Research Groups

The Paisagens e Sociedades | Landscapes and Societies (LandS) group adopts a holistic approach to understand the productive/inhabited landscape across diverse temporal, human and physical scales. Through broad landscape and territory readings, the group examines extractive and productive activities and their impacts in the search for sustainable solutions.

The Projeto e Tecnologia | Design and Technology (DeTech) group is distinguished by its intensive lab activity that not only supports its dynamics but also interacts with other groups’ activities. This alliance opens up disciplinary domains, thus expanding interdisciplinary collaborations.

The Espaço e Representação | Space and Representation (SpaceR) group explores disciplinary boundaries to achieve full transdisciplinary knowledge, engaging with various social and geographical scales from a broad cultural perspective. Activities focus on visual culture and contextualised practices and projects, fostering collaboration with the community seen both as a contributor and knowledge beneficiary. Additionally, the group conducts consolidated studies on creative tourism and reinterprets heritage domains to activate communities and landscapes.
