Resumo(s)
Este trabalho questiona a relação da cidade, de origem portuguesa, com o território onde esta se insere. Concretamente a questão singular da ocupação das encostas, ou seja, em topografias acidentadas. Assim, pretende-se estudar estes fenómenos de ruptura urbana e de como a Arquitetura pode ajudar a resolvê-los. Questionam-se os processos de articulação que poderão conectar a cidade alta da cidade baixa através do edificado, com uma forte componente infraestrutural que cria novas mobilidades e percursos.
Localizado na encosta do bairro de Miramar, local que seciona, pela sua morfologia, a cidade baixa da cidade alta. Este território descaracterizado é simultaneamente um elemento de rutura e vazio urbano. À escala da cidade pretende-se intervir através de uma estratégia de articulação entre estes dois territórios para que esta encosta deixe assim de separar a cidade em duas para haver, simplesmente, Luanda.
O projeto surge com base nestas premissas e afirma-se através de um jogo de volumes, cheios e vazios, que acompanham o declive e se adaptam a ele, alojando um programa vasto de usos culturais e de lazer.
Pretende-se não só quebrar barreiras físicas como promover atravessamentos entre cotas distintas. Criando mais-valias, através da implementação de um edifício excecional que atua como charneira, gerando espaço público qualificado, num equilíbrio entre a passagem, a permanência e o usufruto.
ABSTRACT: This final masters project questions the relation between the city of Portuguese origin and the territory/region where it’s inserted, specifically the singular question of the hills/slopes occupation, in other words, rugged topography. The goal is to understand these urban rupture phenomena, and how can Architecture help to solve them. It is also questioned the articulation processes that might connect the uptown and the downtown through the edified, with a strong infrastructural component that develops new routes and mobilities. The investigation focuses on the Miramar slope, in Luanda, an area that divides and splits, due to its morphology, the downtown and uptown areas into two distinct realities. This hill, a decharacterized area and urban rupture element that behaves like an urban void, is the focal point of a city scaled intervention. The intervention centres on the hill itself and on a strategy that connects this new and improved part of the lower city to the higher area. Therefore the city will be united in just one part, instead of two different ones. The project arises based on these premises and states itself as a complex building that creates voids and new pathways strategically located between the different volumes. These volumes are simultaneously a construction that takes advantage of the slope and adapts to it, housing a vast program of cultural and leisure uses. It is intended not only to break the existing physical barriers but also to promote new crossings between distinct elevations. Creating added value through the intervention, which is materialized in an exceptional building that behaves like a joint, creating qualified public space balanced with crossing, permanence and usufruct.
