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.

This publication brings together the results of the project 3DPAST: Living and virtual visiting European World Heritage, co-funded by the Creative Europe EU programme. The research highlighted the exceptional character and quality of living in vernacular dwellings found in World Heritage sites. This was possible by seizing the cultural space of European vernacular heritage, located in Pico island (Portugal), Cuenca town (Spain), Pienza (Italy), Old Rauma (Finland), Transylvania (Romania), Berat & Gjirokastra (Albania), Pátmos (Greece), and Upper Svaneti (Georgia). New digital realities grant the possibility to visit and to appreciate those places, to non-travelling audiences, who lack the opportunity to experience this unique heritage in situ. Creative potential is highlighted in 3D models and digital visualisations, which associate outstanding local knowledge with the vernacular expression of World Heritage.
