RESHAPING THE FUTURE OF PORTUGUESE <i>AZULEJO</i> PATTERNS
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...

| description | 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 <i>Az Infinitum</i> (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 <i>Azulejar</i>, 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. |
