• Resumen

  • This chapter will analyze the landscape spatial attributes where the Roman city of Bracara Augusta (Braga) was established. Following a multidisciplinary approach, we will focus on the formal relationships between the elements, emphasizing the Roman road network. We will explain the structural importance of “Via XIX,” which linked Bracara Augusta to Lucus Augusti (Lugo), in the territorial organization from the Roman period. We will proceed with the Late Antiquity occupation analysis by reflecting on the accuracy of certain topological connections between territorial markers previously identified. We will finish with some considerations regarding the subsequent development during the Middle Age to contextualize this axis’s significance within the framework of general relationships defined in the territory. Our main goal is to argue about how “Via XIX” resulted, in fact, in the establishment of a structural alignment that determined specific features still legible in the landscape, capable of interfering in the contemporary space relationships. Through the concept of “transmission,” we will develop an analysis oriented towards architectural intervention. Our methodological approach will allow us to reflect on the concepts of tradition and innovation in a broader context by thinking about the territorial transformation through the landscape’s narrative predisposition.
