Abstract(s)
Limite sul ao casario com que se desenha a povoação de Venda-Seca,
lugar de Belas, a Quinta das Águas Férreas distende-se nos seus quinze hectares
verdejantes como uma promessa fecunda entre traços eruditos e vernaculares,
sintetizada nos contornos de uma adaptação da Casa Portuguesa de Raul Lino.
Apesar da sua interessante singularidade e do seu potencial poético que
testemunha um passado sustentado por águas de nobres propriedades, refletidas
em coloridas pedrarias de origens setecentistas, a Quinta permanece, há cerca de
duas décadas, numa situação de abandono que potencia a sua degradação e a vota
alheia ao conhecimento geral.
Com o presente trabalho, pretende-se a exposição e investigação de um caso que,
entre muitos daqueles que tomam lugar nos perímetros suburbanos das grandes
cidades — e que por isso são muitas vezes desvalorizados —, merece
consideração pelo património, natural e edificado, da memória coletiva que
reúne. Mas procura-se, igualmente, contribuir para a reflexão acerca do
reconhecimento do conteúdo específico de cada lugar como modo de
compreender a sua correspondência com o habitar humano e, assim, sustentar
uma intervenção que preserve (e realce) essa identidade singular.
É deste entendimento que se norteia o percurso tomado ao longo da investigação
desenvolvida para a Quinta das Águas Férreas. Partindo da experiência presencial
do lugar, delineou-se uma abordagem onde a leitura da história, da forma e do
sentido — como componentes cruciais ao (re)conhecimento de um espaço onde
se pretende intervir arquitetonicamente — convergem para uma das várias
possibilidades de interpretação dos pressupostos encontrados ao longo do
processo, materializada no projeto de reabilitação.
ABSTRACT: South boundary to the houses that settle Venda-Seca povoation, place of Belas, Quinta das Águas Férreas broadens itself through the greenery of fifteen hectares as a fruitful promise between high style and folk style traits, synthesised in an adaptation of Raul Lino's thinking about the portuguese houses. Besides its interesting uniqueness and its poetic potential — witness of a past where wealthy waters and eighteen century's stone embroidery works took place — this villa remains in a situation of abandonment since nearly two decades now, which intensifies its degradation state and the general unawareness by people. It is this essay's aim to expose and look into a case that, between many of those placed in the major cities' suburban area — and which, because of that, are often undervalued — deserves consideration on account of its natural and built heritage, a gathering of collective memory. It is also an aim of this paper to contribute to the discussion about the specific content of each place as a mean of understanding its correspondence to the human dwelling and, as such, to support an architectural intervention that preserves (and enhances) that unique identity. It is from this understanding that the path taken along this investigation about Quinta das Águas Férreas is developed. Going from on-site experience, an approach was designed where historical, formal and significance analyses — as crucial acknowledgement components of a space where an architectural intervention is intented to happen — converge towards one of the several possibilities of interpretating the conditions found along the process, which becomes materialized in the rehabilitation project.
