Abstract(s)
Na construção de edifícios até à Revolução Industrial os materiais utilizados na construção
apresentavam limitações estruturais que não possibilitavam um grande número de pisos e
limitavam o espaço entre vãos, não permitindo construções em open-space, sendo necessário
encontrar novas soluções. Com a Revolução Industrial surgem novos materiais como o ferro, o
aço, o vidro e o betão armado que permitem novas soluções arquitetónicas, mais arrojadas
possibilitando a construção de projetos de grande escala, o que outrora era impossível de
alcançar com os sistemas tradicionais de construção.
Neste contexto pretende-se realizar um estudo centrado na utilização de sistemas estruturais
em aço na reabilitação de um edifício industrial em alvenaria de pedra e betão, nas paredes,
lajes e coberturas, assim como perceber como conjugar dois materiais diferentes e as suas
vantagens na Arquitetura atual.
A Covilhã apresenta-se como um dos muitos exemplos da desindustrialização europeia, onde
permanecem diversos edifícios industriais devolutos, sendo imprescindível a sua recuperação.
Como reabilitar estes grandes espaços, que funções programáticas lhe devemos atribuir e de
que forma deve ser interpretada a sua intervenção, são questões às quais esta dissertação
pretende responder.
Para complementar esta dissertação, pretende-se realizar uma proposta de projeto num
edifício industrial, utilizando as estruturas metálicas de forma contemporânea, como se um
“organismo vivo” reocupasse o vazio existente. O foco principal consiste em oferecer à cidade
da Covilhã uma nova forma de intervir no espaço industrial com a utilização de sistemas
estruturais em aço.
In the construction of buildings until the Industrial Revolution, the materials used presented structural restrictions that did not allow a large number of floors and limit the space between spans, not enabling “open-space” constructions, and therefore impose the need of finding new solutions. With the Industrial Revolution, new materials have emerged, such as the iron, the steel, the glass and the reinforced concrete, which permit new architectural solutions, more audacious, providing the construction of large-scale projects, that was formerly impossible to attain with the traditional construction systems. In this context, it is aimed to perform a study focused on the employment of steel structural systems in the rehabilitation of an industrial building of stone and concrete masonry on the walls, slabs and roofs, as well as understand how to conjugate two different materials and their vantages to the current Architecture. Covilhã present itself as one of many other examples of the European deindustrialization, where remain various run-down industrial buildings, being essential their recuperation. How to rehabilitate these spaces, which programmatic functions might be attributed and how their intervention should be interpreted, are issues to which this dissertation aims to answer. To complement this dissertation, it is intended to elaborate a project proposal to an industrial building, by using the metallic structures in a contemporary way, as if an “alive organism” had reoccupied the existing emptiness. The main focus consists in offering to Covilhã a new manner of intervene in the industrial space with the utilization of steel structural systems.
