Intervenções contemporâneas em património construído: do conceito ao pormenor

Abstract

Intervention in the built is a current topic and a theme of great relevance not only in the debate but also in contemporary architectural practice. However, in spite of being a recurrent topic of discussion its presentation in architectural publications is often of general nature, leaving behind a deeper analysis of the constructive order and detail options, in their relation with conceptual options. Using theoretical tools and case studies, this dissertation aims to examine issues related to interventions in existing buildings in a contemporary context, introducing a different perspective of analysis and interpretation, in the sense of understanding the work in a wider scope; this is, from the concept to the detail. For a better framework of the analysed works, it was essential to discuss themes related to the contemporary thought about heritage, theories of intervention, the problem of the relationship new-old, and also tectonic, construction and detail aspects ( like material, joint and detail).
