This program will take place in the Municipality of Arcos de Valdevez, Portugal.
Local traditional urbanism, architecture, and building details will be studied to create a catalogue of preservation and new traditional building patterns for the area.
During the last days upgrade proposals for different public places of the town will be designed, using the work previously developed as a guideline for them.
Hand drawing and measuring buildings will be the main activity to be developed each day.
Experts in local vernacular architecture and building techniques will be lecturing on diverse related topics.
There will be trips around the area and some building sites will be visited too.
