Resumo
A influência da arquitetura portuguesa nas construções da cidade do Lobito foi
concebida durante o período colonial entre os anos 60 e século XX, obra projetada pelo
arquiteto Francisco Castro Rodrigues, o Cine Esplanada Flamingo (1963) - nome que
provém da sua localização - zona antigamente cheia de flamingos, inclusive, o nome foi
escolhido num concurso público de rádio. Famoso pela sua cobertura de betão armado
com duas palas projetadas, cobrindo um enorme vão livre, e suportado por tirantes de
aço que as amarram à estrutura de pilares e vigas inclinadas, situado num recinto
murado retangular, resume os elementos compositivos destes espaços de ver cinema, de
passear, de encontrar amigos, debaixo de um céu de estrelas: poético, plástico e
profundamente adaptado ao clima tropical (Fernandes e Hurst, 2015). Representa assim,
um dos cinemas tropicais que teve influência na arquitetura moderna em Angola
construindo assim a imagem do Lobito como cidade moderna.
A perspetiva deste trabalho propõe incentivar um novo olhar aos edifícios
degradados e abandonados desta cidade tanto quanto repensar nos seus conceitos e
potencializar a zona envolvente, e dar mais vida a cidade do Lobito. Este projeto
importa defender a real preocupação que existe na cidade, com a carência de espaços de
lazer, convivência, e locais próprios de diversão para crianças, jovens e adultos. Por
esse mesmo motivo busca acima de tudo demonstrar a importância da humanização na
paisagem urbana, pelo uso da arte e cultura que é levada e retratada em todos os aspetos
desde a reabilitação de áreas ambientalmente degradadas, a requalificação de zonas
debilitadas. Sobre todos esses aspetos nasce a preocupação, e a necessidade de
implementação de equipamentos públicos urbanos, proporcionando assim segurança e
atividade social das pessoas, tornando a cidade num espaço que proporciona boas
sensações e experiências para quem habita e/ou visita a cidade.
The influence of Portuguese architecture in the buildings of the city of Lobito was conceived during the colonial period between the 60s and the 20th century, a work designed by the architect Francisco Castro Rodrigues, the Cine esplanade Flamingo (1963) - name that comes from its location - an area formerly full of flamingos, the name was chosen in a public radio contest. Famous for its reinforced concrete roof with two projected canopies, covering a huge free span, and supported by steel ties that tie them to the structure of inclined pillars and beams, situated in a rectangular walled enclosure, it summarizes the compositional elements of these spaces for watching movies, for walking, for meeting friends, under a sky of stars: poetic, plastic, and deeply adapted to the tropical climate (Fernandes and Hurst, 2015). Thus, it represents one of the tropical cinemas that influenced modern architecture in Angola, thus building the image of Lobito as a modern city. The perspective of this work proposes to encourage a new look to the degraded and abandoned buildings of this city as much as to rethink their concepts and enhance the surrounding area, and give more life to the city of Lobito. This project aims to defend the real concern that exists in the city, with the lack of spaces for leisure, coexistence, and places of entertainment for children, youth and adults. For this same reason, it seeks above all to demonstrate the importance of humanization in the urban landscape, through the use of art and culture that is carried and portrayed in all aspects from the rehabilitation of environmentally degraded areas, to the requalification of debilitated zones. On all these aspects is born the concern, and the need to implement urban public equipment, thus providing safety and social activity for people, making the city a space that provides good sensations and experiences for those who live and/or visit the city.
