The Health, Well-being and Architecture training units, a joint initiative between FAUP and FMUP, with the coordination of Teresa Leão, FMUP, and Ana Neiva, FAUP, and the participation of teachers from the health area - Ana Isabel Ribeiro, ISPUP -, architecture - Eliseu Gonçalves and Gisela Lameira, CEAU-FAUP -, and landscape architecture - Carla Gonçalves, FCUP; and Heritage and Landscape. Management, Analysis, Design, coordinated by professors of architecture - Teresa Cunha Ferreira, FAUP -, landscape architecture - Teresa Portela Marques, FCUP -, art history - Maria Leonor Botelho, FLUP -, and engineering - Xavier Romão, FEUP -, are among the winning projects in the 2024 edition of the 'InovPed Seal' competition.

The 'InovPed Seal' aims, on the one hand, to distinguish a training unit already created or to be created, duly accredited within the scope of U.Porto's Continuing Education and, on the other, interdisciplinarity and the development of transversal skills, with the existence of a multi-unit faculty being a mandatory condition.

The Health, Well-being and Architecture training unit reflects on the intersection of health and architecture, looking at the impact of (un)healthy public and private spaces on health, and promoting dialogues between students, teachers and researchers in Architecture and Medicine. The main objectives of the course are to make future doctors aware of the importance of the places where people live for a better diagnosis and treatment, and future architects aware of the importance of designing healthier public and private spaces.
