Abstract(s)
O “Grande Hotel” da Beira, Moçambique, abre portas em 1955 como a
maior e mais luxuosa estrutura turística do continente africano.
Contudo, em 1963 foi encerrado e deixado ao abandono. Durante a
guerra civil, muitos refugiados encontraram abrigo nas ruínas deste
hotel e, com o passar dos anos, diversas famílias carenciadas foram
também ocupando este espaço.
Atualmente, cerca de 4.000 pessoas residem permanentemente nestas
ruínas, agora sem eletricidade, água ou saneamento. Todos os espaços
foram ocupados e adaptados para abrigar estas famílias. As condições
de higiene e segurança são poucas ou inexistentes, as varandas e
escadas já não têm qualquer tipo de guarda ou proteção.
Face a esta triste realidade, propõe-se como PFM redesenhar esta
estrutura para que esta possa voltar a ganhar vida, transformando-a
num edifício integrante para toda a comunidade
beirense/moçambicana, para usufruto de todos, tentando ao mesmo
tempo não esquecer o seu valor histórico e cultural. Com esta finalidade,
dá-se uma nova funcionalidade ao edifício - o Centro Cultural Expositivo
e Interpretativo de Moçambique (CCEIM).
The "Grande Hotel" in Beira, Mozambique, opened its doors in 1955 as the largest and most luxurious tourist structure on the African continent. However, in 1963, it was closed and left to abandonment. During the civil war, many refugees found shelter in this hotel ruins and, over the years, several needy families also occupied this space. Currently, around 4,000 people inhabit permanently in these ruins, with no electricity, water or sanitation. All spaces were occupied and adapted to shelter these families. Hygiene and safety conditions are few or non-existent, the balconies and stairs no longer have any kind of rail guard or protection. Considering this sad reality, this PFM proposes to redesign this structure so that it may regain life, transforming it into an integral building for the entire Beira/Mozambican community, for the usufruct of all, while trying not to forget its historical and cultural value. With this purpose, a new functionality is given to this building – the Cultural Exhibition and Interpretation Center of Mozambique (Centro Cultural Expositivo e Interpretativo de Moçambique, CCEIM).
