Resumo(s)
A cidade permanece como uma das mais emblemáticas criações humanas, universalmente tida como um paradigma cultural. Após a crise provocada pelo movimento moderno, inúmeros autores procuraram a compreensão do objecto urbano, e sobretudo o entendimento da génese da sua forma. No entanto, esta enquanto resultado de um processo cumulativo em que concorrem inúmeras acções, e acidentes ao longo do tempo, tem um carácter extremamente complexo, dir-se-ia mesmo imperscrutável. Porém é neste processo evolutivo, intrínseco ao objecto urbano, que se encontra a chave para o seu entendimento. Analisando a forma urbana como o resultado de um acto contínuo de construção sobre elementos pré-existentes, aos quais novos elementos se impõem ou adaptam, é hipoteticamente possível através da leitura hermenêutica do tecido urbano recuperar os diferentes momentos da sua evolução e assim compreender a génese da sua forma. Dada a insustentabilidade de c expansão urbana indefinida, a reutilização da cidade existente na nossa contemporaneidade, pressupondo edificações novas de raíz ou a reabilitação de edifícios antigos, com maiores ou menores modificações, exige intervenções informadas e conscientes, sendo que estas assumem cada vez mais uma importância fundamental. Neste contexto a investigação visa, partindo do estudo do tecido contemporâneo, compreender a evolução da forma urbana e assim contribuir para o entendimento da cidade actual assim como para projecção do seu futuro.
The city remains one of the most emblematic human creations, universally regarded as a cultural paradigm. After the crisis caused by the modern movement, many authors sought to understand the urban object, and especially the comprehension of its form genesis. However, the city as a cumulative result of a process in which numerous competing actions, and accidents happen over time, has a highly complex nature, that we might even say unfathomable. However, it’s in this evolutionary, process intrinsic to the urban object, that the key to its understanding lies. Analyzing the urban form as the result of a continuous act of building on pre-existing elements, to which new elements are imposed or adapted, it’s hypothetically possible through the hermeneutic reading of the urban fabric to recover the different moments of its evolution and thus understand the genesis of its form. Given the unsustainability of indefinite urban expansion, the reuse of the existing city in our time, assuming new buildings from scratch or rehabilitating old buildings, with greater or lesser modifications, requires informed and conscious interventions, and these assume an increasingly fundamental importance. In this context, the investigation aims, starting from the study of the contemporary fabric, to understand the evolution of the urban form and thus contribute to the understanding of the current city as well as to the projection of its future.
