudos para estes edifícios, nomeadamente levantamentos desenhados e relatórios diversos incidindo sobre aspetos históricos e da condição estrutural. O conhecimento dos locais foi completado com visitas aos edifícios. Foi possível verificar que edifícios cuja construção original, ou grande reformulação, como é o caso do antigo Palácio Ficalho, apresenta características comuns foram muito modificados ao longo do tempo de tal forma que a abordagem do projeto arquitetónico terá que ser necessariamente diferente. Este estudo veio revelar que, para além do aspeto exterior dos edifícios (neste caso relacionados com o período pombalino) que pode estar relativamente pouco alterado, há que estudar o interior destas construções para compreender quais os fragmentos ainda originais ou com valor que deverão ser preservados.
This work aimed to research and understand the importance of information and diagnosis in the rehabilitation project of Pombaline buildings in Lisbon. It also aims to demonstrate the importance of preserving old buildings and their historical values. The study begins with the concepts and reasons for rehabilitating old buildings. The concept of heritage and architectural conservation gained relevance especially in the nineteenth century, and developed throughout the twentieth century. Urban rehabilitation has as its main objective the improvement of the quality of the urban territory, satisfying the basic needs of the population and also preserving the historical values for future generations. The work carried out was based on three examples of old Pombaline style buildings in Lisbon. The former Ficalho Palace located at Rua dos Caetanos, nº18-20 and at Travessa dos Fiés de Deus nº102-108, in Bairro Alto; the building located at D. João da Câmara Square, 1-6, D. Pedro IV Square (Rossio), 62-68, and 1st December Street, 102-116, and the building located at Douradores Street, 2-14, and Conceição Street, 28-34. The three buildings mentioned above represent examples of heritage with historical value and also represent the different phases of the Pombaline movement. The study was carried out using material provided by architects who are developing studies for these buildings, namely designed surveys and various reports focusing in particular on historical aspects and the structural condition of the buildings. Knowledge of the sites was completed with visits to the buildings. It was possible to verify that the studied buildings were very modified over time and that the design methodology to be used in each case will necessarily have to be different. This study has revealed that, in addition to the exterior appearance of buildings, the interior of these buildings must be studied to understand which fragments are still original or valuable to be preserved.

Alexandra Gomes da Silva Oliveira AntunesA guerra e o conflito armado são a mais séria ameaça às estruturas sociais, económicas e culturais dos países que passaram por esse tipo de circunstância. Infelizmente, o que realmente fica visível sobre a destruição pós-guerras são os danos arquitetónicos e urbanos, particularmente em edifícios históricos que representam a identidade do lugar. Os edifícios históricos assumem diferenças particularizadas, existindo várias abordagens para lidar com cada um dos exemplares, atendendo ao tecido urbano envolvente, à importância do edifício no seu valor histórico e arquitetónico, assim como tendo em consideração os recursos disponíveis para a intervenção. A Síria é um dos países que sofreu com um conflito armado desde 2012. Além do sofrimento humano e de como a sociedade síria foi moldada, esse conflito armado afetou negativamente as infraestruturas de muitas cidades em todo o país. Homs, a terceira maior cidade da Síria, sofreu cerca de três anos de guerra, numa destruição em grande escala em quase todas as partes do território urbano consolidado. Esta pesquisa apresenta um estudo teórico de edifícios históricos no contexto da conservação do espaço urbano. Além disso, procura desenvolver a ideia de preservação do património cultural e como isso pode constituir uma ferramenta positiva, não apenas para recuperar o ambiente urbano e histórico, mas também desempenhando um papel importante na fase de recuperação pós-guerra, na reconstrução e eventual reconciliação. O estudo inclui a apresentação de alguns edifícios historicamente importantes na cidade antiga de Homs, que foram danificados devido ao conflito armado e recriam uma conexão visual entre eles, no sentido de recuperar as características urbanas e originais da cidade antiga. Além disso, tomando 'Khan Al-Jamal' como um exemplo de um edifício histórico destruído, que precisa de um plano de reconstrução e reabilitação de baixo custo, procura-se traçar diretrizes para os projetos pós-guerra. Por fim, esses planos representam impactos sociais, culturais e económicos profundos no ambiente urbano, que podem atender à necessidade de continuidade da melhoria de qualidade de vida, além da conservação histórica e da preservação da identidade da cidade.
Wars and armed conflicts represent the most serious threat to nations that have been through these kinds of circumstances because they negatively affect their social, political, economic and cultural cohesion. Unfortunately, what really stays to tell us about the destruction following the wars is the architectural and urban damages, particularly historic buildings that represent the identity of the place. Historic buildings have many differences, accordingly, there are various approaches to deal with each historic building considering the urban fabric in the surrounding environment, and these approaches depend on the importance of the building, its historical value and the available resources. Syria is one of the country that suffered from an armed conflict since 2012. In addition to the human suffering and how the Syrian society was shaped, this armed conflict affected negatively the infrastructure and many cities all over the country. Homs, the third biggest city in Syria, suffered about three years of war, and after the war, a large-scale of destruction over almost all parts of the old city was left behind. This research presents a theoretical study of historical buildings in the context of historic and urban conservation. Moreover, it seeks to enhance the idea of cultural heritage preservation and how this could be as a positive tool, not only to regain the historic built environment but also it can play an important role in the recovery phase following a period of wars, for social reconstruction and eventual reconciliation. This study includes presenting some historically important buildings in the old city of Homs, which have been damaged due to the armed conflict and recreate a visual connection between them to regain the city's old features. In addition, this study draw guidelines for post-war reconstruction plans for ‘Khan Al-Jamal’, an example of a destroyed historic building, which need reconstruction and rehabilitation plans with the best attempts to have a low-cost plan. Finally, those plans could have social, cultural and economic deep impacts on the urban environment, which can fulfil the need of continuity, modern-day demands, and better quality of life along with historic conservation and preserve the identity of the city.

Orientação: António José de Santa-RitaEsta dissertação tem como objetivo o desenvolvimento de um estudo de avaliação e diagnóstico de patologias, no processo de remodelação do edifício Palácio Mantero e a sua alteração de uso, considerando as atuais polivalências do seu atual uso. É sempre necessário neste tipo de intervenções, por serem edifícios de carisma histórico, recorrer às tecnologias atuais e à compreensão do desenho original bem como as técnicas de construção utilizadas, a fim de ser possível adequar as novas soluções a este tipo de reabilitação. Todas as características históricas e morfológicas da construção bem como da envolvente foram tidas em conta com o objetivo de definir as melhores soluções para uma intervenção assertiva, podendo ser utilizada neste caso de estudo como também noutros semelhantes. Foi elaborado um estudo acerca das Casas de Veraneio de Cascais, desde a sua origem ao programa, bem como a influência que estas tiveram na Vila de Cascais, para o seu desenvolvimento não só arquitetónico e urbanístico, como também a nível social. Foi importante perceber quais as necessidades turísticas atuais e as ofertas existentes para ter sido feita a escolha da alteração de uso do atual Hotel para Hostel. O estudo que se apresenta procura contribuir para a análise da qualidade arquitetónica nas intervenções de reabilitação e das suas implicações na vida dos ocupantes, neste caso dos veraneantes da Vila de Cascais.. A presente dissertação considerou todas as exigências das leis portuguesas aplicáveis nas áreas técnicas, os princípios de intervenção contemporâneos, bem como os princípios da salvaguarda da identidade.
The goal of this dissertation is the development of a study of pathological evaluation and diagnosis,whilst renovating the Mantero Palace and altering the usage purpose, taking into consideration the actual polyvalences that it is used for. When undergoing this type of intervention on buildings with such historical charm, it is always necessary to use updated technologies whilst taking into account the comprehension of the original drawing and the constructional techniques used, therefore making it possible to adapt the new solutions to this type of rehabilitation. All the historical and morphological character of the building as well as the surroundings were taken into account, the goal being to define the best solutions for an assertive intervention, making it possible to use with this particular case study and also on other similar cases. A study was elaborated on the Cascais Summer Houses, from the origin to the program, as well as the influence they had on the Villa of Cascais, for their development not only architectural and urban but also on a social level. It was very important to understand the actual tourism needs and the existing offers, as this influenced the decision to alter the actual use of the Hotel to a Hostel. The study being presented will contribute to the analysis of the architectural quality in the rehabilitation and the implication that this could have on the lives of the occupants, in this case the holidaymakers of the Villa of Cascais. The present dissertation took into account all the requirements of the Portuguese laws applicable within the technical areas, the principles of contemporary intervention, as well as the principles of saving the identity.

Orientação: António José de Santa-RitaEsta investigação tem como objetivo o estudo de recuperação do edifício do Diário de Notícias, na Avenida da Liberdade nº 266 em Lisboa, procurando conciliar a sua atual morfologia interna e as suas caraterísticas externas com o legado que o arquiteto autor do projeto nos deixou e que lhe conferiu o valor de um símbolo da cidade. Procuramos ainda conciliar a sua mudança de uso, que consta da nossa proposta, com as indicações concretas emanadas da Direção Geral do Património e da Câmara Municipal de Lisboa com o fim de salvaguardar o edifício, tanto quanto possível na sua versão original. A sua utilização como sede de um importante jornal o Diário de Notícias – para a sua redação e impressão, já não fará sentido na época atual em que o espaço então necessário aquando da sua construção, tem sido drasticamente reduzido devido ao aparecimento constante de novas tecnologias de informação e de composição gráfica. Incluímos também nesta proposta a eliminação das dissonâncias que existem como consequência do uso e também a referência às patologias existentes e o respetivo tratamento, procurando conciliar o espírito do edifício com a necessidade prática da sua eliminação. Este trabalho de investigação obrigou a consultas de arquivos e outras fontes, necessárias para a compreensão desta obra realizada e também para a compreensão do espírito da época em que foi projetado e construído.
This research has the aim the study for the refurbishment of the Diário de Notícias building, in the Avenida da Liberdade in Lisbon, a landmark of the town. I tis necessary to conciliate the new proposal for its use with the internal and external morphology and obey to the instructions from the Portuguese Patrimony Administration and Lisbon Municipality, regarding the artistical and patrimony building safeguard. The space for the newspaper work and printing is not necessary anymore, so the space must be reduced as a consequence of the informative Technologies and press composition. The removal of dissonances as consequence of the continuous use are included in our study, as well as the pathologies. This research lead us to archives and another informative files, necessary to the understanding of this landmark and the forties in Portuguese architecture

Full textAbstract:
Esta dissertação tem como objetivo contribuir para a investigação sobre a salvaguarda e a preservação sustentável de Palácios Históricos e para debate em torno das estratégias de reutilização do Património Palaciano lisboeta, com base na sua adaptação a um uso compatível, que respeite a autenticidade e a materialidade dos edifícios. Estuda-se o caso do Palácio da Quinta das Águias, conjugando uma abordagem teórica – assente na leitura de obras e artigos sobre os conceitos, temas patrimoniais –, com uma abordagem empírica – assente na realização de visitas ao local. Pretende-se investigar as questões patrimoniais do abandono e da reabilitação/restauro/reutilização do Património Palaciano; analisar os conceitos de conservação participativa e de preservação sustentável, que pressupõe a noção de Património como um recurso cultural não renovável e investigar usos compatíveis para este Palácio. Ao investigar as questões do abandono e da reutilização do Património Palaciano, verificou-se que a perda de funcionalidade é a principal razão da negligência a que muitos são sujeitos. Por outro lado, quando reutilizados, são geralmente afetos a um uso hoteleiro, com base na técnica do “fachadismo”. Tornou-se, assim, clara a necessidade de contribuir para o desenvolvimento de estratégias que permitam integrar o Património Palaciano no tempo presente e em direta relação com a comunidade nativa da região. Daí a importância de analisar o conceito de conservação participativa, uma vez que é indispensável que os cidadãos desempenhem um papel na salvaguarda do seu Património. De igual importância é investigar usos compatíveis, de preferência de cariz cultural, a conferir a Palácios Históricos. Partindo da questão de investigação sobre quais os usos a conferir ao Palácio da Quinta das Águias que respeitem o princípio do uso compatível e a tornem acessível a toda a população?, foi possível exemplificar um projeto de reutilização que alie a preservação sustentável à conservação participativa, elementos indispensáveis para o alcance do desenvolvimento sustentável das cidades. Paralelamente, possibilitou-nos alertar para a importância da salvaguarda desta propriedade, com base na análise do seu valor patrimonial e a sua classificação como imóvel de Interesse Público, sendo indispensável elaborar uma investigação detalhada sobre o valor cultural do edifício; o impacto e a utilidade social da sua reutilização; a sua capacidade de auto-suficiência e de manutenção no futuro. Torna-se, também, imprescindível criar estratégias não só de alerta da atenção pública e de divulgação do estado de abandono de vários Palácios Históricos como também criar planos de Conservação Participativa, uma vez que são os cidadãos que constróiem e habitam a cidade.The purpose of this dissertation is both to contribute to the research concerning the protection and the sustainable preservation of historic palaces, and the discussion about the strategies for reuse of the palatial heritage in Lisbon, on the basis of their adjustment to a compatible use, with a view to secure the authenticity and the materiality of the buildings. Our study concerns the case of the Palácio da Quinta das Águias, for which we combine a theoretical approach – through the reading of works and papers on the concepts and the heritage subjects – with an empirical approach – carrying out on-site visits. We intend to study the heritage issues of the Abandonment and the Rehabilitation/Restoration/Reuse of the Palatial Heritage; to review the concepts of Participatory Conservation and Sustainable Preservation, which imply the notion of the Heritage as a cultural resource non-renewable, as well as to research compatible uses to this specific Palace. The research on the issues of the abandonment and the reuse of the Palatial Heritage has showed that the loss of funcionality is the main reason why the great majority of them are neglected. On the other hand, when they are reused, they are typically restored in order to become hotels, based on the technique of the “fachadism”. It has become clear, therefore, the need for the development of strategies which allowed the integration of the Palatial Heritage in the present time, in a direct relationship with the local community. This is the reason why it is so important to analyse the concept of Participatory Conservation, for it is of the utmost importance that each citizen plays an active role in the protection of their own Heritage. It is equally important to research compatible uses, preferably of a cultural nature, to be assigned to Historic Palaces. From the research issue concerning what uses to assign to the Palácio da Quinta das Águias that comply with the principle of the compatible use, making it available to all the people, it has been possible to illustrate a reuse project that combines the sustainable preservation with the participatory conservation, which are essencial points to achieve a sustainable urban development. In addition, it enable us to highlight the significance of the protection of this specific building, based on the analysis of its Heritage Value and its classification as a Property of Public Interest, making it essencial an accurate research on the cultural value of the building; the impact and social usefullness of its reuse; and its ability for self-sufficiency and maintenance in the future. It is also crucial to develop strategies in order to wake up the public awareness and to disclose the abandonment of several Historic Palaces in Portugal, as well as establishing Participatory Conservation plans, as the citizens are those who built and inhabit the city

Full textAbstract:
My goal in this thesis is to frame, through design, an existing environment in a manner that fosters the witness and embrace of the reality and beauty of decay—which acts as a marker of the passage of time. My intent is to engage in a careful renewal of a neglected, and largely forgotten, urban landscape, which does not ignore its temporal context. My hope is to explore the full potential of the life cycle of buildings and discover the lesson of mortality in modern American ruins.Things fall apart. This is a simple truth about the physical world that humanity inhabits, which surrounds, invades and defines the human condition. Because [or in spite] of this we live in a culture that values progress, newness, and speed, that proselytizes through marketing the belief that comfort can be found in surrounding oneself with new things, pushing reminders of death away. The current world of architecture and design nurtures this mentality, selling projects through the production of sleek renderings of pristine and clean objects, a state that will only last for a short time. I argue that, in spite of this mind-set, the realization of entropic inevitability is necessary to provide a healthy temporal context through which to view daily life. Its acceptance is crucial to an appropriate perspective on life and the human condition, allowing positive forward movement in the midst of the change and deterioration that define life. I hope to show how architecture can foster this acceptance through adaptive re-use which values and interacts with the marks of time and traces of past use. The question that I am positing ultimately is this: How can new architecture breathe life into neglected spaces while also preserving the found beauty of the state of its breakdown, what one might call its ‘character’? Can architecture take cues from and be molded and enlivened by the people, events and nature that it interacts with and is transformed by? Can architecture enact a resurrection that deftly navigates between outright neglect and sterile renovation? And what is the appropriate way to do this?
