Resumo
Esta dissertação assenta num projeto de preservação/reutilização da fábrica de moagem
“Moinhos de Santa Iria” em Beja, edifício paradigmático de arquitetura industrial desta cidade,
de princípios do século XX, não apenas pela qualidade arquitetónica, como pelas inovações
técnicas e dinamismo sócio-económico que imprimiu à localidade durante o seu período de
laboração, como ainda por ser ponto de referência para a memória local, que hoje se encontra
fortemente ameaçado pelo elevado grau de degradação, correndo o risco de vir a ser demolido.
E porque este edificado se situa, não por acaso, na cidade de Beja, terra de trigo, onde este
cereal teve um papel determinante, nas políticas económicas, na sociedade e cultura ao longo
dos tempos, considerou-se pertinente fazer o respetivo enquadramento geográfico, histórico e
social, bem como uma abordagem das políticas cerealíferas da época, a fim de melhor se poder
compreender o papel dos “Moinhos de Santa Iria” no universo dos polémicos e constantes
conflitos de interesses económicos entre produtores de trigo e industriais moageiros.
Pretende-se por último, provar que é possível salvaguardar este exemplar de património
industrial, marco histórico da economia de uma região e de uma época, dando-lhe uma nova
oportunidade de vida, ao adaptá-lo a novas realidades e a novos usos, permitindo-lhe voltar a
desempenhar um papel dinamizador na economia, na sociedade, e cultura locais, inferindo-se
das vantagens da reabilitação de edifícios industriais não apenas na qualidade de vida das
populações, como no espaço urbano envolvente.
This dissertation is based on a project for the preservation/reuse of the milling plant "Moinhos de Santa Iria" in Beja, a paradigmatic building of industrial architecture within this city from the beginning of the 20th Century, not only for its architectural quality, but also for the technical innovations and socio-economic impact that it granted to the municipality during its operational period, as well as for being a point of reference for the local memory, while today being strongly threatened by the high degree of degradation, running the risk of being demolished. And because this building is located, not by coincidence, in the city of Beja, territory of wheat, where this cereal played a decisive role in economic policies, in society and culture over time, it was considered pertinent to make the corresponding geographical, historical, and social framework, as well as an approach to the cereal policies of the time, in order to better understand the role of "Moinhos de Santa Iria" in the universe of controversial and constant conflicts of economic interests between wheat producers and the milling industry. Lastly, the intent is to prove that it is possible to preserve this example of industrial heritage, a historical landmark of the economy of a region and a time, giving it a new life opportunity, by adapting it to new realities and uses, allowing it to play a dynamic role in the local economy, society, and culture again, inferring from the advantages of rehabilitating industrial buildings not only in the quality of life of the population, but also in the surrounding urban space.
