Resumo(s)
Os musseques de Luanda acompanharam o crescimento da cidade, refletindo os vários períodos da sua história e expressando a segregação racial e social desde as primeiras ocupações coloniais até a miragem dos envidraçados contemporâneos em altura. Com a expansão da cidade, os assentamentos autoproduzidos estenderam-se sem monitorização, sofrendo ameaças naturais e carecendo de infraestruturas apesar da sua riqueza cultural. Os seus sinais de precariedade têm constituído preocupação para a gestão da cidade e nos últimos anos diversas entidades e especificamente arquitetos-urbanistas buscam novas abordagens contrariando o paradigma da tabula rasa.
O nível de precariedade elevado das habitações dos musseques, a carência de estudos sobre a habitação e a falta de identidade cultural das construções contemporâneas motivou o interesse pelo modo de habitabilidade nos musseques populares de Luanda. O revisitar de casas levantadas por outros autores, inseridas em contextos diferentes, como o bairro Boa Esperança (a 10Km do centro) e o bairro 11 de Novembro (a 11,6km do centro) e o aprofundamento do estudo de casas do bairro Chicala (inserido no centro), permitiu compreender os anseios e racionalidades das famílias, refletir sobre as diferentes formas de intervir nos musseques e repensar o papel do arquiteto numa sociedade como Luanda que em grande parte autoconstrói os seus bairros e casas.
Os ensaios esboçados no último capítulo têm subjacente as noções abordadas no primeiro, de arquitetura vernacular, processo de urbanização das cidades africanas, da sustentabilidade do habitat e incorporam um olhar antropológico sobre a cultura e práticas no espaço. Esta abordagem confere ao arquiteto um maior poder de escuta dos habitantes e instintivamente uma maior empatia e um mais adequado impacto no local e nos residentes.
The musseques of accompanied the city's growth, reflecting the different seasons of its history and expressing racial and social segregation from the first colonial occupations to the mirage of contemporary high glazing. With the city's expansion, the self-produced settlements spread out wildly, suffering natural threats and lacking infrastructure despite its cultural richness. Its signs of precariousness have been a concern for the city's management, and in recent years, several entities and specifically urban planners have sought new approaches, contradicting the tabula rasa paradigm. The high level of precariousness of the houses in the musseques, the need of studies on housing and the lack of cultural identity of contemporary buildings motivated the interest in the habitability mode in the popular musseques of Luanda. The revisiting houses surveyed by other authors, inserted in different contexts, such as the Boa Esperança neighborhood (10 km from the center) and the 11 de Novembro neighborhood (11.6 km from the center) and the deepening of the study of houses in the Chicala neighborhood ( inserted in the center), allowed us to understand the anxieties and rationalities of families, reflect on the different ways of intervening in the musseques and rethink the role of the architect in a society like Luanda that largely self-builds its neighborhoods and houses. The essays outlined in the last chapter are based on the notions addressed in the first chapter, of vernacular architecture, the urbanization process of African cities, of habitat sustainability, and incorporate an anthropological look at culture and practices in space. This approach gives the architect greater listening power to the inhabitants and instinctively greater empathy and a more appropriate impact on the place and residents.
