“…The process is based on the cataloging procedure, and the rhythmic and formal visual analysis of the models. Then, by looking at this digital heritage, the consistent preservation of many elements such as plasticity and design in the tiles to be renewed is possible with a systematic archiving [18].…”

The research question is shaped on the axis of how the current state of azulejo applications is positioned in terms of design and technique and how it can be carried to the future. In this direction, the aim is to provide a framework for the follow-up, mapping and strategy development steps required for azulejos. The scope consists of the steps of façade identity developed through azulejos, current studies to improve material properties, mathematics and discourse in azulejo applications, and evaluation of near future potentials. The method of the study is based on the comparison of the data obtained through the literature review on these topics. The findings were shaped on the axis of the importance of systematizing the studies. In addition to extending azulejo applications to areas such as engraving and iconography work, a base must be created that will allow researchers to leverage larger structures and broader projects on a collaborative basis. The use of contemporary modeling techniques, the application of contemporary mapping methods, the use of high-quality images will allow this design heritage to be recognized by the masses and to be carried into the future as one of the most important parts of the urban identity.

“…decoration, mostly due to the scale of the task (the number of buildings, their geographical distribution, etc.). This paper introduces the Az Infinitum -Azulejo Referencing and Indexation System (2) which is an umbrella project for various initiatives related to the collection, processing, visualization and dissemination of information related to azulejos from all centuries, including patterned azulejos (Carvalho, 2019) (3). A notable innovation of the Az Infinitum project is the use of the VGG Image Search Engine (VISE) software (Dutta et al, 2021a) -a computer-vision based toolfor the automatic matching of azulejos and the improvement of the cataloguing process.…”

Abstract. This paper introduces a new approach to the inventory and catalogue of azulejo patterns found in Portuguese buildings. It uses computer-vision based software tools for automatic search and matching of azulejo patterns, thereby improving the scalability and speed of existing cataloguing methodologies. The online catalogue of azulejo patterns is called Az Infinitum (Azulejo Referencing and Indexation System), a publicly accessible online portal suitable for both researchers and the general public who are interested in exploring and understanding this cultural heritage of Portugal. The effectiveness of this catalogue as a research support tool is demonstrated using a case study based on the Marvila pattern (i.e. P-17-00999). The online catalogue has inspired the development of an engaging application, called Azulejar, which allows one to create new patterns or understand the mathematical process behind existing azulejos patterns. This application has a potential to become an effective educational tool for inspiring everyone to explore and understand the science behind the beauty of azulejo patterns.

“…They have been applied in two forms: glass coatings applied over ceramics, or plate glass. The unique properties of glass, namely its transparency and wide variety of colours, have allowed it to become a vehicle for visual arts, contributing to the complex ornamentation of buildings and thus their valuable cultural heritage [1][2][3][4][5].…”

“…Stained glass, mosaics, and glazed tiles are an integral part of the structure of a historic building, and were designed to be a part of the architectural ensemble. The removal of these architectural elements from the original location signifies a considerable value loss; consequently, their preservation on site is of the utmost importance [5]. However, their preservation on-site raises concerns regarding their conservation, since glasses are particularly sensitive to environmental degradation, and are also very vulnerable to biodeterioration [8][9][10].…”

The main goal of this work was to review the 21st century literature (2000 to 2021) regarding the biological colonisation and biodeterioration of glass-based historical building materials, particularly stained glass and glazed tiles. One of the main objectives of this work was to list and systematize the glass-colonising microorganisms identified on stained glass and glazed tiles. Biodiversity data indicate that fungi and bacteria are the main colonisers of stained-glass windows. Glazed tiles are mainly colonised by microalgae and cyanobacteria. Several studies have identified microorganisms on stained glass, but fewer studies have been published concerning glazed tiles. The analysis of colonised samples is a vital mechanism to understand biodeterioration, particularly for identifying the colonising organisms and deterioration patterns on real samples. However, the complexity of the analysis of materials with high biodiversity makes it very hard to determine which microorganism is responsible for the biodeteriogenic action. The authors compared deterioration patterns described in case studies with laboratory-based colonisation experiments, showing that many deterioration patterns and corrosion products are similar. A working group should develop guidelines or standards for laboratory experiments on fungi, bacteria, cyanobacteria, and algae on stained glass and glazed tiles.
