Resumo(s)
Este Trabalho Final de Mestrado (TFM) propõe uma leitura crítica e conceptual da frente ribeirinha e atlântica entre Algés e a Cruz Quebrada, tomando a água como matéria simbólica e estruturante da memória coletiva urbana. Desenvolvido no âmbito do Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, no contexto do tema “Jangada de Pedra”, lançado pelo Professor Jorge Mealha no ano letivo de 2023/24, o trabalho resulta de um exercício que procurou reconfigurar o território ribeirinho através da conceção de um novo aterro multifuncional. A peça central da proposta consiste num edifício de banhos públicos que articula referências clássicas às termas com uma abordagem contemporânea, sensorial e territorial. A investigação assenta numa metodologia que conjuga a observação crítica do lugar, uma reflexão teórica e o projeto de arquitetura, permitindo compreender o espaço enquanto fenómeno cultural. As principais ações incluem o reposicionamento da marginal e a criação de plataformas de uso público, aproximando novamente o corpo urbano do Tejo. O edifício termal, ao inscrever-se neste contexto, ativa um percurso de rememoração corporal, atmosférica e material, devolvendo à água o seu papel mediador na construção de identidades. O trabalho permite demonstrar que a arquitetura pode operar enquanto gesto de reinscrição simbólica do território, articulando práticas sensíveis, programas coletivos e atmosferas de pertença.
This Master’s Final Project (TFM) proposes a critical and conceptual reading of the riverside and Atlantic waterfront between Algés and Cruz Quebrada, taking water as a symbolic and structuring element of collective urban memory. Developed within the framework of the Integrated Master’s in Architecture, and in the context of the theme “Jangada de Pedra”, launched by Professor Jorge Mealha in the academic year 2023/24, this work results from an exercise aimed at reconfiguring the riverfront territory through the design of a new multifunctional landfill. The central element of the proposal consists of a public baths building that articulates classical references to Roman thermae with a contemporary, sensorial, and territorial approach. The research is based on a methodology that combines critical site observation, theoretical reflection, and architectural design, allowing the space to be understood as a cultural phenomenon. The main actions include the repositioning of the Marginal road and the creation of public-use platforms, once again bringing the urban body closer to the River Tagus. The thermal building, embedded in this context, activates a journey of bodily, atmospheric, and material remembrance, restoring to water its mediating role in the construction of identities. This work demonstrates that architecture can operate as a gesture of symbolic reinscription of the territory, articulating sensitive practices, collective programs, and atmospheres of belonging.
