"Transcribing: Ways of Seeing and Representing" was an international workshop developed in Veiga de Penso in Braga, Portugal in 2015. Participants from several disciplines (Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Geography, etc.) were asked to engage with this specific landscape, by literally living in it and interacting with its spaces, processes and communities. The main purpose was to open a multidisciplinary debate between the existing agents of Veiga de Penso - the local community, the local authorities and the municipality entity - in order to activate and turn visible new narratives and ways of seeing this specific territory. With this experimental approach, it was expected to construct a methodology that act as a device, that incites new discoveries and knowledge about the landscape and the historical culture of Veiga de Penso in Braga, Portugal.
This workshop resulted in four projects that were presented in a public exhibition at "GRNation", a cultural hub in the centre of Braga.
