Title: | Housing Buildings’ Characterization at Corvo Village (Azores) Historical Center: Towards a Sustainable Rehabilitation Process | Authors: | Salvador, Ana Mouraz, Catarina P. Catarino, Lídia G. Mestre, Victor Silva, José |
Keywords: | architectonic characterization; constructive characterization; heritage; rehabilitation processes; sustainable construction; resilient communities; architectonic identity | Issue Date: | 2021 | Publisher: | MDPI | Project: | UIDB/00073/2020 | Serial title, monograph or event: | Sustainability (Switzerland) | Volume: | 13 | Issue: | 4 | Abstract: | Corvo is the smallest island of the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores and an unexplored territory, with one single village. Scarce studies have been conducted regarding its built heritage, and deep knowledge of the constructions is necessary for conservation actions to be carried out. This article presents the architectonic and constructive characterization of housing building features that compose Corvo village’s historical center, focusing on its characteristics, dissonances, and conservation state. A case study regarding one housing building is presented. This research intends to contribute to a deeper knowledge of these buildings’ identity, constituting the first step towards future rehabilitation processes that can improve the inhabitants’ quality of life and simultaneously value the territory’s singularity. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/105495 | ISSN: | 2071-1050 | DOI: | 10.3390/su13042352 | Rights: | openAccess |
