In this session, we will explore two projects that demonstrate the importance of rehabilitation and innovation in distinct contexts. The first project, carried out on mountain pastures in Switzerland, presents a unique approach to preserving cultural heritage and landscapes. By rehabilitating abandoned farm ruins, the project seeks to protect the landscape and restore the local identity. With a collaborative and voluntary approach, the project involved the local community and resulted in a creative and effective solution for heritage preservation. Sceru e Giumello is an example of how architecture can be used to preserve the memory and identity of a place. Rehabilitating ruins not only protects the landscape but also provides an opportunity to reflect on the history and culture of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second project, developed in Portugal, highlights a participatory basic housing operation that combines energy efficiency and community involvement. The project was designed with and for the community living in deficient conditions and resulted in the construction of 79 highly energy-efficient homes. At a cost of approximately 50,000 euros per home, the project offers a sustainable and innovative solution for basic social housing. The project is an example of how partnerships between the public and private sectors can result in effective solutions to complex problems. Community participation and prioritization of energy efficiency are fundamental to the project's sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
