Emphasis: Architecture Technology and Urbanism

In the contemporary architectural and urban debate, the main socio-spatial challenges pertain to the quality and performance of the production of environments built in different scales, from buildings to city. Within this context, in partnership with institutes and companies, the acting lines ‘cities and buildings’ potentiate qualified applied research productions focused on innovation, technology and sustainability.

Lines of action

Urban management and new technology processes for sustainable environment management are addressed. Focusing on the relationships between architectural design and the sociospacial impacts on the city, this line of work covers the planning and management of sustainable cities from a comprehensive perspective, involving economic, social, cultural and environmental sustainability.

This line of work explores sustainable architectural design. It focuses on the relationships between new technologies and design processes and construction as well as on issues such as design rationalization, materials technology, energy efficiency and comfort in buildings, including ventilation, natural lighting and facade protection systems.
