Abstract(s)
Falar numa intervenção numa cidade milenar e histórica como Guimarães envolve: falar na sua gente, na
conservação do seu património (essencialmente) urbano, na preservação estrita da sua identidade e
autenticidade patrimonial, na continuidade das permanências essenciais de longo prazo (da cidade como
monumento e na estrutura da sua morfologia), na conservação das suas qualidades formais actualmente
sedimentadas (a arquitectura vernácula), mas também na integração de novos caminhos, novas
oportunidades.
Os órgãos responsáveis pelo desenvolvimento de estratégias de reabilitação do centro histórico da
cidade de Guimarães - primeiro protagonizadas por Nuno Portas, depois por Fernando Távora -
defenderam a interdição do demolir para dar lugar ao betão, salvaguardando a imagem da cidade, e
“obrigando-nos” hoje a [re]pensar as intervenções na área.
A protecção característica da área intramuros em que o centro histórico de Guimarães se insere transpõese
para a forma como as ruas e os edifícios da envolvente se configuram. Os logradouros de quarteirões
e vazios urbanos desta tão apertada malha urbana não são excepção, apresentando-se então fechados
sobre si mesmos, rodeados de património nacional secular, e pontualmente em estado devoluto.
A presente dissertação tem como principais objectivos o estudo da distribuição, enquadramento e configuração de conjuntos formados por quarteirões e os seus intrínsecos “vazios devolutos” da área urbana pertencente ao centro histórico de Guimarães, assim como a elaboração de uma proposta de reinterpretação arquitectónica a desenvolver num quarteirão específico, que seja de elevada relevância para aplicações concretas futuras.
You can’t speak in an intervention on an ancient and historic city as Guimarães without speaking: about its people, neither about its (mostly) urban heritage preservation, neither about strict preserving the identity and patrimonial authenticity, nor the continuity of essential long-term continuities (with the city as monument and on its morphological structure), not even on the conservation of formal qualities currently sedimented (vernacular architecture), but also be able to deal with the integration of new ways of thinking, new opportunities. The responsible agencies for developing strategies on the Guimarães historic city center rehabilitation - first played by Nuno Portas, then Fernando Távora - defended the ban on demolition to make way for concrete, safeguarding the city image, and “forcing us” to [re]think today intervention in the area. The characteristic protection of the intramural area on which the Guimarães historic city center is in, is translated to the way the streets and the buildings around appear. The block’s playgrounds and the urban voids of this tight and special urban fabric are not exception, presented then closed upon themselves, surrounded by secular national heritage and punctually on vacant state. This work has as main objective the study of the distribution, framework and configuration of sets formed by blocks and their intrinsic “empty vacant” from the urban area that belongs to the Guimarães historic city center, as well as the preparation of a proposal to develop an architectural reinterpretation of a specific block, that is highly relevant to future practical applications.
