Abstract(s)
A Luz é um elemento, ou como o arquitecto Alberto Campo Baeza classifica, um material
imprescindível na construção de qualquer obra (Baeza, 1996). Existem diversas formas de
tratar a Luz na arquitectura, que começam por ser abordadas imediatamente na concepção
de um projecto. Deverá um projecto ser modelado em torno da Luz? As diferentes funções
de um projecto necessitam de um tratamento específico de Luz? Quais os tipos de Luz
natural? Quais as diferentes formas de encarar os diferentes tipos Luz? Há muitas respostas
e entendimentos em relação a este tema, sendo o interesse deste trabalho o estudo de
projectos e abordagens que integram a Luz natural como base conceptual.
É possível observar, ao longo dos séculos e dos diferentes estilos arquitectónicos, obras
diversas em que a Luz tem um papel de destaque. Este é realmente um tema de grande
importância na história da arquitectura. É importante sublinhar a procura incessante da
harmonia perfeita entre espaço arquitectónico e quantidade/qualidade de Luz, desde as
obras romanas até à contemporaneidade.
Perante este enquadramento, a presente dissertação coloca como objetivo fundamental
compreender o papel da Luz natural na história da arquitectura e sua influência em
diferentes obras e em diferentes arquitectos. Para tal, estudaram-se livros, documentos e
obras de arquitectura, de forma a perceber o papel da Luz natural na construção do
espaço, bem como a sua relevância, ou falta dela (sombra), na concepção de um projecto.
Este trabalho integra ainda a realização de uma viagem, com o objetivo de avaliar e
experenciar diretamente os aspectos antes mencionados. Para tal, foram visitadas cinco
obras de arquitectura distintas, sendo esta viagem acompanhada por um registo diário
escrito e fotográfico, também aqui incorporado. Com esta viagem pretendia-se ainda
“colecionar” um conjunto de referências sobre a Luz, a ser integradas e reinterpretadas no
projecto prático final.
Por fim, foi desenvolvido um projecto que consiste num percurso como tributo à Luz
natural na arquitectura. Este percurso atravessa vários espaços, com diferentes tipos de luz
e atmosferas, desde a sombra mais escura até a um espaço final de Luz natural absoluta.
Light is as an element, or as the architect Alberto Campo Baeza classifies it, an indispensable material in the construction of any architectural work (Baeza, 1996). However, there are several ways to treat Light in architecture, which are first addressed immediately when designing a project. Should a project be modeled around light? Do the different functions of a project require a specific light treatment? How many types of natural light are there? What are the different ways of looking at different types of light? There are a lot of answers and understandings on this subject, being the interest of this paper the study of projects and approaches concerned with natural Light as a conceptual basis. It is possible do observe, over the centuries and on different architectural styles, several buildings where Light acquieres a prominent role. This is truly a subject of great relevance in the history of architecture. It is important to underline the relentless pursuit of perfect harmony between space and quantity/quality of light, since the Roman era until the contemporaneity. Towards this framework, this dissertation poses as fundamental objective the understanding of natural Light’s role in architecture’s history and it’s influence in different works and architects. Books, documents and different works have been studied in order to understand natural Light’s role in the conception of space, as well as it’s relevance, or lack of it (shadow), during the conception of a project. This work also integrates the realization of a trip, with the objective of directly evaluate and experience the aspects mentioned above. To this end, five different architectural works were visited, being this trip was accompanied by a written and photographic diary, also incorporated here. This trip was also intended to “collect” a set of references about Light, to be integrated and reinterpreted in the final practical project. Lastly, a project was developed to create a route that acts as a tribute to natural light in architecture. A route that crosses various spaces, with different types of light and atmosferes, from the darkest shade to a final space of absolute natural light.
