Authors: Branco, Gertrudes; Rocha, Leonor; Covaneiro, Jaqueline Editors: Klaus Stein, Anastasia Bauch; Carmen M. Enss Abstract: “Better information leads to better decisions". This is a true premise when applied to the use of geographic information systems in spatial and urban planning, due to their ability to generate, analyse and map geo-referenced data, which is essential to support decision-making processes. Our specific objective is to create dynamic heritage inventories by combining the tools of Geographical Information Systems with an archaeological recording protocol, which compiles and updates the information known and continuously produced in a given territory, and at the same time analyses and transforms it into a robust, constantly updated, sufficiently autonomous and transversal information base that can be useful to the actors who administratively manage the territory, to citizens and to archaeologists looking for a basis for building historical and cultural knowledge. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10174/41681 Title: Landscape Literacy in Architectural Training: Unveiling the Terrain Authors: Freire, Maria; Carapinha, Aurora Editors: Cirklová, Jitka Abstract: The role of landscape in architecture is extremely significant, it influences the organization of architectural space, the urban planning, the valorization of nature and the cultural identity. So, landscape is a very important factor for the quality of life of all living beings. Teaching architecture students about landscape develops their awareness of the context of the sites and of places, as well as built spaces. Contemporary challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss and urban sprawl, socio-cultural and economic conflicts require interdisciplinary approaches. Reading and understanding the landscape becomes crucial to designing sustainable spaces and approaching design to a holistic perspective, considering not only aesthetic and functional aspects, but also ecological and social factors. The landscape thematic in architecture courses involves providing tools and methodologies to analyze, interpret and design, as well as stimulating sensitivity to the landscape system and dynamics. Considering the case-study architecture training at University of Évora (Portugal), we will reflect on: i) Theoretical bases: the concept of landscape, history and contemporary issues provide students with a conceptual framework. ii) Case-studies: real-world examples of landscape integration in architecture help students understand best practices and innovative approaches. iii) Fieldwork and site analysis: hands-on experience through site visits and landscape analysis exercises increases students’ awareness of spatial and temporal dynamics in ecological, aesthetic, sociocultural, and economic domains. It allows a better understanding of topography, vegetation, water systems and human interactions. iv) Design studio exercises: practical applications challenge students to integrate landscape considerations into their architectural designs. Key findings include the need for increased awareness, interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation in design thinking. 2026-03-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10174/41621 Title: Tales in a sHoe box - playing WiTH Type Authors: Gago, José Editors: Silva, José; Marques, Tiago Abstract: A design project focusing on tunnel book compositions was conducted as part of the Technologies of Vector Drawing course at the University of Évora during the 2023/24 academic year. This study follows a descriptive case methodology, using Hans Christian Andersen’s narratives as its foundation. Students selected one of Andersen’s tales and created a scenic representation in the form of a tunnel book, housed in a 15x30x15 cm card box.These visual compositions incorporated typographic fonts of varying sizes to generate contrast. The students’ individual works were later combined to form a “wall of stories.” Upon project completion, the authors conducted a thematic analysis of the students’ project descriptions to evaluate their interpretation of the stories and determine if the romantic relationship with nature was evident in their work. 2025-11-12T00:00:00Z
