Abstract(s)
O Restaurante Panorâmico de Monsanto, situado em Lisboa, foi um produto efémero dos anos 60 que acabou por albergar múltiplas funções, na tentativa de reativar um enorme e isolado espaço. Sessenta anos depois, encontramo-lo vandalizado e em ruína, funcionando apenas como miradouro municipal.
Apesar dos desafios que enfrenta, o edifício tornou-se num dos pontos de atração da cidade. Parte deve-se à pura curiosidade do indivíduo querer experienciar a ruína, mas, é a vista panorâmica sobre a cidade e o rio que seduz e cativa qualquer um.
O encontro deste lugar representa um dos momentos mais significativos no desenvolvimento deste trabalho, pois foi a partir dele que surgiu o fascínio e o respeito por um espaço que continua a existir num tempo que já não é dele.
Num contexto onde os vazios urbanos e os edifícios abandonados estão cada vez mais sob escrutínio e debate, é essencial aprofundar a discussão sobre o que fazer com os mesmos.
Considerando a relação que se estabeleceu com a arte urbana e o seu potencial enquanto local de vistas, propõe-se reativar este espaço como um Centro de Artes e Cultura. Teve-se em consideração a memória do lugar, mas, não obstante, propõe-se uma requalificação do espaço com o intuito de lhe acrescentar valor.
Ambiciona-se, assim, criar um (novo) olhar para a Cidade, que figure um novo centro de promoção de arte e cultura na cidade.
The Panoramic Restaurant of Monsanto, located in Lisbon, was an ephemeral product of the 60’s that ended up hosting various functions in an attempt to revive a huge and isolated space. Sixty years later, it is vandalized and in ruins, functioning only as a viewpoint. Despite the challenges it faces, this building has become one of the city’s attractions. Part of this is due to pure curiosity, as individuals seek to experience the ruins, but it´s mostly its panoramic view over the city and the river that seduces and captivates the visitor. The discovery of this site represents one of the most significant moments in the development of this work, as it was from this point that admiration and respect emerged for a space that still exists in a time no longer its own. In a context where urban voids and abandoned buildings are increasingly under scrutiny and debate, it is essential to deepen the discussion on what to do with them. Considering its connection with urban art and its potential as a viewpoint, the proposal is to reactivate this space as a Center of Arts and Culture. The memory of the place has been taken into account but, nevertheless, the aim is to requalify the space in order to add value to it. The ambition is to create A (new) perspective of the City, establishing a new hub to promote art and culture within the city.
