Abstract

To think authenticity, the cultural
identity and social economic and environmental sustainability is to reflect on
the values ​​and actions that must be developed to strengthen the identity of
the regions. They are inseparable components with an impact on the organization
of the territory and architecture that affect everyday life and the means and
modes of production. To avoid the destruction of secular structures of
territorial organization, it is necessary to have a critical awareness of the
heritage, to question the cultural values ​​and the symbolic contents that
define the ways of being of the populations. Action strategies have been
creating tourism networks, rebuilding constructions. We only see effects of a
formal contaminated recovery process. Intervention methodologies have to create
dynamics that make regions attractive to live, providing quality of life and
meaning to the collective future. As case study on rehabilitation in vernacular
architecture we present Outeiro da Vinha,
Portugal.
