The HERITAGE cycle of Seminars and Workshops, co-organized by the IC Instituto da Construção FEUP and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, will have Vila de Monforte (in Alto Alentejo) as an anchoring point and study for this academic year. support from the Municipality of Monforte.
In this village of Monforte, a cycle of Online Seminars will be developed with world experts whose knowledge will be shared in the form of modules of thematic seminars leading to the workshop to be held at the end of June 2022, during a week in the village with teachers and tutors with a strong practical component. It is intended to provide students [mainly, but not exclusively, from the 2nd cycle (4 and 5 years) of Architecture and Civil Engineering courses] the opportunity to develop, as part of multidisciplinary teams, specific proposals for heritage rehabilitation in the urban context of the center history, buildings and urban space.
The workshop will aim to provide participants with the opportunity to put into practice research methodologies and heritage intervention, in a real context, with the support of teachers and tutors, also contributing to the requalification of the village and the enhancement of the region.
The second Seminar of a total of 4 will take place Online on December 13th between 11:50am and 2:30pm. All Seminars will be free, but prior registration is essential, the Workshop will be mostly sponsored, with a fee for each selected student after analysis of their CV and Portfolio.

Aga Khan Historic Cities Programme: a template for integrated urban rehabilitation
This presentation will provide an overview of the philosophy, principles and methods that the Aga Khan Historic Cities Programme (AKHCP) applies to the revitalization of historic urban centres in Afghanistan, Egypt, India, Malaysia, Mali, Pakistan and Tajikistan. It will explore how these heritage conservation projects involve local community benefit and participation in ways that are widely advocated but seldom accomplished. It will share selected case studies of how AKHCP puts in place multi-input strategies that boost employment, raise incomes, improve education, health and sanitation facilities, empower women and enhance urban public spaces. This integrated urban rehabilitation methodology provides lessons for historic preservation at various levels of urban scale and complexity and is therefore a basic point of reference for FEUP’s Monforte project.
Ana Junceiro
Mestre em Arqueologia e Ambiente, pela Universidade de Évora, Ana Junceiro, teve como tema de dissertação “Estudo das cenas da vida intelectual figuradas nos mosaicos da Lusitânia”, consubstanciando desta forma a formação académica recebida ao longo do seu percurso, o qual é deliberadamente demarcado no estudo e interesse pela época romana. Assim o comprova o seu currículo.
Acredita que se não formos bons gestores (daquilo que fazemos com o tempo, sobretudo), tudo se tornará mais difícil, e é valorizando esta ideia que a fundamenta ao ser co- responsável pela organização de eventos que considera uma mais-valia para a investigação em Arqueologia, quer a nível internacional, como foi o caso do I Congresso sobre Arqueologia de Transição, Universidade de Évora, Maio de 2012) ou a nível local (I Workshop sobre Revestimentos e Pigmentos – a sua projeção no património histórico, Monforte, Março de 2014).
É desde 2018 Técnica Superior de Arqueologia na Câmara Municipal de Monforte.
De pedra em pedra: a construção da Vila de Monforte
A presente comunicação pretende dar a conhecer, a evolução histórica e intervenções arqueológicas realizadas, ao nível construtivo da Vila de Monforte. Orientada numa perspetiva histórica, começando na reconquista cristã iremos demostrar as origens da vila com a atribuição de Cartas de Foral, como surgiu o núcleo primitivo de forte ligação ao poder religioso, a construção das muralhas e terreiro do Castelo (poder militar). Expansão da urbe para extramuros na Idade Moderna. Apresentar no fundo as diferentes alterações do traçado morfológico da vila até à atualidade.

Urban form and heritage
The presentation focuses on the role of urban form in framing the built heritage for cities and their experiences, highlighting the intrinsic relationship that exists between the history that urban form tells and the different times of the built environment.
Antonella Guida
Architect and Full Professor of Technical Architecture SSD / ICAR10, University of Basilicata (USB), Department of European and Mediterranean Cultures (DiCEM) of Matera, where he is Vicar Director and Coordinator of the Course of Studies in Architecture.
She is a member of the Superior Council of Public Works for the three-year period 2020-2023.
Scientific coordinator of several international and national conferences.

Scientific coordinator of several research groups for projects of national and international significance and referent of many framework agreements for research and international mobility with European and world countries.
The most investigated research area is the recovery of the existing building, cultural and industrial heritage in order to define the intelligent management of Cultural Heritage, starting from an integrated digital knowledge through the use and implementation of ICT and for this reason is a consultant for administrations and public institutions.
The scientific production consists of over 180 works published in various national and international journals, books and conference proceedings.
The recovery of the existing building heritage, to understand the environment and technical characteristics of particular residential contexts
The presentation explore the possibility to define how the “culture of building” is rooted in “knowledge”; this kind of knowledge seeks to define and reveal all that is hidden and concealed behind surfaces and spaces that perpetuate their generation of emotional tensions, especially in the material-technological field, because they have been built perfectly (in Italian “a regola d’arte”).
Researching, investigating and discovering what the orders and rules of good building practice are, is a subject that is rooted in the debate of the scientific community.
This aim proves to be more topical than ever if we consider the vastness and peculiarity of construction techniques, native materials, specificity of the workers, unique urban contexts never standardized as the historic centers such as the city of Matera.
Vito Domenico Porcari
Research Fellow of Technical Architecture at the University of Basilicata – Department of European Cultures and the Mediterranean (DiCEM) whit a research entitled “Technical and
technological innovation to define a material-constructive catalogue for a contemporary approach to intervention on the Cultural Heritage of the city of Matera”.
PhD in Cities and Landscapes at University of Basilicata – Department of European Cultures and the Mediterranean (DiCEM) with a thesis entitled “HeMaIn. A decision support System for the
Cultural Heritage maintenance process”, obtaining a rating of Excellent.
His personal research is aimed at the innovations of the/in architectural recovery, in particular on Smart Strategies for the conservation and monitoring of Cultural Heritage for the innovation of planning and planned maintenance processes.
These themes are supported by his scientific production, with works published in conference proceedings, national and international journals and curator of a monograph, and carried on in his professional activity, dealing mainly with the design, recovery, enhancement and protection of complex activities within the city of Sassi.
Decision support system to enhancement and restoration of cultural heritage in Matera. Smart cities and communities and social innovation project
The objective of the presentation is to investigate and define how today scientific research aims to develop Smart solutions to define a new vision of Heritage valorization. Research experiences are now addressing the possibility of creating real Decision Support Tools (DSS), through which it is possible to increase the effectiveness of the analysis, providing support to all those who must make strategic decisions in the face of problems that cannot be solved with operational research. The main function of a DSS is to extract, in a short time and in a versatile way, useful information for decision-making processes from a large amount of data.
