Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho, elaborado para a obtenção do grau de mestre em Arquitetura,
define-se por uma análise crítica e pela elaboração de uma proposta de reabilitação das
antigas Termas da Amieira. Procura-se compreender de que forma se podem aproveitar os
recursos existentes tanto a nível de lazer e bem-estar como a nível turístico.
O turismo de saúde e bem-estar encontra-se em ascensão e Portugal é abundante no
que diz respeito a águas termais, as quais se encontram espalhadas um pouco por todo o
território continental e ilhas. Neste sentido, o termalismo1 recupera a sua preponderância
histórica no que diz respeito à reabilitação. Porém, grande parte das estâncias termais
resumem-se a edificações que se encontram desativadas devido a instalações envelhecidas,
descontextualizadas e, por vezes, em grande estado de degradação, como é o caso do objeto
de estudo do presente trabalho.
Deste modo, e tendo como foco o âmbito da arquitetura, a presente dissertação, que
resulta de uma incessante pesquisa, aborda a importância de reabilitar essas mesmas
estâncias termais, sendo completada com um projeto cujo objetivo é intervir num conjunto
de edifícios que se encontram, maioritariamente, em ruína e que, pela sua “marca” histórica,
têm uma significativa importância para a região onde se inserem, sendo reconhecidos pela
comunidade local. De facto, a estância termal é um lugar que procura a dignidade de outros
tempos, aliando o lazer à saúde e bem-estar, atraindo pessoas para esta realidade, pela sua
natureza. Neste contexto, não se pretende recriar as antigas termas, mas sim requalificar
um conjunto arquitetónico degradado num novo espaço de lazer e bem-estar.
The present work, elaborated to obtain a master's degree in Architecture, is defined by a critical analysis and by the elaboration of a proposal for the rehabilitation of the old Termas da Amieira. It seeks to understand how existing resources can be used, both in terms of leisure and well-being, and in terms of tourism. Health and wellness tourism is on the rise and Portugal has a rich and varied abundance with regard to thermal waters that are scattered throughout its territory (mainland and islands). In this sense, thermalism2 recovers its historical preponderance with regard to rehabilitation. However, most of the thermal resorts are limited to buildings that are deactivated with aging facilities, out of context and, sometimes, in a great state of degradation, as is the case of the object of study of the present work. In this sense, this dissertation approaches the importance of rehabilitation, in the context of architecture, completing this research with a project that intervenes in a group of buildings that are mostly in ruins and that, due to their historical “mark”, have a significant importance for the region where they operate, and which are recognized by the local community. It is a place that seeks the dignity of other times, combining leisure with health and well-being, attracting people to this reality, by its nature. In this context, it is not intended to recreate the old spas, but rather to reclassify a degraded architectural complex into a new space for leisure and well-being.
