Abstract(s)
Após o conceito de museu ter sofrido uma revolução, na
década de 70 do século XX, este deixou de remeter para um lugar
conservador e elitista, onde se expunham obras estáticas apenas
para a contemplação das classes altas. Passando a ter uma função
relevante na evolução cultural, social, económica, turística e urbana de
muitas cidades, o museu tornou-se um lugar de ambientes flexíveis, no
qual se exploram novas relações entre o homem e a realidade.
Na cidade de Tomar, localizada no interior do país, com cerca de
19.000 habitantes, encontra-se uma vasta riqueza histórica, cultural,
arqueológica e antropológica. Após algumas peripécias no seu
crescimento, Tomar ganha mais movimento com o desenvolvimento
do turismo. Principalmente conhecida pela ocupação templária, esta
cidade possui indícios de ocupações anteriores de vários povos.
Este trabalho propõe a requalificação de uma área junto ao
rio Nabão, no limiar entre a zona histórica e cidade nova, através da
reabilitação do Convento de Santa Iria, o Antigo Colégio Feminino de
Tomar e o Arco da Freiras que cria uma ligação entre os edifícios.
Após terem acolhido os mais diversos usos possíveis e imagináveis
que contribuíram para a sua descaracterização, estes edifícios
permaneceram ao abandono durante cerca de 30 anos. Este projeto
propõe assim um novo programa museológico, num lugar esquecido
e cheio de história, baseando-se nos ideais da nova museologia. Um
museu da história e arqueologia de Tomar apoiado por espaços de
lazer, exposição e divulgação, que pretende devolver vida a este lugar,
contribuindo para a valorização destes edifícios na paisagem urbana e
ribeirinha da cidade tal como na vida dos seus habitantes e visitantes.
ABSTRACT: After the 1970s, the concept of museum underwent a big revolution - museums were no longer referred to as conservative and elitist places, where static exhibitions were held for the upper classes. Having now a relevant role in the cultural, social, economic, tourist and urban evolution of many cities, museums became a place of flexible environments, where it was possible to explore new relationships between Man and reality. In Tomar, a city of about 19,000 inhabitants located in the interior of Portugal, there is a vast historical, cultural, archaeological and anthropological wealth. After a few troubled years of development, Tomar eventually grew due to the rise of tourism. Mainly known for the Templar occupation, this city has signs of prior occupation by various civilizations. This work proposes a requalification of a specific area near the Nabão river (between the historic center and the new metropolitan area) through the rehabilitation of the Santa Iria’s Convent, the Former Female College, and the Nuns’ Arc, which creates a connection between the two buildings. After this area suffered major change due to being used for varied and diverse purposes that drastically reduced its characterisation, the buildings remained abandoned for about 30 years. This project proposes a new museological program in a forgotten place that is indeed full of history, based on new museology ideals. An archeology history museum of Tomar - supported by leisure, exhibition and dissemination areas - aims to bring back life to this place and add value to these buildings in the urban and riverside landscape of the city, as well as to the lives of its residents and visitors.
