Projetos

Factores decisivos para o sucesso da criação do CIAUD-UPT foram a atividade de investigação anteriormente desenvolvida no âmbito do CI-ESG e agora no CIAUD-UPT, que regularmente ganha financiamentos competitivos de programas de investigação Nacionais e Europeus, tais como FCT, Cultura 2000, Europa Criativa, InterReg, POCTEP, etc. A grande variedade de projectos foi possível devido ao elevado número de candidaturas anuais apresentadas, respondendo à crescente competitividade do grupo.

Projetos de Investigação

Como líder de projeto, a equipa de investigação desenvolveu os seguintes projectos científicos:

This research and the comparison with other contemporary architecture will result in a better understanding of the unique value of Siza’s architecture, in a national and international context. This will be key to establishing the justification of the Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) of his work, its national protection, and an effective management system to support the instruction of Siza’s works nomination for the World Heritage List. The proposed research team has multidisciplinary competences in the areas of Architecture, History, World Heritage, Technology, Engineering, and IT.
