Walter Rossa is architect, urban planner, researcher and Professor of University of Coimbra.
Graduate in Architecture by the Technical University of Lisbon (1985), Master in History of Art by the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (1991), PhD (2001) and Aggregate in Architecture (2013) by the University of Coimbra. Full Professor at the Department of Architecture of the University of Coimbra (1989), and researcher at the Center for the History of Society and Culture of the University of Coimbra (2021). He has been visiting professor at Federal University of Bahia, Fluminense Federal University, Pablo de Olavide University, M_EIA - Instituto Universitário de Artes, Tecnologia e Cultura do Mindelo, University of Porto, University of Lúrio, Goa University (Cunha Rivara Chair), University of the Algarve (Odebrecht Capistrano de Abreu Chair), and University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, (Hélio and Amélia Pedroso/ Luso-American Development Foundation Endowed Chair). Till 2016 he was the first director of the interactive website HPIP, Heritage of Portuguese Influence/ Património de Influência Portuguesa and, he still is, with Miguel Bandeira Jerónimo, coordinator of the PhD programme Heritages of Portuguese Influence. [1]
He has published works on the history and theory of urbanism, history of architecture, and cultural heritage in Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, and Italian. His research has been developed following two main tracks:
I. One dedicated to land ordinance, urban planning, and urbanism of Portuguese Influence, which main milestones are:
During the last years, his work evolved through the reading of Iberian urbanism cultures as a whole, with respect to the transfer of the main European urbanizing procedures and models on the configuration of colonial cities and territories. The first synthesis comes out as the keynote lecture Stone Raft: allegory on the spread of European urbanistic in Early Modern times, addressed to the 12th International Conference on Urban History: Cities in Europe Cities in the World (2014), held by the European Association for Urban History (EUHA).
II. The second research track is about urban planning for relevant cultural heritage contexts. Although his work was primarily focused on planning and project experiences during the first years, it became gradually more and more centered on the theoretical discussion. Among those experiences are:
These plans and projects have been published, including its theoretical support and discussion. Other texts addressing the conceptualization of cultural urban heritage and safeguard and/ or conservation planning, are gathered in the book Fomos condenados à cidade: uma década de estudos sobre património urbanístico. [5] [ when? ]
III. During the last years the finding of synergies between that two research tracks lead him and his research team to the formulation, testing and development of concepts like grammar and urbanistic heritage, drawing history, hyperdraw and heritage as technology, leading his urbanistic analysis work to be made under the trinomial guidance of structure, form and image. His last work on that is the book chapter "Urbanismo ou o discurso da cidade". In Patrimónios de Influência Portuguesa: modos de olhar. [6] Coimbra, Lisboa e Niterói: Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Editora da Universidade Federal Fluminense, 2015. He is also become more committed with cooperation in the Portuguese Speaking countries, trying to apply his expertise on behalf of sustainable development actions in advanced teaching and strategic planning.
The last and most representative action on that is the cooperation he established between the universities Lúrio and Coimbra regarding teachers' interchange and training. Among some ongoing actions within that frame, in July 2018, he edited with his Ph.D. students Nuno Lopes and Nuno Simão Gonçalves the book Oficinas de Muhipiti: planeamento estratégico, património, desenvolvimento (Mihipiti Workshop: strategic planning, heritage, development), that gathered the methods and results of the homonymous event that took place in the Island of Mozambique in July 2017, regarding issues of that UNESCO's World Heritage Listed site.
Walter Rossa's academic track includes a set of research projects and other activities from which are especially relevant:
He has a large pedagogical experience. Beyond a large and diverse teaching practice, he has supervised 81 theses (16 PhDs). The PhD programme Patrimónios de Influência Portuguesa [1] (Heritages of Portuguese Influence) that he coordinates at the University of Coimbra since 2010, has been awarded the prize Projetos Inovadores no Domínio Educativo (Education Innovative Projects) granted by Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, not only because of its formative component but also due to its purpose to raise up an international think tank on the Portuguese influence heritages subject, that now has a more comprehensive and institutional framework with the UNESCO Chair described above.
Walter Rossa is seldom requested to consult on heritage subjects, to scientific committees, and to make conferences in many countries (Argentina, Brazil, Cabo Verde, China, France, Guatemala, India, Italy, Macao, Morocco, Mexico, Mozambique, Nederland, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, USA, and Uruguay).

In the Middle Ages, the Galician-Portuguese lyric, also known as trovadorismo in Portugal and trobadorismo in Galicia, was a lyric poetic school or movement. All told, there are around 1680 texts in the so-called secular lyric or lírica profana. At the time Galician-Portuguese was the language used in nearly all of Iberia for lyric poetry. From this language derives both modern Galician and Portuguese. The school, which was influenced to some extent by the Occitan troubadours, is first documented at the end of the twelfth century and lasted until the middle of the fourteenth, with its zenith coming in the middle of the thirteenth century, centered on the person of Alfonso X, The Wise King. It is the earliest known poetic movement in Galicia or Portugal and represents not only the beginnings of but one of the high points of poetic history in both countries and in Medieval Europe. Modern Galicia has seen a revival movement called neotrobadorismo.
