Abstract(s)
Esta dissertação analisa os projetos de Artur Andrade para o lugar da Aboinha, em Gondomar, acompanhando as suas diferentes fases de transformação, a casa inicial de segunda habitação do arquiteto, em 1954, e a adaptação a Estalagem Santiago em 1967, mas também as suas alterações posteriores a partir de 1991. O estudo sobre o enquadramento biográfico do autor e o contexto do Movimento Moderno em Portugal, indispensáveis para situar o caso de estudo e interpretar coerentemente as opções projetuais do arquiteto, distinguindo-as das alterações subsequentes.
A investigação centra-se na reconstituição rigorosa das fases de 1954 e 1967, conjugando processos de obra, desenhos, memórias descritivas, registos fotográficos e bibliografia especializada. O projeto inicial revela uma obra alinhada com os princípios funcionalistas, nomeadamente os cincos pontos para a arquitetura moderna definidos por Le Corbusier, sendo até possível fazer uma aproximação à Villa Savoye, assim como influências brasileiras, dado o seu carácter curvilíneo e as semelhanças próximas à Casa de Vidro de Lina Bo Bardi. A adaptação de 1967, motivada pelo novo programa turístico, introduz um corpo de maior escala e infraestruturas, marcando uma inflexão tardo-moderna na trajetória de Andrade, talvez com inspirações inglesas, ainda que indiretas.
A remodelação de 1991, já não conduzida pelo arquiteto, acentua a descaracterização do conjunto, dificultando a leitura do projeto inicial e revelando as tensões entre conservação, mudança de uso e viabilidade funcional.
Os resultados destacam a importância arquitetónica desta obra múltipla no panorama moderno português e a sua utilidade para compreender a evolução de Artur Andrade, da adesão entusiástica ao Movimento Moderno à abertura a linguagens tardo-modernas.
Metodologicamente, o trabalho demonstra o valor da reconstituição gráfica crítica para colmatar lacunas documentais em obras muito transformadas, permitindo fixar uma interpretação fundamentada do objeto.
Perante a iminência de novas alterações, esta dissertação fixa uma leitura que poderá apoiar estudos futuros sobre a obra de Artur Andrade e informar estratégias de preservação do património moderno, frequentemente sujeito a sucessivas adaptações.
This dissertation analyses Artur Andrade's projects for the Aboinha site in Gondomar, following its different phases of transformations, from the architect's initial second home proposal in 1954 to its adaptation into the Estalagem Santiago in 1967, as well as its subsequent alterations from 1991 onwards. The study of the author's biographical background and the context of the Modern Movement in Portugal is essential to situate the case study and coherently interpret the architect's design choices, distinguishing them from subsequent renovations. The research focuses on a rigorous reconstruction of the 1954 and 1967 phases, combining municipal building permit processes, drawings, descriptive memoirs, photographic records and specialised bibliography. The initial project reveals a work aligned with functionalist principles, namely the five points for modern architecture defined by Le Corbusier, being even possible to draw parallels with Villa Savoye, as well as Brazilian influences, given its curvilinear character and close similarities to Lina Bo Bardi's Glass House. The 1967 adaptation, motivated by a new touristic programme, introduces a larger-scale mass and expanded infrastructure, marking a late-modern inflection in Andrade's career, perhaps with English overtones, albeit indirect. The 1991 refurbishment, no longer led by the architect, accentuates the decharacterisation of the complex, making it difficult to perceive the initial design and revealing the tensions between conservation, change of use and functional viability. The results highlight the architectural importance of this multifaceted work in the modern Portuguese landscape and its usefulness in understanding the evolution of Artur Andrade, from his enthusiastic adherence to the Modern Movement to his openness to late-modern languages. Methodologically, the work aims to stress the value of critical graphic reconstruction in filling the gaps in primary sources of highly transformed works, allowing for a solidly substantiated reading of an architectural object. In view of the imminence of further changes, this dissertation establishes an interpretation that may support future studies on the work of Artur Andrade and inform strategies for the preservation of modern heritage, which is often subject to successive reworkings.
