Summary
The cultural landscape of the Alto Douro Wine Region faces significant challenges in balancing tradition and modernity. Research indicates that the mythification of rural life and nostalgic vernacular architecture creates tensions in heritage preservation. The study explores how the development of a 'heritage-landscape' concept can contribute to contemporary wine architecture between 2001 and 2011, enhancing tourist activities and territorial valorization. This approach highlights the potential for sustainable development through architectural innovation while preserving cultural identity.
