Património e paisagem: gestão, análise, projeto

Abstract

Heritage and landscape are inseparable and central themes in contemporary society as a support for identity and a factor in sustainable socio-cultural and territorial development. This training unit is therefore intended to enrich and diversify the University of Porto (UP) training framework, boosting areas of interdisciplinary work between Architecture, History of Art, Landscape Architecture and Civil Engineering, which are fundamental to understanding the concept of heritage in its contemporary and broader sense - built and natural, material and immaterial. The aim is also to strengthen cooperation networks between different organic units at UP, using new tools, technologies and teaching, geared towards advanced training, but also fostering interactions with the civil community, institutions and cultural agents. The training unit proposes a critical approach to the concepts of heritage and cultural landscape, including their historical and theoretical foundations, methodological and design tools, as well as safeguarding and management instruments. In this way, the aim is to deepen knowledge of the history and theories of heritage intervention in a broad sense, with the aim of instructing and grounding contemporary practice of intervention in the built and the landscape, integrating an understanding of its multiple stratigraphies. Creditable as a University of Porto option curricular unit (MIARQ or 2nd cycle), singular curricular unit (diploma supplement) or continuous training unit / free course (3 ECTS).
