Abstract
Made In.
Over the centuries caravels and ships have been passed by Angra do Heroísmo’s port contributing for the progress and improvement of the city and its people. Today, the city maintains its original aspects, offering spaces and buildings that conserve its history and spirit. This exemplar conservation led UNESCO to consider it as Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Re-use is the theme of this project, having the local population as a fundamental key in the all process of construction and reconstruction. The community participation was extremely important in 1980, due to their active colaboration in the reconstruction of the city’s heritage. Based on the identification of the city needs, main problems and virtues, the strategy developed is based on the local knowledge of the city materials and on the (re)use that they may have.
With this intervention, it will always be a reading of the Portuguese’s past and future, never forgetting the essential values that have founded the city of Angra do Heroísmo.
