Abstract(s)
Existe atualmente um grande número de termas clássicas em Portugal o que pode dificultar o
investimento no mercado deste sector, no entanto, este nosso país é riquíssimo em fontes
naturais que potenciam espaços aqualúdicos de elevado nível, e a maioria das águas dessas
nascentes escoam naturalmente para as linhas de água próximas, acabando por se perder tal
riqueza. A Quinta Côa Rupestre (lugar da Lamigueira), situada no Graben da Longroiva
pertencente ao Vale do Côa, é exemplo dessa premissa e é neste local que o presente projeto se
desenvolve. Assim, é neste contexto que se entende o dever de dar uma “pedrada” nos
balneários clássicos e avançar com balneários pequenos que sejam o complemento, ou até,
porque não, a alavanca de um turismo rural que se quer de muita qualidade e que se entende ser
um dos eixos fundamentais para o desenvolvimento de Portugal.
A consequência destas necessidades nasce na forma destas Ecotermas rurais, pequena estância
termal que apresenta uma piscina lúdica acompanhada por um programa diverso de
equipamentos necessários à constituição de um medical spa com predomínio na vertente de
bem-estar, privilegiando a diversidade da oferta. Apresenta-se na forma de dois grupos; sendo o
primeiro o setor clássico de saúde e bem-estar, e o segundo, o setor de reabilitação física.
Fortalece deste modo o local devido à abordagem escolhida relativamente à integração num
meio rural e pela forma como dialoga com os materiais locais, completando assim o panorama
natural com esta obra arquitetónica.
Currently there is a large number of classic spas in Portugal and at first glance there might not seem to be a need for more offer in this sector, however, Portugal is very rich in natural resources that enhance high-level aqualudic spaces, and most of the waters from these springs flow naturally to the nearby water lines, ending up in the waste of such a wealthy resource. Quinta Côa Rupestre (place of Lamigueira), located in the Graben of Longroiva belonging to Vale do Côa, is an example of this premise and it is where this project is developed. Thus, it is in this context that arise the intention to innovate and change from the classic spas to smaller thermal complex for fewer people which can complement tourism of rural areas that are actually of high quality and a cornerstone for the development of Portugal. From the consequences of these needs, is born this rural Ecomedical Spa, a small spa that is equipped with a ludic pool, accompanied by a diverse program of equipments necessary for the constitution of a medical spa with predominance in wellness, prioritizing the diversity of the offers. Therefore, the thermal spa is presented in the form of two groups; the first being the classic health and wellness sector, and the second being the physical rehabilitation sector. Resulting in the reinforcement of the site due to the approach taken over the integration of the project in a rural environment and the way it uses and communicates with the materials found locally, thus completing the natural landscape with this architectural work.
