O presente Projeto Final de Mestrado surge como resposta a um cenário complexo e multifacetado que afeta Portugal, sendo este a interligação entre a crise habitacional, a negligência perante as áreas rurais do interior e a necessidade de “sustentabilizar” a indústria da Arquitetura no país. O estudo destaca, deste modo, a incerteza económica que afeta a atual população portuguesa e explora como a vertente sustentável da Arquitetura pode oferecer uma solução viável ao desafio contemporâneo identificado, ou seja, à conceção de um projeto habitacional, de cariz autónomo e considerativo da respetiva situação económica.
A falta de habitação acessível, um dos preocupantes fatores que caracteriza a crise habitacional em Portugal, trata-se do problema em destaque ao logo do estudo, visto que afeta consideravelmente, e quase totalmente, a população. Este cenário é, por sua vez, exacerbado pela inflação persistente, que reduz o poder de compra dos cidadãos, tal como, paralelamente, as políticas governamentais que embora bem intencionadas têm demonstrado ineficácia na resolução desta crise crescente.
O interior rural português, bastante negligenciado, é por sua vez identificado como um local estratégico para a implementação do projeto pois, para além de bastante necessitado, possui o potencial para a implementação de projetos que procurem a redução da pegada carbónica e a promoção da independência energética isto, estimulando sempre o desenvolvimento do interior tal como contribuindo para a revitalização das áreas rurais subutilizadas.
Tendo isto em conta, a vertente sustentável da Arquitetura emerge como uma possível resposta a esta complexa equação pois, ao contrário do que a indústria Portuguesa se encontra acostumada a fazer, isto é, dar prioridade aos tipos de construção que possuam um menor custo inicial ignorando os futuros custos de manutenção e respetivos impactos ambientais, argumenta-se que as construções sustentáveis não apenas contribuam para a preservação ambiental como também possam ser economicamente vantajosas quando consideradas a longo prazo. Esta perspetiva transcende, deste modo, a mera solução habitacional pois incorpora uma resposta abrangente às preocupações ambientais e políticas, adotando princípios da sustentabilidade e tornando-se um modelo de respeito pelo ambiente, isto enquanto atende às necessidades habitacionais dos cidadãos.
Esta abordagem não só descongestiona as áreas metropolitanas saturadas, como promove um desenvolvimento territorial mais equitativo, estimulando o crescimento económico e a resiliência das comunidades rurais. Em última análise, destaca o potencial transformador da Arquitetura Sustentável como um catalisador para um Portugal mais inclusivo, considerativo e resiliente.
The present Master’s Final Project emerges in response to a complex and multifaceted scenario affecting Portugal. This scenario involves the interconnection between the housing crisis neglect towards rural areas in the interior, and the need to “sustain” the Architecture industry in the country. The study thus emphasizes the economic uncertainty affecting the current Portuguese population and explores how the sustainable aspect of Architecture can provide a viable solution to the identified contemporary challenge, namely, the design of a housing project that is autonomous and considers the respective economic situation. The lack of affordable housing, one of the concerning factors characterizing the housing crisis in Portugal, is the highlighted problem throughout the study, significantly and almost entirely affecting the population. This scenario is further exacerbated by persisted inflation, which reduces the purchasing power of citizens, as well as government policies that, despite well intentioned, have proven ineffective in resolving this growing crisis. The often neglected rural interior of Portugal is identified as a strategic location for project implementation because, in addition to being in great need, it has the potential for projects aimed at reducing carbon footprint and promoting energy independence. This, in turn, simulates the development of the interior while contributing to the revitalization of underutilized rural areas. Taking this into account, the sustainable aspect of Architecture emerges as a possible response to this complex equation. Unlike the usual practice in the Portuguese industry, which prioritizes construction types with lower initial costs, disregarding future maintenance costs and environmental impacts, it is argued that sustainable constructions not only contribute to environmental preservation but can also be economically advantageous when considered in the long term. This perspective goes beyond mere housing solution, incorporating a comprehensive response to environmental and political concerns by adopting sustainability principles and becoming a model of environmental respect while addressing the housing needs of citizens. This approach not only relieves congested metropolitan areas but also promotes more equitable territorial development, stimulating economic growth and resilience in rural communities. In conclusion, this work highlights the transformative potential of Sustainable Architecture as a catalyst for a more inclusive, considerative and resilient Portugal.
