Interest in sustainable construction has been increasing due to recent events. The limitations of natural resources and the scale global impacts, specifically as a result effects climate change, have consequences for sector. These changes are giving rise need reassess way we face built environment rethink new solutions systems or methods that contribute mitigating negative consequences, among which highlight prefabrication method. This scenario, characterised by meet decarbonisation goals...
Este artigo coloca em perspectiva a problemática das relações políticas e institucionais entre diferentes níveis de governação da administração colonial portuguesa esta os estratos superiores comunidade branca Angola. Para o efeito, definimos um triângulo analítico constituído por: a) Estado central, representado pelo Ministério do Ultramar; b) colonial, Governo Geral Angola; c) as elites brancas Angola, representadas pelas respectivas associações económicas. A análise incide...
1. INTRODUCTIONThe horizon motions of the sun and moon, especially their extremes, are well attested as targets for alignments archaeological sites since prehistoric times, many cultures across globe. Monuments such Newgrange Stonehenge have main axis oriented towards solstices whereas others, e.g. temples in Malta, also exhibit with equinoxes.1 Proponents lunar tend to focus on so-called standstills. Clive Ruggles's comprehensive survey British Irish megalithic monuments shows a preference...
This research paper investigates the potential of MICADO method in modular structures through parametric development. The approach combines frame-supported modulus systems with prefabricated panels for exterior walls, allowing simultaneous installation. study addresses constraints related to architectural plans, focusing on structural behavior under seismic and gravity loads. Case studies are employed evaluate elements' resistance assess buildings' lateral stability during events. findings...
This investigative study explored the potential of a novel approach called modular insulated concrete core—advanced and optimized panelized production system (MICADO) method within realm structures, focusing on its parametric development. By combining frame-supported systems with premanufactured panels for exterior walls, MICADO allows simultaneous installation, has demonstrated promising prospects. research investigated challenges associated assembling connecting structures in face seismic...
This paper discusses the incapacity of Portuguese Estado Novo to successfully decolonise its territories in southern Africa, especially Angola and Mozambique. More precisely, what I will analyse is failure policy autonomy for colonies promoted by Portugal’s Prime Minister Marcelo Caetano between 1968 1974. As such, first colonial administration’s reform process carried out Caetano, under “progressive participation” colonies. Then, discuss limits this brewing strong tensions within regime....
MICADO is a modular construction system for dwellings, proposed and developed by Portuguese startup.In brief, it consists of building the dwelling envelope using prefabricated panels.The panels come pre-finished include adequate thermal insulation.They have width range between 300 mm to 1200 mm.Each panel vertically perforated assist with its on-site assemblage, accommodate structural components.The solution allows wide architectural solutions, as well multiple size openings (e.g., doors...

Two case studies in Azores islands show possible integration elements landscape, and skyscape way two different types artificial structures were aligned. major axes Maroiço from Pico Island may have been aligned on summit Mountain and, reciprocally, setting sun at summer solstice over neighbouring Faial Island. caves near sea excavated Monte Brasil, Terceira Island,...
