Future sea-level rises on the urban waterfront of coastal and riverbanks cities will not be uniform. The impact floods is exacerbated by population density in nearshore areas, combined with land conversion urbanization, vulnerability towns public spaces particular significantly increased. empirical analysis a selected number projects, namely winners Mies Van Der Rohe Prize, highlighted different morphological characteristics spaces, relation to approximation water body: near shoreline,...

Streets have different forms that are not defined only by their partitions, furniture, and width, but also edges as vital features of spatiality. The relationship between a street building impacts the interface configurations, resulting in various topological characteristics. Thus, is physical entity produced interrelationship urban morphological elements (street building), way it formed used affects livability street. methods current study contribute to an empirical morphological–visual...

Among the European coastal territories most vulnerable to effects of mean sea level rise, such as flooding and erosion phenomena, are 943 km Portuguese coastline where approximately 70 per cent population lives (Bigotte et al, 2014), a percentage that rises around 80 in summer months, due tourism (Andrade 2002), especially Algarve region (southern Portugal). The case study this research is urban public space city Quarteira, which particularly vulnerable. This between land has been recently...

If delta and estuary areas are observed under the perspective of a double system dynamic infrastructures, object parallel “water/urbanisation” processes, interface spaces become key nodes. In this perspective, port waterfront can be described as mediation. The article argues that in case Lisbon Tagus, possibly several other cities, these edge “fluid territories.” pre-eminent characteristic territories” is they not permanent, neither space nor time. These present accelerated transformations,...

The impact of sea-level rise on coastal towns is expected to be a major challenge, with millions people exposed. climate-induced risk assessment areas subject flooding plays an essential role in planning effective measures for adaptation plans. However, European legislation, as well the regional plans adopted by member states, there no clear reference urban settlement, this concept variable and difficult categorise from policy perspective. This lack knowledge makes it complicated implement...

Revealing the place addresses referential role of sacred architecture elements that dot Portuguese Atlantic coastline in contemporary architectural pedagogy and practice architecture. The long coastline, case study research, is dotted with elements—sanctuaries, churches, chapels crosses—oriented according to both compositional canonical cosmological principles. character space articulation between land sea made evident by tension landscape. This paper this relation, resorting decomposition...

The article explores the role of public ground composition design as a defence element for coastal agglomerations vulnerable to mean sea level rise in extreme weather events scenarios. It addresses one pilot case studies [ENTRA]MAR Urban form intertwined with research project, Quarteira, city located Algarve region southern Portugal, which is flooding and erosion phenomena. provides an opportunity systematise reading interpretation phases also by phase based on scenario development that was...

Coastal cities will suffer the increasing effects of rise in average sea level caused by climate change.The mediating space between urban agglomeration and water body, shore, acts as a barrier protection for city's public space, seashore street.However, low sandy due to erosive phenomena extreme events, is losing mass exposing coastal settlement flooding.In predicting scenarios change, knowing times, cycles rhythms shoreline necessary decode new approaches edge adaptation.

Global warming affects the city and interaction of anthropogenic systems. Among effects climate change, there is an increase in average sea level, as reported by IPCC. In unpredictable future change where cities are vulnerable anthropic systems, it required to make climate-proof. This thesis research focuses on seashore street, Portuguese coastal cities. The relationship between water built area defines a territory that has been considered habitable over time developed different forms use:...
