Methodology for minimum intervention in sustainable Earthen architecture
The old buildings that are vacant, many of them with cultural, social and historical values, are part of the identity of a region and are an opportunity to revitalize it, through its reuse. It is urgent to use environmental and cultural sustainability criteria in this process, in counter-cycle with the increase in construction waste production, that between 2015-2018 reached values of 48% (dangerous) and 38.7% (non-hazardous), resulting from the current practice of demolitions.
Earthen architecture is one of these heritage legacies at risk, disseminated in the Central region of Portugal, and the present study inventoried representative buildings – the Patio Houses Gandaresas (1164 buildings) and the Brazilian type Houses (462 buildings) – in 10 municipalities . Based on this survey, the most significant typologies and their constructive system characterization were studied, serving as a basis for the structuring of a methodology for minimal conservation intervention, for which the current anomalies were previously identified: deformation of facades, lack of cohesion of the structural system (walls/floors/roofing), incorrect functioning of the rainwater drainage system and ventilation at the base of the walls, the action of salts on the coatings, among others.
The exhaustive knowledge of materials, construction systems, risks of degradation due to use or environmental conditions, as well as interventions from the past to be reversed, support the options of real case studies of minimal intervention, of which two examples are presented: the Casa dos Cestinhos in Ílhavo and Casa Gandaresa do Seixo in Mira.

The rehabilitation of Bolhão Market, Porto. Project, process and the future of historical central markets
The difficult condition of most central fresh markets in consolidated or historical cities can be handled with policies based on architectural research and knowledge.
With knowledge we can fight the “temptation of efficiency” and the current logic of superimposing ideas or ideologies to reality – in the last 30 years Bolhão market has accumulated four political visions and architectural solutions, very different from each other.
But not only the historical and architectural knowledge – also the human and productive knowledge (of the sellers and their context, the origins of their production and contemporary forms of distribution and commerce). No form of data (material and immaterial) can be ignored from this “reality reading” if we aspire to good and environmentally conscious design practices – we have called it critical and adaptive reintegration of existing material.
In the rehabilitation of the Bolhão market, the project is a tool for discernment, a decision process on the physical values and relationship values – its transformation and continuity.
There is no film without images, there is no radio without sound, there is no future without project.

Gran Canaria: patrimonio diverso
Como las restantes islas de Canarias, Gran Canaria ofrece un patrimonio diverso que se corresponde con su posición geográfica tricontinental. El poblamiento inicial se produjo con gente procedente del norte de África, lo que se evidencia en el patrimonio arqueológico, con manifestaciones tan destacadas y variadas como Risco Caído y las montañas sagradas de la cumbre de la isla (Patrimonio Mundial, 2019), La Guancha (Bien de Interés Cultural [BIC], 1949) y la Cueva Pintada (BIC 1972) en Gáldar o Cuatro Puertas en Telde (BIC 1972), contando con el Museo Canario como museo arqueológico insular concertado, en las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Con la conquista (1478-1483) se produce la hispanización y en la construcción histórica del territorio continuaron ciudades antiguas y se crean de nueva fundación, que hoy son conjuntos históricos de distintas características (Las Palmas, Telde, Gáldar, Arucas, Teror, Guía, Barranco Hondo y Santa Brígida). Los lenguajes artísticos aparecen en la arquitectura desde los elementos del gótico y las carpinterías de tradición mudéjar, con la continuidad en la arquitectura popular de la casacueva prehispánica con otras manifestaciones tradicionales. Los bienes muebles cuentan con el aporte de Flandes, distintas regiones españolas y otras zonas europeas, mientras desde América llegaron pinturas, esculturas y piezas artísticas, continente que además fue la puerta de Oriente para obras procedentes de Filipinas y Japón. En paralelo los propios artistas canarios destacan en el panorama de las distintas artes del archipiélago, destacando el pintor Juan de Miranda y Luján Pérez entre los nacidos en el siglo XVIII. Gran Canaria cuenta con más de un centenar de bienes de interés cultural, en las categorías de monumentos, zonas arqueológicas, conjuntos históricos, sitios etnológicos, sitios históricos, bienes muebles y bienes inmateriales, a los que se sumarán otros de paisaje cultural y sitio industrial.
