Abstract(s)
Inserido na Serra de Santa Justa, cidade de Gondomar, surge um dos sanatórios
mais imponentes de Portugal, o Sanatório de Mont’Alto. Desocupado desde o
século passado devido a conjunturas económicas, políticas e demográficas, este
edifício surge num período de luta incessante contra a tuberculose em Portugal.
Trata-se de uma herança deixada pela arquitetura sanatorial cuja origem remete
para o período do Estado Novo, e que, passado quase meio século do seu
encerramento, a população de São Pedro da Cova não esquece, contando até aos
dias de hoje com visitantes que o procuram com o intuito de saber mais sobre o
passado do que hoje é uma ruína ou pelas vistas desafogadas que proporciona
sobre a cidade do Porto, Valongo e Gondomar.
Assim, conscientes do aumento dos edifícios em estado de degradação,
consideramos imperativo avaliar e propor a reabilitação do edificado existente, em
particular os sanatórios, cuja tipologia surgiu exclusivamente para o combate da
tuberculose numa altura de grandes transformações, que face ao avanço da
medicina e do controlo da doença, foram esquecidos, estando na maior parte
devolutos.
Posto isto, realizou-se um projeto de reabilitação e reconversão do Sanatório de
Mont’Alto, alicerçado no estudo feito sobre a tríade arquitetura, política e
medicina. Ao longo dos quatro capítulos pretendemos compreender os
acontecimentos que estiveram na base do movimento sanatorial iniciado no século
XIX e de que forma se pode adaptar estruturas em ruína para novos usos.
Inserted in the Serra de Santa Justa, city of Gondomar, stands one of the most imposing sanatoriums in Portugal, the Mont’Alto Sanatorium. Unoccupied since the last century due to economic, political, and demographic circumstances, this building emerged during a period of incessant struggle against tuberculosis disease in Portugal. This is a legacy left by the sanatorium architecture, which almost half a century after its closure, whose origins date back to the period of the Estado Novo, the population of São Pedro da Cova does not forget the Sanatorium, counting on this day visitors who seek it out aiming to find out more about the past of what is now a ruin and for the open views that it offers over the city of Porto. Therefore, and aware of the increase of buildings in a state of degradation, we consider it imperative to evaluate and propose the rehabilitation of existing buildings, in particular sanatoriums, a typology that emerged exclusively to combat tuberculosis at a time of great transformations, but due to the advancement of medicine and disease control, were forgotten, with most of them being vacant. Therefore, a rehabilitation and reconversion project were carried out at the Mont’Alto Sanatorium based on the study on the triad of architecture, politics, and medicine. Throughout the four chapters, we intend to understand the events that were the basis of the sanatorium movement that began in the 19th century and how ruined structures can be adapted for new uses
