Abstract
This graduation project is the heritage design of an abandoned factory in the Estação neighborhood, Faro, Portugal. The aim of MSc3 Graduation Studio: Revitalising Heritage is to develop and test values-based models for redesigning built heritage. There are three main phases: cultural significance survey, values-based redesign, and heritage impact assessment. This project applied cultural mapping, decision-making participation, and impact assessment methods to fulfill the value-based redesign and improve residents' place attachment. The design proposal is making use of the outdoor space with nature to support people’s interaction and leisure activity without harming the calm atmosphere and the elderly’s sense of ownership.
