Os metais do recinto pré-histórico de Castelo Velho de Freixo de Numão no quadro da primeira metalurgia do Noroeste da Península Ibérica

2 July 2019

This article presents preliminary results from the typological and analytical study of copper-based metal objects found at the Castelo Velho site in Freixo de Numão, dating back to the 3rd millennium BC. The metal artefacts are associated with ceremonial activities and contribute to the circulation of material goods, people, and ideas within the communities of that era. Spatial distribution analysis shows a high occurrence of metal elements in association with circular structures in the eastern part of the upper enclosure, indicating specific patterns of deposition and concentration. The study highlights

Morphological innovation of the loggia for urban resilience to climate change

1 June 2019

Temporary occurrences of extreme intensities of ultra-violet radiation and increasing periods of heat waves, due to climate change, present public health risks. Remaining in the shadow during midday hours in such conditions is a public health promotion strategy. Following this premise, this research explores morphological innovation of the urban loggia, i.e., public shaded walkways and sitting areas integrated in the ground level of buildings. These spaces have the potential to generate microclimates through passive cooling, reducing energy consumption of indoor temperature regulation in building entrances and contributing to the sustainability

Gendered Landscapes: Women, Materiality, and Historical Memory in Deerfield, Massachusetts

29 May 2019

Many historical elements visible on landscapes today, such as structures, vegetation, waterways, and landforms, sometimes give the impression of having survived substantially unchanged since their beginnings centuries ago. Moreover, this aura of “timelessness” is often deliberately encouraged by various means, for multiple and complex reasons. The movement for historic preservation (of aged buildings and, more recently, their surroundings), that grew in the United States from around the mid-19th century, has been a participant. Manifestations of this important historical trend are explored here through the lens of gender by looking at
