dc.description.abstractAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The historic neighborhood of Alfama in Lisbon faces challenges of gentrification and touristification, which threaten its architectural heritage and urban identity. This research aims to explore the correlation between these challenges and the district's historical background. Alfama, characterized by narrow historical houses and cobblestone streets, has survived a devastating earthquake in 1755 and periods of neglect. The architectural heritage of the district holds high value and attracts tourists, but also contributes to gentrification. The research question focuses on adapting Portuguese architectural features and historical craftsmanship for an authentic renovation concept of a 17th-century apartment in Alfama. The study employs a methodology that includes research papers, surveys, and personal insights to provide profound knowledge on the social, economic, and historical aspects of the district. The findings inform the design project, proposing contemporary adaptation strategies for the interior design and architecture of a duplex apartment within a pre-pombaline building. Keywords: Lisbon, Alfama, architectural heritage, urban identity, gentrification, pre-pombaline building, renovation concepten
