Abstract(s)

I bring out in this dissertation project a few significant issues like history of the city Covilha, located in the middle Portugal, which developed with textile industry, experienced high times thanks to it and suffered economical and social fall in the Industrial Revolution Times. Despite problematic times, the city managed to raise again from the crisis by finding new concept for city function, which nowadays is the symbol of the city – Universidade da Beira Interior. The subject is very interesting because of the fact that Covilha build itself again putting the University Faculties into former factory buildings showing that way its pride of the factor which ruined the city and respecting the left heritage. I would like to follow this experience by adapting former factory into Students’ Creativity Center with Architecture to show that the post-industrial heritage has a lot of potential and it’s highly re-designable for any function we can imagine.
