      <title>ABSTRACT</title>
      <p>The sustainable regeneration of historical heritage recognizes stone as a foundational medium for architectural innovation. Within the Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) Innovating From Tradition, held in Cerveira and Porto from 7 to 12 July 2025, a study group was established to develop strategies for the enhancement of the Castle of Vila Nova de Cerveira, a neglected complex subject to strict regulations requiring minimal, reversible, and historically coherent interventions. The project aims to reconceptualize the fortifications as dynamic landscape devices, redefining and revitalizing their context through a dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary technologies. The methodology combines vernacular techniques, particularly the use of local granite, with innovative design supported by advanced cutting and assembly processes. This dual approach preserves the material and cultural authenticity of the site while introducing flexible micro-architectures adaptable to diverse uses and scenarios. The proposed interventions address both interior and exterior spaces, fostering inclusive and sustainable engagement for local communities and visitors. By leveraging the intrinsic qualities of stone, the project explores new forms of experimentation that integrate historical memory with technological innovation, thus renewing the relationship between heritage, landscape, and collective identity. Ultimately, the initiative reframes the castle from a relic of conflict into a catalyst for cultural connection, demonstrating how the harmonious integration of heritage elements and contemporary solutions can enrich visitor experience and reinforce a shared sense of belonging.</p>
