Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação parte, através de um enquadramento histórico, do reconhecimento da
preponderância dos edifícios religiosos no desenvolvimento das cidades, particularmente nas ilhas de São
Tomé e Príncipe. Focando-se no contexto particular da cidade de São Tomé que se foi desenvolvendo ao
longo da Baia Ana Chaves, analisa-se como a construção de edifícios religiosos e seus espaços públicos
adjacentes, potenciou de forma determinante a evolução do traçado urbano da Capital. Como parte
integrante desta análise, apresenta-se também a relação inerente destes edifícios, assim como toda a
cidade, com o Mar, característica comum às várias cidades coloniais portuguesas.
A linha mestra de crescimento urbano, que sempre funcionou como elemento unificador dos edifícios
religiosos principais da cidade e símbolo preponderante da relação da cidade com o Mar, é a sua Avenida
Marginal. Atualmente bastante degradada e muito aquém do seu potencial verdadeiro. Portanto em
paralelo à análise referida apresenta-se um projeto de desenvolvimento urbano de toda a Avenida
Marginal, ancorado na reabilitação e redesenho dos espaços públicos adjacentes aos seis edifícios
religiosos que a pontuam. Desta forma, pretende-se através de espaços públicos qualificados e
diferenciados nos seus usos, criar um maior equilíbrio na vivência da cidade, distribuindo-a ao longo de
toda a Baia, em vez da centralizar nas zonas dos mercados, como está atualmente.
De forma a completar esse percurso, restabelecendo parte das antigas romarias da cidade, pretende-se
ainda apresentar um projeto arquitetónico que permita dotar a cidade de um sétimo edifício religioso,
também ele como impulsionador do crescimento urbano na zona norte da Baia. O edifício proposto, tendo
em conta a maioria religiosa são-tomense, será uma igreja católica, procurando ser um local de encontro
social e espiritual, que vá de encontro a expectava dos fiéis. O edifício e o seu espaço envolvente terão
como desafio, respeitando a tradição católica e cultura africana, conseguir de forma contemporânea
enquadrar-se dentro da linha dos seis edifícios religiosos já referidos. Este deve funcionar como parte
integrante do percurso da marginal e não como elemento de exceção, de forma a criar relações dinâmicas
e fluídas em vez de um percurso de sentido único.
ABSTRACT: The present dissertation starts with a historical framework, recognizing the preponderance of religious buildings in the development of cities, particularly in the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe. Focusing on the particular context of the city of São Tomé that has been developed along the Ana Chaves Bay, it is analyzed how the construction of religious buildings and their adjacent public spaces, potentiated in a decisive way the evolution of the urban layout of the Capital. As an integral part of this analysis, the inherent relation of these buildings, as well as the whole city, with the Sea, characteristic common to the several Portuguese colonial cities, is also presented. The main line of urban growth, which has always functioned as unifying element of the city's main religious buildings and a preponderant symbol of the city's relationship with the Sea, is its Marginal Avenue. Currently very degraded and far below its true potential. Therefore, in parallel to the analysis referred to above, there is an urban development project of the entire Avenida Marginal, anchored in the rehabilitation and redesign of the public spaces adjacent to the six religious buildings that punctuate it. In this way, it is intended through public spaces qualified and differentiated in their uses, to create a greater balance in the experience of the city, distributing it throughout bay, instead of centralizing in the zones of the markets, as it is currently. In order to complete this route, restoring part of the ancient pilgrimages of the city, it is also intended to present an architectural project that allows to endow the city with a seventh religious building, also it as a driver of urban growth in the northern part of the bay. The proposed building, taking into account the religious majority of Sao Tome, will be a Catholic church, seeking to be a place of social and spiritual encounter, which meets the expectations of the faithful. The building and its surrounding space will have as challenge, respecting the catholic tradition and African culture, to achieve in a contemporary way to fit within the line of the six religious buildings already mentioned. This should work as an integral part of the path of the marginal and not as an element of exception in order to create dynamic and fluid relations rather than a one-way path.2
