The specifities of manor houses as built heritage: a case study
In Portugal there are many heritage buildings with patrimonial, historical and cultural values in an advanced degradation process. Generally, the manor houses and small palaces were built mostly in villages and away from areas with more population. In many cases they have areas and space above conventional ones which required extensive maintenance costs. On other hand, these heritage buildings has unparalleled architectural features and uniqueness in addition to all the wealth and associated history. The architectonical valorization and rehabilitation works of this type of housing has generally some constraints that are not only related with their work specificities but also with other factors many others related with misunderstandings among owners, inheritance problems, lack of money for investment, and others. These manor houses and small palaces were generally occupied by affluent families whose economic and societal position ended up being lost over the years and due to changes in political regimes. However, it is possible to adapt this kind of buildings to new typologies of use, compatible and not disturbing the original occupation, such as the use for the tourism sector. The article describes a case study that involves the surveying of constraints and other problems concerning the rehabilitation works of manor houses and small palaces. The definition of adjusted and compatible solutions are duly balanced and weighted for each case. These solutions are based on the adoption of sustainable practices that allow a certain speed and certainties in the rehabilitation works of the built heritage. Also, the rehabilitation solutions are focused on the principles of sustainability and are adjusted for this purpose using some measures and ideas of a management system to support the rehabilitation works in buildings, which was developed in a former research project. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
