A possibilidade de conservar e acumular alimentos teve a maior importância na história do homem e da civilização humana. A variedade de processos de preservado e armazenamento relaciona-se com a própria diversidade dos produtos e é condicionada por razões climáticas das diferentes regiões. No Portugal húmido, que compreende as províncias do Entre Douro e Minho, o distrito de Aveiro, na Beira Litoral, o distrito de Vila Real, em Trás-os-Montes e a parte ocidental da Beira Alta, o complexo agrícola é dominado pelo milho, que se colhe em espiga e requer secagem e armazenagem conveniente. As unidades agrícolas dessa área integram instaladas adequadas a essa função - eiras, alpendres, sequeiras e espigueiros - que se revestem de urna enorme riqueza de formas, por vezes com motivos ornamentáis que parecem sublinhar a natureza sagrada do pão.

Vernacular architecture represents a great resource that has considerable potential to define principles for sustainable design and contemporary architecture. This publication is the result of an overall aim to produce a valuable tool for analysis regarding vernacular heritage through different assessments, in order to define principles to consider for sustainable development. This was possible through a comprehensive reflection on the principles established and the strategies to recognise in different world contexts. The present publication was the result of an in-depth approach by 46 authors from 12 countries, concerned with the analysis and critical assessment of vernacular heritage and its sustainable perspective. The book presents 8 chapters addressing operational definitions and synopses advances, regarding the main areas of vernacular heritage contribution to sustainable architecture. It also presents 15 chapters and 53 case studies of vernacular and contemporary approaches in all the 5 continents, regarding urban, architectural, technical and constructive strategies and solutions.
