Abstract(s)
As intervenções de regeneração urbana quando realizadas através da unidade do
quarteirão, tornam-se desafios e oportunidades únicas na preservação da identidade e na
valorização dos recursos históricos. Esta escala de abordagem nas intervenções permite
não só a renovação arquitetónica dos espaços mas também a inclusão de preocupações de
carácter cultural, social, económico e ambiental neste processo, que se considera aqui
enquanto princípios base para um desenvolvimento sustentável.
Esta investigação tem como objetivo aprofundar conhecimentos acerca da ideia de
“quarteirão” e da sua relevância no processo de regeneração urbana no contexto das
recentes transformações urbanas no centro histórico do Porto, e tendo em vista a
necessidade de um desenvolvimento sustentável, salientando a importância do reforço da
identidade como um dos seus principais princípios de atuação. De forma a sustentar o
estudo destas temáticas centradas numa abordagem limitada à área da Zona de
Intervenção Prioritária (ZIP), são analisados dois casos de estudos de intervenções
existentes/a decorrer bem como um terceiro caso desenvolvido no âmbito da presente
dissertação.
Com base na análise dos casos de estudo, da bibliografia e da documentação relativa
ao tema verificou-se que para reforçar a identidade do centro histórico do Porto, a fim de
preservar as suas dinâmicas sociais e culturais, os projetos devem evitar intervenções à
escala do quarteirão, que desrespeitem as características originais dos edifícios tal como
os seus limites. Propõe-se assim o desenvolvimento de uma estratégia de intervenção
global que respeitando a singularidade e os desafios arquitetónicos e socioculturais de
cada parcela e edifício não deixe nunca de perder uma visão mais alargada sobre a
complexidade do território.
Urban regeneration carried out throughout city block´s scale interventions tends to become a good opportunity for the enhancement of its historic and architectonic value and for the preservation of its social and cultural identity. These scale of approach facilitate not only the architectural renovation of the spaces but also the inclusion on the process of several cultural, social, economic and environmental issues that are intended as basic principles for a sustainable development. This research aims to understand the idea of "block" and their relevance in the urban regeneration process within the recent transformations occurred on city centre of Porto, concerning the need for a sustainable development and underlining the importance to reinforce the identity of that space as one of its main values. In order to support this study this research is limited to the area of ZIP (Priority Intervention Zone) where it is analysed two ongoing interventions and one third case study developed by the author on the purpose of this thesis. Based on the analysis of this case studies and on literature review it is concluded that, in order to enhance this historic centre identity and aiming to preserve its social and cultural dynamics, it is recommended that in future projects it should be avoid big scale interventions that unrespect original buildings typologies and that erase original property limits. By the opposite, it should be aspired the development of global intervention strategy supported on a large scale perspective over the territory but respecting the singularity of the architectural and sociocultural challenges of each plot.
