In the construction field, subjects such as energy efficiency and thermal performance are often addressed within the scope of mandatory regulations, the suitability of construction solutions and the incorporation of technical equipment. Considering four residential structures for older adults under construction in Portugal, this paper aims to highlight the importance of a comprehensive approach to these issues, including architectural quality as the main target. In pursuit of this, a cohesive set of intervention principles guided the analysis: the adaptive reuse of raw materials; taking advantage of the site\u2019s conditions; vegetation (type and location); construction options and durability; solar exposure and shading; the pedagogy of building use; and the comfort and thermal perception. Several reflections emerge from the analysis: good architectural design must consider dynamic models incorporating each context and the site\u2019s conditions; the culture of use and maintenance and the notion of \u201cadaptive comfort\u201d are primary factors to enhance thermal performance and energy efficiency; and each building is a unique result of a complex negotiation process. Bridging research through practice, and multidisciplinary scientific integration enable engagement with reality and raise awareness of the constraints and challenges to innovation in LTC design.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/buildings13041067","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,19]],"date-time":"2023-04-19T01:09:22Z","timestamp":1681866562000},"page":"1067","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Good Architecture Matters: The Architect\u2019s Perspective on Design for Ageing and Energy Efficiency"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7404-7168","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gisela","family":"Lameira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Architecture, University of Porto, 4150-564 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8234-5974","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui Jorge Garcia","family":"Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Architecture, University of Porto, 4150-564 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Nuno","family":"Valentim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Architecture, University of Porto, 4150-564 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Azar","family":"Mohammadpanah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Architecture, University of Porto, 4150-564 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Mauree, D., Coccolo, S., Perera, A., Nik, V., Scartezzini, J.-L., and Naboni, E.
