Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação consiste numa investigação em torno da conceção de um
Tanatório, com aplicação prática no contexto específico da cidade de Penafiel. A morte é
um acontecimento inerente à vida que necessita de um espaço próprio para a sua
celebração. O Tanatório é atualmente uma opção arquitetónica frequente na europa e
que dá resposta a esta necessidade, possibilitando que haja espaços para diversos rituais
para além dos previstos pela religião católica, que se tornam cada vez mais e importantes
em termos simbólicos. Sendo este um espaço dedicado à celebração do ritual da morte,
o edifício que o conforma deve ser capaz de acolher um programa com requisitos
específicos no que diz respeito às emoções humanas. Assim sendo, são explorados
exemplos através de estudos práticos e visitas in situ, ajudando na tarefa de definir um
programa para o projeto e para, no geral, melhor compreender os requisitos deste tipo
de edifício.
O Tanatório é aqui entendido como um espaço que liga a morte a um lugar físico de
memória e que acolhe sentimentos de sofrimento e a aceitação perante a perda. Este
projeto conceptualiza-se dando forma a um local de encontro entre os vivos e os mortos.
Desta forma, propõe-se como enquadramento teórico ao projeto, o tema da arquitetura
fúnebre e as suas transformações e relações com a metrópole no decorrer das últimas
décadas, em particular na Europa. São igualmente analisados elementos específicos
sobre a cidade de Penafiel e a pertinência da implementação deste equipamento nesse
contexto específico, tal como o estudo concreto do terreno escolhido, apontando para o
desenho de estratégias que definam um espaço próprio e o mais adequado possível para
esse efeito.
This dissertation consists of an investigation around the design of a Tanatorium, with practical application in the specific context of the city of Penafiel. Death is an event inherent to life that needs its own space for its celebration. The Tanatorium is currently a frequent architectural option in Europe and responds to this need, allowing spaces for various rituals beyond those provided by the Catholic religion, which are becoming increasingly important in symbolic terms. Since this is a space dedicated to the celebration of the death ritual, the building that forms it must be able to accommodate a program with specific requirements with regard to human emotions. Therefore, examples are explored through practical studies and on-site visits, helping in the task of defining a program for the project and, in general, to better understand the requirements of this type of building. The Tanatorium is understood here as a space that links death to a physical place of memory and that welcomes feelings of suffering and acceptance of the loss. This project conceptualizes itself by forming a meeting place between the living and the dead. In this way, it is proposed as a theoretical framework for the project, the theme of funeral architecture and its transformations and relations with the metropolis over the last decades, particularly in Europe. Specific elements about the city of Penafiel and the pertinence of implementing this equipment in this specific context are also analysed, such as the concrete study of the chosen terrain, pointing to the design of strategies that define a space of its own and as suitable as possible for this purpose.
