Resumo
No âmbito do desenvolvimento de um exercício académico, exercício esse que passava pela
realização de um projeto que albergasse as funções de um Lar Residencial, foi necessário fazer a
avaliação da pré-existência, em estado de ruína, que se encontrava no lugar da intervenção.
O terreno em causa, situado junto ao Largo do Actor Dias na cidade do Porto, conservava ainda os
vestígios da existência de três edifícios habitacionais. De forma a dar cumprimento ao mencionado
exercício académico, fez-se a avaliação da ruína, com o objetivo de perceber até que ponto a
mesma detinha valor suficiente à sua preservação, e até mesmo à sua eventual integração no novo
projeto.
Avaliada a pré-existência, não se lhe reconheceu valor suficiente à sua preservação, pelo que a
proposta para o local passou pela demolição da mesma. Contudo, esta não foi uma decisão tomada
de forma despreocupada, pois foram muitas as interrogações e as dúvidas que surgiram, sobre se
a demolição seria o caminho mais acertado para valorizar quer o terreno de intervenção, quer o
quarteirão classificado como Área Histórica pelo Plano Diretor Municipal em vigor na cidade do
Porto, sob o ponto da leitura do conjunto.
O fato destas interrogações e dúvidas, terem surgido durante um exercício académico de quinto
ano, fez com que uma outra preocupação despoletasse interesse em aprofundar esta matéria - a
conclusão do mestrado em arquitetura começava a aproximar-se, pelo que este exercício já
enquanto profissional na área, poderia num futuro próximo assumir-se como uma realidade.
Uma vez que era provável, que estas questões já tivessem sido a preocupação de alguém, iniciouse
a pesquisa de todos os que já se tivessem pronunciado sobre esta problemática. Pelo que
recolher e compilar as suas opiniões e escrever sobre elas, pareceu relevante sob o ponto de vista
de que aumentaria assim a bibliografia disponível sobre a matéria em causa, facilitando cada vez
mais a pesquisa por parte de quem detém iguais dúvidas e procura igualmente respostas.
Analisada a bibliografia encontrada, bem como os casos de estudos escolhidos, através quer da
postura, quer das decisões tomadas pelo seu autor – João Mendes Ribeiro, foi-nos possível concluir
que a chave para o sucesso de um projeto que visa a intervenção numa pré – existência, ainda que
em estado de ruína, passa pela avaliação do lugar, da pré-existência quer sobre o ponto de vista
histórico, quer arquitetónico, quer sob o ponto de vista da memória que aqueles vestígios
representam, e essencialmente pelo bom senso na conjugação de todos estes fatores.
In the scope of the development of a university exercise, exercise this that passed for the accomplishment of a project that lodged the functions of a Residential Home, was necessary to make the evaluation of the daily pre-existence, in ruin state, that if found in the place of the intervention. The land in cause, situated next to the plaza of the Actor Dias in the city of the Port, still conserved the vestiges of the existence of three residential buildings. Of form to give fulfilment to the mentioned university exercise, it became evaluation of the ruin, with the objective to perceive even though until point the same one withheld enough value to is preservation, and to is eventual integration in the new project. Evaluated the daily pre-existence, if it did not recognize it enough value to is preservation, for what the proposal for the place passed for the demolition of the same one. However, this was not a taken decision of easied form, therefore the interrogations had been many and the doubts that had appeared, on if the demolition would be the way more made right to value want the intervention land, want the classified block as Historical Area for the Municipal Managing Plan in adhibition in the city of Porto, under the point of the reading of the set. The fact of these interrogations and doubts, to have appeared during a university exercise of fifth year, made with that one another concern to trigger interest in deepening this substance - the conclusion of the master’s degree in architecture started to come close itself, for what this professional exercise already while in the area, could in a next future be assumed as a reality. Since it was probable that these issues had already been the concern of somebody, the research of all those who had already pronounced on this problem began. In order to gather and compile their opinions and write about them, it seemed relevant from the point of view that it would increase the bibliography available on the subject in question, making research easier for those who have the same doubts and also seeks answers. Analyzing the bibliography found, as well as the case studies chosen, through both the posture and the decisions made by its author - João Mendes Ribeiro, it was possible to conclude that the key to the success of a project that aims at intervention in a pre-existence, even if in a state of ruin, passes through the evaluation of place, of pre-existence either on the historical or architectural point of view, or from the point of view of memory that these vestiges represent, and essentially by common sense in combination of all facts.
