Abstract(s)
Durante muitos anos uma grande extensão de áreas verdes foi a imagem do Vale de Alcântara,
onde o leito de água cristalina e as margens verdejantes outrora serviam de ponto de
encontro e incitavam atividades que acentuavam as relações de vizinhança e de pertença.
Contudo, este cenário acabou por ser substituído por uma nova realidade infraestruturada,
cuja construção veio levantar problemas tanto urbanos como sociais, que ainda hoje se fazem
sentir.
Através da regeneração e requalificação de uma extensão de 4km do Vale, pretende-se
revitalizar este lugar atualmente menosprezado e encarado como não potência, revertendo
toda a massa construtiva que se encontra fragmentada e sem ligações, devolvendo a sua
forma natural.
Revela-se fundamental estabelecer um equilibro entre a encosta, onde predominará a construção
em baixa altura e alta densidade, e a zona mais baixa, onde se evidencia um caráter
mais natural em torno de uma linha de água. A intenção da proposta é que estas áreas se
correlacionem dando origem a uma nova frente conexa e onde se estabeleça um sentido de
pertença entre ambas as partes.
Por fim, através do redesenho do Vale, espera-se que esta proposta seja capaz de atender
às necessidades do contexto atual e das exigências morfológicas do lugar, integrando a
essência e a naturalidade daquilo que já foi. Ainda, objetiva-se devolver os laços que foram
desconectados entre o meio e as pessoas, tornando-se novamente num ponto de encontro,
um polo atrativo de vivências na cidade.
For many years, a large expanse of green areas was the image of the Vale de Alcântara, where the crystal-clear water bed and verdant banks once served as a meeting point and encouraged activities that accentuated relationships of neighborhood and belonging. However, this scenario ended up being replaced by a new infrastructure reality, whose construction raised both urban and social problems, which are still felt today. Through the regeneration and requalification of a 4km stretch of the Valley, the aim is to revitalize this place that is currently undervalued and seen as a non-power, reversing the entire construction mass that is fragmented and unconnected, returning it to its natural form. It is essential to establish a balance between the slope, where low-rise and high-density construction will predominate, and the lower area, where a more natural character is evident around a water line. The intention of the proposal is for these areas to correlate, giving rise to a new connected front where a sense of belonging is established between both parties. Finally, through the redesign of the Valley, it is expected that this proposal will be able to meet the needs of the current context and the morphological requirements of the place, integrating the essence and naturalness of what it once was. Furthermore, the aim is to restore the ties that were disconnected between the environment and people, once again becoming a meeting point, an attractive hub for experiences in the city.
