O Termalismo em Portugal vive tempos agitados; as diversas mudanças na demanda termal, os tempos modernos que exigem cada vez mais qualidade e optimização de custos, a concorrência que apresenta variadíssimas alternativas, a crise económica que assombra o panorama mundial, entre muitos outros factores que podem afastar grande parte das massas que usufruem estes espaços medicinais. A sua localização muitas vezes também é um factor de risco para a respectiva sobrevivência, visto que a mesma influência de forma directa quem as procura, cada vez mais estes pólos devem ser suficientemente atractivos e auto- funcionais.
Ao longo das gerações, o homem conhece os benefícios das águas, dos seus banhos e tratamentos vários, sendo esse caminho que conduziu à descoberta de fontes, das diferentes
formas de captação, da sua utilização. Tem constituído, sem sombra de dúvida, uma das mais belas demonstrações da perseverança do Homem, no que diz respeito à exploração dos nossos recursos naturais, neste caso especial “A ÁGUA”.
A presente dissertação consiste na análise e posterior intervenção num edifício de carácter termal. Situado junto da aldeia de Quarta-feira, concelho de Sabugal, numa encosta da Serra da Pena encontra-se o Hotel Serra da Pena, também conhecido como Termas Rádium. É hoje uma ruína que se demarca da paisagem pelo seu ar acastelado e sua construção em granito, onde predomina um solo rochoso, com uma envolvente paisagística natural e quase intacta pelo homem.
As ruínas perderam a importância de outrora, fonte dinamizadora da região e da aldeia adjacente. Hoje é visto como um espaço de memórias, onde a população guarda mágoa e tristeza pelo abandono do mesmo, poucos acreditam numa reviravolta no tempo.
Não existem registos escritos precisos sobre a sua data de construção, mas este remonta ao início do Séc. XX. Reza a lenda que foi o Conde Espanhol “D. Rodrigo” que mandou construir, pelas águas milagrosas desse local que curaram a sua filha.
Pretende-se então recuperar a zona termal, para que esta possa readquirir funções de carácter lúdico e de saúde; em suma, vai ter um SPA, onde os utentes podem usufruir de todos os benefícios que a água contém, com variadíssimos tratamentos desta natureza.
Além dos espaços dedicados à saúde, propõe-se a criação de equipamentos de apoio, nomeadamente um Hotel e um restaurante.
Pretende-se ainda uma qualificação da envolvente paisagística, através da criação de zonas de lazer e de espaços direccionados para a prática de actividades físicas ao ar livre (ex.: campo de ténis). Além da componente prática já mencionada, a dissertação proposta irá abranger uma vertente teórica de enquadramento, contemplando vários temas do termalismo nacional e europeu.
The Hydrotherapy in Portugal lives rocky times; the various changes in the thermal demand, the modern times are demanding higher quality and cost optimization, the competition that presents extensive range of alternatives, the economic crisis that haunts the world scene, among many other factors that can depart big part of the masses who enjoy these medical spaces. It’s location is often also a risk factor for it’s survival, since it directly influences the demand, these poles must increase and be sufficiently self-functional and attractive. Throughout generations, man knows all the benefits of water, their baths and various treatments, and this path led to the sources discovery, different forms of capitation and their use. This has constituted, without a doubt, one of the finest statements of perseverance of man, regarding the exploitation of our natural resources, in this particular case "WATER". The present dissertation consists on the analysis and subsequent intervention in a building of thermal nature. Situated near the village of Quarta-Feira, county of Sabugal, in a slope of the Serra da Pena is the Hotel Serra Pena, also known as Radium Spa. It is now a ruin that demarcates the landscape by it’s castellated air and granite construction, where a rocky ground is predominant with a natural surrounding landscape and almost untouched by man. The ruins have lost the importance of other times, proactive source of the region and the adjacent village. Today it is seen as a place of memories, where the population saves heartache and sorrow for it’s abandonment, few believe in a turnaround of time. There are no accurate written records on it’s date of construction, but this goes back to the beginning of the twentieth century. Legend has it that it was the Spanish Count "D. Rodrigo " who built it, because of the miraculous waters of that location which healed his daughter. The intention is to retrieve the thermal zone, so that it can regain functions of ludic nature and health, in short, will have a SPA, where users can enjoy all the benefits that water contains, with widely varying treatments of this nature. In addition to the dedicated health areas, it proposes the creation of support facilities, like a hotel and a restaurant. It also aims a qualification of the surrounding landscape through the creation of recreational areas and directed spaces to the practice of outdoor physical activities (eg tennis). Besides the practical component mentioned above, the proposed dissertation will cover a theoretical framework, covering various topics of national and European hydrotherapy.
