Special Issue "Functional Rehabilitation of Built Environment". The relationship between materials and technology in the built environment functional rehabilitation can present at least three kinds of strategies: neo-vernacular (reuse of conventional materials and technologies); low-tech (new materials versus traditional technologies and traditional materials versus new technologies) and high-tech (new materials and technologies). This special issue will focus. 2020. Mendonça, Paulo; Silva, Lígia Torres. http://hdl.handle.net/1822/72219.
