The research project "Design and Intervention between Form and Function" promotes the preservation of architectural heritage and the improvement of its conditions, particularly in terms of thermal comfort and energy efficiency. It proposes a formal (architectural) and functional (constructive) analysis of interventions applied to practical cases to establish a relationship between heritage protection measures and the implementation of sustainability strategies.
The integrated analysis between intervened and non-intervened examples allows for identifying and characterising actions taken and the definition and development of new strategies. This approach suggests constructing a methodology that seeks to relate Form and Function in built heritage.
