«The last VitaC of 2025 will take place next Tuesday, 18 November.

VitaC | Peripheral Upgrading for a Sustainable Habitat – Nádia Albuquerque supervised by Prof. Manuel Correia Guedes, Prof. Isabel Ortins Raposo and Prof. Catarina Ruivo.

The proliferation of spontaneous settlements in Sub-Saharan Africa reveals profound spatial and environmental inequalities. This research develops the 3S Framework (Social, Sustainable, Standardisation), analysing self-produced morphologies in Luanda, Maputo, and São Tomé through typo-processual, space syntax, and thermal performance analysis, to establish contextual guidelines that inform scalable decision-making processes in similar Sub-Saharan contexts.

VitaC is an engaging monthly seminar series designed to explore and highlight the latest research initiatives within the Center for Innovation in Territory, Urbanism and Architecture (CiTUA) at Instituto Superior Técnico, aiming to provide a dynamic platform for researchers to present their work, engage in diverse debates and promote innovation through collaboration.»
