Abstract
This paper describes the method followed in the intervention project
following the analysis of façade attributes and value in the neighborhood of Sao
Francisco in Faro, Portugal. It is composed of three main parts: Research results,
Intervention bases and architectonic project. Following the work described on
the research (Herck, van et al. 2022), the paper aims to describe the topic of Value
based redesign for heritage in architecture. As described in the previous paper,
the framework for the values is set by Tarrafa and Pereira Roders (2012). These
values attached to façade attributes set the tone for the intervention along with
principles coming from the masterplan for Barrio Sao Francisco and a systematic
intervention. Following the value analysis, the current state of the building
and the damage it currently presents was mapped and compared with the value
plans. The results of the overlaying of information pointed out the challenges,
opportunities, and dilemmas in the ensemble. The architectonic proposal feeds
from the façade analysis and portrays a system of principles that convey with
local regulations, materials and values. The method can be further developed
and refined with the possibility of having a broader input from research.
