Braga’s constructive evolution: patterns and typologies
In recent years, historic centers have been the object of successive interventions that change the use and the characteristic s of ancient buildings, contributing to the impoverishment of architectural heritage of the cities. This study has the main objective to understand the evolution and the constructive models of the city of Braga, through the analysis of the urban space, understanding how history influenced the constructive models. For this purpose, the methodology that was adopted valorized the crossreferencing of several documental sources, which have allowed the reconstitution of the urban space of the city, from the 16th century to the present day, to understand the urban and constructive changes that have occurred over this period of time. After understanding the evolution phases of the city of Braga, it became necessary to relate the city's growth with the construction of Braga's buildings, therefore the document "Mappa das Ruas de Braga" (MRB), from 1750 was analyzed. This document reflects the first image that exists of the city's constructions, with the intention of recognizing Braga's buildings. For this, it was necessary to compare the old facades designed by Padre Ricardo da Rocha and the houses that still exist in the city, to recognize the typological characteristics and the constructive changes that have occurred. As consequence, it is possible to observe that many of the old buildings are still in the city we see nowadays. It is imperative to understand the old, as something that needs to be recognized and protected because it reflects the history of the city and the experiences that occurred in it through its urban evolution.
