A presente dissertação tem como título “ Património Molinológico: Proposta para Preservação e Reutilização de um Moinho”.
Este trabalho é resultado de uma investigação levada a cabo no concelho da Ribeira Grande constituindo um contributo para o conhecimento e divulgação do vasto conjunto de moinhos de água existentes na costa Norte da ilha de São Miguel. Este património, desde cedo tornou esta localidade como o principal e mais importante centro moageiro de toda a ilha, que por sua vez contribuiu para o desenvolvimento urbano e económico até à sua decadência a partir da segunda metade do século XX.
Com base na bibliografia e documentação consultada sobre a temática, verificou-se a importância dos moinhos de água ao longo da história do concelho, existindo grande abundância destas indústrias de moagem por todo o território, tendo sido efetuado um inventário destas estruturas e seus afluentes associados in situ, de forma a quantificar as construções ainda existentes e do estado de conservação em que se encontravam. Este património molinológico, outrora caracterizador de uma sociedade rural, revela que a moagem no concelho sofreu várias alterações ao longo dos tempos, tendo evoluído de uma atividade tradicional para uma prática que poderá ser considerada como pré industrial antes de ter entrado em decadência.
Estas construções constituem marcos na paisagem geradores de nostalgia, associadas ao seu abandono e degradação, requerem uma solução que promova a sua recuperação direccionada para uma reutilização sustentável, tendo em conta não só as condicionantes socio-económicas, como o enquadramento legal local. Assim, a dissertação pretende ser um contributo para o seu estudo e uma reflexão sobre o futuro destas estruturas, sendo apresentado uma proposta de integração de um moinho de água num processo de regeneração urbana, que pretende valorizá-lo enquanto património local, adequando-o à época atual com um novo uso, de forma a sensibilizar a população da importância destas construções no âmbito cultural e identitário, e na sua adaptação à realidade contemporânea.
The present dissertation is entitled " Molinological Heritage: Proposal for Preservation and Reuse of a Mill.” This work is the result of a research carried out in the municipality of Ribeira Grande and it constitutes a contribution to the knowledge and dissemination of the wide range of existing water mills on the North coast of São Miguel island. This heritage, soon made this location the main and most important milling center of the whole island, which, in turn, contributed to the economic and urban development until its decline from the second half of the 20th century on. Based on bibliography and documentation consulted on the subject, it was verified the importance of the water mills over the history of the county and there is great abundance of these milling industries throughout the territory, having been made an inventory on site of these structures and its associated tributaries, in order to quantify the buildings that still exist and the state of conservation in which they find themselves. This molinological heritage, once featured a rural society, shows that the grinding in the municipality has undergone several changes throughout the ages, having evolved from a traditional activity for a practice that may be considered as industrial pretreatment before starting to decay. These buildings constitute milestones in landscape nostalgia generators, associated with their abandonment and degradation that require a solution that promotes their sustainable recycling-oriented recovery, taking into account not only the socio-economic conditions, as the local legal framework. Thus, the dissertation intends to be a contribution to the study and reflection on the future of these structures, being presented a proposal for integration of a water mill into a process of urban regeneration, which aims to enhance local heritage, adapting it to the current season with a new use, in order to sensitize the population of the importance of these buildings, concerning cultural and identity context, and their adaptation to a contemporary reality.
