Full textAbstract:
Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1991.Includes bibliographical references (p. 112-114).
The primary intention of this thesis is to explore the tectonic qualities of light throughCthe design of a building. In addition to addressing some of the more general questions concerning light raised in the design process, the design attempts to demonstrate how light can define a multiplicity of places and generate the physical architectural order of a building. The investigation of light is conducted through studies with the various physical and spatial components of the building. The primary goal of these explorations with light is to enrich a personal understanding of light in architectural terms for the purpose of design. In addition, the program of a drug rehabilitation center examines how the intangible qualities of light in a building can serve to inspire and contribute to the process of healing physically as well as emotionally. The significance of the program ensures that the studies with light are not just generic and formal, but recognizes that any formal understanding of light must be applied to broader ends in order for it to be meaningful. The thesis itself is organized in five chapters: -- Chapter One introduces the basic questions regarding light which prompted this design investigation. It specifies the intention and the scope of this thesis and discusses the method of the investigation. -- Chapter Two describes the context of the design. It reveals why an urban rehabilitation center was chosen for the design and points out the role of the program in the explorations with light. There is also a description of the site and a discussion of some of the most important advocacies which operated throughout the design process. -- Chapter Three presents the design through plans, sections, and vignettes of the building as a "Journey of Light." -- Chapter Four is a collection of some of the studies conducted during the design process. These studies are grouped under two sections. The first group includes the more analytically oriented studies which are based on observations connected to the city, the site and the room. The second section consists of the qualitative explorations with light and a list of the questions regarding light which these studies attempt to address. The latter group of studies are organized in terms of the volume, wall and frame of the building. -- Chapter Five summarizes the the most important lessons gained from this study and offers an assessment of the value of this investigation.

Full textAbstract:
With the development of the concept of disability and consequently rehabilitation concept, today’
s achievements of rehabilitation centers are perceived different from the traditional ones. Conventional approach of rehabilitation was aiming at improving functional deficiencies of people with disabilities with the help of medical treatment. Within the last two decades depending upon the increasing in the awareness of idea of inclusivity in society there has been developed a shift from traditional medical based approach to more social based ones where rehabilitation has been perceived as a process to enhance the &

quality of life&
#8217
rather than a process of a medical curation of people with diverse disabilities. The new social-based rehabilitation approach refers community based rehabilitation strategy that aims to integrate various sectors of social life for the achievement of an effective rehabilitation while promoting inclusion of people with less or severe disabilities in social life. It is stated in this thesis that the architectural program of a community-based rehabilitation centers can be elaborated with the parameters of Universal Design (UD) which not only responds to the shift in community-based rehabilitation approach while promoting inclusion in the society, but also has a potential to advance spacial formative characteristics of related centers in a more descriptive way. The ideas of equity and participation are the significant parameters of UD that are referred in the thesis in order to elaborate the supportive social services of an architectural program and to investigate spatial characteristics of community-based rehabilitation centers.

Os centros urbanos consolidados das metrópoles, em geral, abrigam edificações carregadas de símbolos e significados que configuram a memória coletiva e a identidade dos cidadãos, além de expressarem organizações sociais, econômicas, políticas e culturais. Estes centros urbanos abrigam uma crescente concentração de comércios, serviços e finanças, infraestrutura consolidada e garantia de acesso ao transporte coletivo, em detrimento da função residencial e/ou precariedade habitacional, além de contar com a presença de inúmeros imóveis vazios e/ou subutilizados, os quais têm sido alvo de programas e projetos de intervenção pública nas últimas décadas. O método dialógico tem levado a compreensão e avaliação da arquitetura numa relação cronotópica do texto (objeto de estudo) com seu contexto, nas dimensões tempo-espaço ricoeuriana e articuladas com as três dimensões dialógicas da vida humana (estética, ética e ciência). A Prefeitura de São Paulo (Brasil), nas gestões 2001 a 2004 e 2005 a 2008, através do Programa de Arrendamento Residencial (PAR) reabilitou alguns edifícios na ambiência do centro histórico para habitação de interesse social (HIS) e, dentre esses, está o Edifício Maria Paula. Em Roma (Itália), a Prefeitura, desde 2000, através do Programmi di Recupero Urbano (PRU) requalificou áreas degradadas e reabilitou edifícios para habitação social e, dentre esses, está o Conjunto Residencial San Basilio. Diante dos fatos aludidos, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo avaliar os programas e projetos públicos de habitação social em centros urbanos consolidados: Programa de Arrendamento Residencial em São Paulo, Brasil e o Programmi di Recupero Urbano em Roma, Itália, através dos estudos de caso: Edifício Maria Paula e Conjunto Residencial San Basilio, respectivamente. Metodologia: compreende cinco etapas. A primeira, a abordagem teórica sobre a ambiência do centro histórico e o centro urbano consolidado, arquitetura, habitação, texto, contexto e dialogia. A segunda, o método arquitetura dialógica, com base na fundamentação teórica e filosófica de Bakhtin, Ricoeur e Muntañola, que se inicia pela compreensão do texto arquitetônico, a construção original (configuração), a degradação física do edifício, o projeto de reabilitação (reprefiguração), a construção reabilitada (reconfiguração) e o uso social da habitação (re-refiguração). A terceira, o Programmi di Recupero Urbano (PRU): Conjunto Residencial San Basilio, em Roma - Itália. A quarta, o Programa de Arrendamento Residencial (PAR): Edifício Maria Paula, em São Paulo - Brasil. A quinta, a análise comparativa do PAR: Edifício Maria Paula, em São Paulo e o PRU: Conjunto Residencial San Basilio, em Roma. Resultados: contribuir com estudos sobre habitação social em centros urbanos consolidados; contribuir com estudos sobre arquitetura dialógica e subsidiar, através deste estudo, programas e projetos públicos de habitação social no Brasil.
The consolidated urban centers of the metropolis areas, in general, house loaded buildings symbols and meanings that shape the collective memory and identity of citizens, in addition to express social, economic, political and cultural organizations. These urban centers are home to a growing concentration of trade, services and finance, consolidated infrastructure and ensuring access to public transport, to the detriment of the residential function and / or housing precariousness, in addition to the presence of numerous voids and / or underutilized properties, which have been the target of programs and public intervention projects in recent decades. The dialogical method has led to the understanding and evaluation of architecture in a chronotopic relation text (object of study) with its context, the Ricoeur’s dimensions space-time and articulated with the three dialogical dimensions of human life (esthetics, ethics and science). The City of São Paulo (Brazil), on the managements of 2001-2004 and 2005-2008, through the Residential Leasing Program (PAR), rehabilitated some buildings in the ambience of the historic center for social housing (HIS) and, among these, is Maria Paula building. Rome (Italy), the City since 2000 through Programmi di Recupero Urbano (PRU) reclassified degraded areas and rehabilitated buildings for social housing and, among these, is the Residential San Basilio. Faced with the facts alluded, this research aims to evaluate the programs and public projects of social housing in urban consolidated centers: Residential Leasing Program in São Paulo, Brazil and Programmi di Recupero Urbano in Rome, Italy, through the case studies: Maria Paula building and Residential San Basilio, respectively. Methodology: comprises five stages. The first, theoretical approach to the ambience of the historic center and the consolidated urban center, architecture, housing, text, context and dialogy. The second, the dialogic architecture method, based on philosophical and theoretical background of Bakhtin, Ricoeur and Muntañola which starts by understanding the architectural text, the original construction (setting), the physical deterioration of the building, the rehabilitation project (reprefiguration), the rehabilitated building (reconfiguration) and the social use of the dwelling (re-refiguration). The third, the Programmi di Recupero Urbano (PRU): The building San Basilio in Rome - Italy. The fourth, the Residential Leasing Program (PAR): Building Maria Paula in São Paulo - Brazil. The fifth, comparative analysis of the PAR: Building Maria Paula in São Paulo and the PRU: Building San Basilio, in Rome. Results: contribute to studies on social housing in consolidated urban centers; contribute to studies on dialogic architecture and subsidize, through this study, public programs and projects of social housing in Brazil.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis puts forward the problematic situation in the very urban center of Ankara with an
analytical method to investigate the roots of several problems. Building its argument on historical
facts, in depth observations, and political, social, and urban analysis, it proposes a rational basis
for the rehabilitation of 19 Mayis Sports District, mainly focusing on the means of elevating the
physical quality through the capacity of social inclusion concerning the sports activity settings
and places in the region. All in all, the basic argument stands on the belief that the spatial basis of
the 19 Mayis Sports District and the neighboring urban tissue around it might be re-defined and
rehabilitated, if only its historical, political, ideological, and socio-cultural bases are redefined.
Therefore, the study searches for rehabilitation of the 19 Mayis Sports District in Ulus, Ankara,
by adapting and integrating sports with other cultural collective practices, and defining it as an
alternative life-style for citizens. Because the district lays on the second division of Atatürk Culture Center Region, a sports culture and its policy should be defined and designed for to amend that division of the region by preparing a principal master plan for the region and for the division.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, com a especialização em Arquitetura apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre.Este trabalho enquadra-se nas recentes reflexões sobre os valores do património industrial e justifica-se como forma de testar as metodologias mais adequadas à reabilitação arquitetónica, dando satisfação às reais necessidades sociais das comunidades locais. A partir da análise do Vale de Chelas, identificam-se as suas carências urbanísticas, arquitetónicas e sociais, e analisa-se o estado de conservação da antiga fábrica Tinturaria Portugália, assim como os seus limites ainda íntegros para uma reabilitação arquitetónica. Com as informações recolhidas e o seu respetivo estudo, foi então proposto um novo uso para esta unidade fabril - Centro Comunitário Intergeracional, com o propósito de atender às necessidades sociais do local, fazendo com que a comunidade se identifique novamente com a fábrica e com a sua história. No edifício a intervenção de reabilitação arquitetónica teve por objetivo ser o menos intrusivo possível. Urbanisticamente, houve o cuidado de valorizar o enquadramento urbano, sendo proposta uma requalificação urbana da envolvente mais próxima, evidenciando sempre o edifício em estudo. Mais importante do que a concretização em projeto, dos principais objetivos traçados ao longo do estudo, foi a experimentação de uma metodologia adequada à reabilitação arquitetónica de antigas unidades industriais.
ABSTRACT: This work is based on recent perceptions about the values of industrial heritage and it is justified as a way of testing the most appropriate methodologies for architectural rehabilitation, giving satisfaction to the real social needs of local communities The Chelas Valley it’s foremost characterized identifying it’s urbanistics, architectural and social needs. It’s also analyzed the state of conservation of the former factory Tinturaria Portugália and what are his limits for an architectural rehabilitation. With the information collected and respective study, a new use was then proposed for the manufacturing unit: an Intergenerational Community Center. In order to meet the social needs of the location, making the community identify itself again with the factory and it’s history. The aim of the architectural rehabilitation intervention was to be as non-intrusive as possible, where care was taken to value its history. To improve the result, it’s also proposed an urban requalification of the nearest surroundings, always emphasizing the building under study. More important than the realization of the main objectives in the project, was the investigation of a suitable methodology for the architectural rehabilitation of old industrial units.

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Problem Statement: From a sustainability point of view, hospitals offer their services without taking into consideration their impact on the environment, the interplay between various sectors, key elements of sustainable development and interconnectedness. This study represents an attempt to design a “virtual” green hospital facility that does more with fewer resources. Aims and Objectives: Contribute towards achieving sustainable and better quality healthcare services. To generate evidence and increase our understanding of the sustainability of hospital resource flows. Design a “virtual” green hospital. Research Method: The research approach consists of a comprehensive literature review, mixed with substantiated field research and interviews. The literature review provided an understanding, recommendations and interventions for the virtual project. These can be used to promote greater sustainability through WCRC’s healthcare system, energy efficiency and green hospital buildings. Interviews and questionnaires were used to collect the qualitative data. The interpretive technique was used to analyse the collected data. Consumption statistics of electricity, water and waste were used to collect the quantitative data. It was analysed using the green building rating tool. The rating tool awards points according to incorporated measures, and arrives at a total score after appropriate weighting. The green building rating tool was used to establish the rating of WCRC as it stands and what it could ideally be as a retrofit? The data was presented as demographic information in tables, charts and graphs, drawn from the collected data. Findings: The findings that emerged suggest that: a) green hospital buildings promote greater sustainability than the current modern healthcare hospital buildings at WCRC and retrofitting would promote greater sustainability; b) the majority of WCRC’s current healthcare provision is done in the conventional ‘business as usual approach’; c) the greatest weaknesses of the hospital is its heavy dependence (95% average) on nonrenewable energy sources of fuel, electricity and water; d) procurement isn’t focused in the bio-region; e) sustainability isn’t viewed as the cornerstone to influence policy; and f) the flow of resources gets conducted through socio-economic systems. Conclusion: The current design of the hospital needs to be retrofitted into a green building, which will promote greater sustainability. A higher rated green star building for WCRC would promote greater sustainability. Healthcare provision is done in the conventional ‘business as usual approach’. Therefore the healthcare system faces threats in the immediate future, which include the impact of climate change, over dependency on fossil fuels and increasing urban sprawl. A virtual green hospital is designed to reduce the overall impact of its built environment on human health and the natural environment by: • Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources; • Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity; • Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation. Recommendations: In this sustainability criterion, a paradigm shift is required for WCRC hospital to go green and become sustainable. At a local scale WCRC needs to green the current hospital building by retrofitting. WCRC needs to energy switch from nonrenewables to sustainable renewable resources. Bioregional consumption and procurement needs to be practiced whilst establishing a local health movement to engage suppliers and focus on sustainability.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Probleem stelling: Gesien van volhoubaarheids oogpunt, bied hospitale dienste aan sonder om te besin oor die impak op die omgeweing, die tussenspel tussen verskeie sektore, sleautel elemente van volhoubare ontwikkeling en die onderlinge aanknopings. Hierdie studie verteenwoordig ‘n poging om ‘n skyn groen hospitaal te ontwerp wat meer kan doen met minder hulpbronne. Oogmerk en Doelstellings: Om ‘n bydrae te lewer om ‘n volhoubare en beter kwaliteit gesondheidsdiens te bereik. Om bewyse te genereer en begrip aangaande die volhoubaarheid van hospitaal bronne vloei to verhoog/ Ontwerp van ‘n “skyn” groen hospitaal. Ondersoek Metode: Die benadering in die ondersoek bestaan uit ‘n omvattende literatuurstudie met ondersteunbare veld ondersoeke en onderhoude. Die literatuurstudie voorsien in die begrip, aanbevelings en tussentredes vir die skyn projek. Dit kan gebruik word om groter volhoubaarheid van die WKRS se gesondheidsisteem, energie effektiwiteit en groen hospitale te bevorder. Kwalitatiewe data was ingewin met behulp van onderhoude en vraelyste. Interpretasie was die tegniek wat gebruik was om data te analiseer. Verbruikstatistiek van elektrisiteit, water en afval was gebruik on kwantitatiewe data te kollekteer. Die analise daarvan was gedoen deur die gebruik van die groen gebou graderingsinstrument. Die graderingsinstrument ken punte toe volgens opgeneemde maatreëls en bepaal die finale gradering na gepaste afwegings. Die instrument was gebruik om die gradering van WKRS te bepaal soos dit is en wat die ideale terugbou sou wees. Die data word in tabelle en grafieke voorgelê soos wat dit verkry was van die gekollekteerde data. Bevindinge: Die bevindinge wat na vore gekom het dui aan dat: Groen hospitaal geboue bevorder groter volhoubaarheid dan die huidige moderne hospitaal geboue van WKRS en terugbouing sal groter volhoubaarheid bevorder. Die meerderheid van gesondheidsdiensvoorsiening deur WKRS geskied volgense die konvensionele benadering van “besigheid soos normal” Die grootste swakheid van die hospitaal is die swaar afhanklikheid van die hospitaal op nie-hernubare energie (95%) soos brandstof, elektrisiteit en water, Verkryging is nie gefokus op die bio-streek nie, Volhoubaarheid word nie beskou as die hoeksteen om belied te beinvloed nie en Die vloei van hulpbronne word herlei deur sosio-ekonomies sisteme. Sluiting: Die huidige ontwerp van die hospitaal moet terugverbou word na ‘n groen gebou wat groter volhoubaarheid sal bevorder. ‘n Hoër groenster bougradering vir WKRS sal groter volhoubaarheid bevorder. Voorsiening van gesondheidsdienste volgens die “besigheid soos normaal” benadering veroorsaak dat die gesondheids-sisteem bedreigiongs in die gesig staar soos die impak van klimaatsverandering, oorafhanklikheid van fosiel energie en verhoodge stadspreiding. Aanbevelings: Volgens die kriteria is ‘n paradigma verskuiwing nodig by WKRS om groen en volhoubaar te raak. Op ‘n plaaslike skaal is dit nodig vir WKRS om die huidige hospitaal terug te bou om groen te raak. Dit is nodig om energie veranderings te ondergaan van nie hernubare tot volhoubare, hernubare energie bronne. Die Biostreek verbruiking en verkryging moet gepraktiseer word terwyl plaaslike gesondheidsbewegings gevestig word om te onderhandel met verskaffers en te fokus op volhoubaarheid.

Dissertação para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Arquitectura com especialização em Arquitectura de Interiores, apresentada na Universidade de Lisboa - Faculdade de Arquitectura.A investigação presente incide sobre a temática de Projectar com Luz, Cor e Matéria no âmbito da reabilitação arquitectónica considerando-os como elementos indispensáveis ao pensamento arquitectónico. A componente teórica incide sobre a contextualização dos conceitos fundamentais referindo a importância da reabilitação arquitectónica em edifícios pombalinos e gaioleiros e da necessidade de compreender e utilizar a luz, cor e matéria como elementos fundamentais na influência da percepção do espaço. A vertente prática utiliza o enquadramento teórico produzido, aplicando-os sob uma proposta de intervenção arquitectónica num edifício hoje devoluto. Este edifício, localizado na Rua do Alecrim nº 22, junto ao Cais-do-Sodré em Lisboa, é de implantação urbana única com entradas desniveladas por três arruamentos. A proposta baseia-se num programa de readaptação a usos contemporâneos, promovendo as estratégias da reabilitação arquitectónica, assentando nas caracteristicas comuns e relevantes presentes nos edificios gaioleiros. Propõe-se como programa um Centro de Artes Multi-Funcional, que integra múltiplos serviços dirigidos para a cultura e artes. É também destinado a jovens profissionais nacionais e estrangeiros, permitindo a troca de ideias, de informação e ao mesmo tempo a integração de diferentes culturas. Para o Centro de Artes propõem-se espaços de trabalho, residências temporárias e salas polivalentes, diginificando as potencialidades arquitectónicas e urbanas do edifício. Propõem-se também espaços de interacção directa com a população como uma cafetaria, que é acedida directamente pela Rua do Alecrim, serviços no Piso 0 em contacto com as ruas Nova do Carvalho e São Paulo traduzidos por espaços de trabalho, produção e venda, bem como a manutenção de espaços icónicos para a noite lisboeta como o Jamaica Bar e o Music Box, como possível espaço de exposição. No percurso deste estudo é analisada a posição do arquitecto no âmbito da reabilitação arquitectónica, na tomada de decisões acertadas no emprego de cores e materiais, de modo a preservar os valores histórico-culturais característicos para a identidade do edifício.
ABSTRACT: The present investigation happens on the thematic on Project with Light, Colour and Substance in the scope of the architectural rehabilitation considering them as indispensable elements to the architectural thought. The theoretical component happens on the context of the basic concepts, relating to the importance of the architectural rehabilitation in “pombalino” and “gaioleiro” buildings and the necessity to understand and to use the light, colour and substance as basic elements in the influence of the perception of the space. The practical source uses the theoretical framing produced applying them under a proposal of architectural intervention on a building, today vacant, of urban implantation only with entrances unlevelled for three streets, located in the Rua do Alecrim nº22, next to Cais-do-Sodré in Lisbon. The proposal is based on a readjustment program the contemporary use, having promoted the strategies of the architectural rehabilitation setting in the common and relevant characteristics featured on the” gaioleiros” buildings. It is considered, as its program, a multi-functional Center of Arts integrating multiple services directed for the culture and arts aimed to the young professionals, both national and foreigners, allowing the exchange of ideas, information and, at the same time, the integration of different cultures. For the center of arts work spaces are considered, temporary residences and multipurpose rooms, valuing the architectural and urban potentialities of the building. Interaction spaces are also considered for the direct interaction of the resident and visiting population such as a cafeteria with direct access from Rua do Alecrim, services in work spaces, production and sales in the ground floor with direct access with the streets Rua Nova do Carvalho and São Paulo, as well as the maintenance of iconic spaces from the Lisbon night as the Jamaica Bar and the Musci Box as possible exhibition areas. During the development of this study, the position of the architect in the process of architectural rehabilitation will be analyzed, taking the right decisions regarding colors and materials preserving the characteristic cultural and historical values needed for the identity of the building.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, com a especialização em Arquitetura apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre.Este projeto pretende dar maior visibilidade à uma vertente muito especial da Arquitetura, seja a Arquitetura Militar, dando ênfase ao seu valor patrimonial e à necessidade da sua conservação e manutenção. Neste quadro específico, analisar-se-á a História que envolve edifícios desta natureza, com foco na Bateria Militar de Alpena, considerando o facto desta ter sido a maior bateria de artilharia da costa portuguesa e, consequentemente, do sistema defensivo do Campo Entrincheirado de Lisboa. Destacar-se-á a sua importância estratégica enquanto mecanismo de defesa da costa atlântica portuguesa e enquanto parte integrante do referido sistema defensivo que, juntamente com as Baterias Militares da Raposeira, formava um importante complexo militar de defesa da Costa de ataques provenientes do sul. Propor-se-á para a Bateria Militar de Alpena a possibilidade de albergar um Centro de Interpretação da Artilharia de Costa (CIAC), no intuito de, após o seu restauro, ganhar uma nova vivência enquanto centro de exposição e debate deste vasto campo de conhecimento disciplinar. Ambicionar-se-á o melhoramento do terrapleno correspondente ao piso térreo, isto é, correspondente à menor cota do projeto, de maneira torna-lo numa “vala” mais verde e com uma circulação pedonal mais convidativa. A proposta é alargada à envolvente, por isso recorre-se ao desenho de novos percursos pedonais que nos levarão a diversos pontos de vista fulcrais para a observação da Arquitetura e da Paisagem.
ABSTRACT:This project aims to give greater visibility to a very special aspect of Architecture, the Military one, bringing emphasis to its patrimonial value and the need to preserve and maintain it. In this specific thesis, the History of buildings of this nature will be analysed, focusing on the Alpena Military Battery, considering the fact that this was the biggest battery of the Portuguese coast and, consequently, of the defensive system of the Entrenched Field of Lisbon. Its strategic importance will be highlighted as a defense mechanism of the Portuguese Atlantic coast and as an integral part of that defensive system which, together with the Raposeira Military Batteries, formed an important military defense complex of the coast from attacks from the south. The possibility of hosting a Coastal Artillery Interpretation Center (CAIC) will be offered to the Alpena Military Battery with the aim of, after its restoration, gaining a new experience as an exhibition and debate center for this vast field of disciplinary knowledge. The improvement of the embankment regarding the ground floor, corresponding to the lowest level of the project, will be aimed at, making it a greener “ditch” with a more inviting pedestrian circulation. The proposal is extended to the surroundings, so we use the design of new footpaths that will lead us to several key points of view for the observation of Architecture and Landscape.

Full textAbstract:
Trabalho apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa, como parte dos requisitos para obtenção de grau de Mestre em Arquitectura e UrbanismoO presente trabalho tem como principal objecto de estudo o tema da reabilitação e requalificação do espaço urbano e do edificado arquitectónico inserido nos centros históricos das cidades. Para concretizar estes objectivos apresenta-se como base um enquadramento teórico alargado, que evolui para a análise de um caso prático do projecto de intervenção de reabilitação e valorização pela requalificação do centro histórico da cidade de Santa Maria da Feira. Recuperar, reabilitar ou requalificar a cidade histórica implica sempre transformar o existente. Mas as intervenções e transformações requerem que se tenha sempre presente a consciência e o conhecimento da dimensão e a responsabilidade da forma como actuar durante todo este processo. É uma verdade que não se pode transformar adequadamente aquilo que não se conhece, e os resultados ficam comprometidos se não forem utilizadas as ferramentas de projecto mais adequadas. Deste modo, através de uma metodologia que se suporta numa exploração teórica inicial, recolhida de diversos autores e fontes documentais de cartas e recomendações sobre o tema da reabilitação e requalificação dos centros históricos e sua sustentabilidade, é analisado o caso da cidade de Santa Maria da Feira, traduzindo-se este trabalho numa reflexão sobre o modo de se intervir no património edificado mas também, e principalmente, na construção da paisagem dos centros históricos das cidades. A organização do trabalho é quase cronológica nos seus diversos assuntos ou seja toda a componente teórica de enquadramento, a história da cidade de Santa Maria da Feira, a transformação do seu centro histórico pela reabilitação e requalificação e as perspectivas futuras decorrentes deste processo. Como objectivos pretendeu-se identificar quais são os principais factores intervenientes numa reabilitação urbana e arquitectónica integrada de uma zona histórica, tendo em conta a cultura local, e de que forma esses factores podem ser implementados no desenvolvimento, tentandose dar indicações para que o futuro não seja arremessado para situações contrárias aos objectivos que se pretendiam obter inicialmente. Como principais conclusões julga-se que foi possível realizar um adequado enquadramento do tema, com a apresentação da evolução dos conceitos sobre a reabilitação do património, traduzidos em cartas e recomendações, não só arquitectónico como também do espaço urbano dos centros históricos, podendo a análise da transformação operada na cidade de Santa Maria da Feira ser caracterizada e analisada à luz desses conceitos e recomendações, com a identificação dos principais elementos característicos da reabilitação urbana e arquitectónica e formas de actuação sobre o património do centro histórico desta cidade. Por último, tendo como base os resultados obtidos, apresentam-se algumas perspectivas de evolução futuras, alertando-se para alguns dos riscos que poderão ocorrer, para o que se realizou o exercício de identificar os elementos que deverão merecer a atenção e para os quais se recomendam caminhos simples de soluções futuras. This work has as main purpose of study the theme of rehabilitation and revitalization of urban space and architectural buildings inserted in historical city centers. To achieve these objectives is presented, based on a broad theoretical framework, the following and descrived analysis of a case study about the intervention project of rehabilitation and recovery by upgrading of the historic city center of Santa Maria da Feira. Recover, rehabilitate or redevelop the historic city always involves transforming the existing one. However these interventions and transformations require not only ever-present awareness and understanding of the magnitude but also responsibility about how it works throughout this process. In fact, it’s obvious we can’t change properly what we don’t know, and the results are compromised if we don’t use the most appropriated design tools. In this way, through a methodology that supports a theoretical exploration initial collected from various authors and documentary sources on the subject of rehabilitation and upgrading of historic centres and its sustainability, which will be applied to the case analyzed in the town of Santa Maria da Feira, this work represents a reflection about how to interview in the built heritage but also and mainly in the construction and organization of the landscape of historic city centres. The organization of work is almost chronological in their various subjects or any component theoretical framework, which is the history of the city of Santa Maria da Feira, the transformation of its historic centre for the rehabilitation and upgrading and the future prospects of this process. The aim consist in the main factors involved in urban renewal and architectural intended to be integrated in a historic local, having in mind the local culture, and how these factors can be implemented. It’s fundamental to give directions for the future, even that appear in directions that are contrary to the objectives aimed initially. As it was already defended, the main results it is believed that it was possible to perform an adequate framework of the theme, with the presentation of the evolution of concepts on the rehabilitation of heritage, translated in letters and recommendations, not only architectural but also the urban historic centres, the analysis of the city of Feira are characterized and analyzed in the light of these concepts and recommendations. In a conclusion way, this analysis was intended to draw some conclusions about the concepts and best modes of action in urban spaces, what worked well, but what has not been as successful, and thus determine simple recommendations ways and future solutions.

Dentro del Centro Histórico de Lima aún resisten edificaciones que fueron referentes arquitectónicos del Siglo XIX y XX y que siguen casi en pie; sin embargo, al preguntarnos qué porvenir tienen, las respuestas e intuiciones son en su mayoría desesperanzadoras.
En tiempos donde se discute sobre la obsolescencia programada de los productos, los objetos, los edificios, ¿dónde queda el oficio del arquitecto con vocación humanista, su ego intrínseco de perennización a través de la calidad? ¿A qué le llamamos calidad arquitectónica si seguimos usando a la ciudad como una pizarra de prueba y error, borrón, cuenta nueva y parches, una ciudad cada vez más saturada y necesitada de espacios públicos e infraestructura? ¿Acaso es el descuido del hombre, su ingratitud hacia la historia y su falta de valoración a la calidad y orden (informalidad) lo que está mandando a cientos joyas arquitectónicas de Lima al olvido?
Este proyecto tiene la osadía de desafiar al tiempo con un ideal futurista para un usuario real y humano del presente, que muestra correspondencia hacia nuestra historia mediante dos conceptos primordiales: poner en valor infraestructuras arquitectónicos olvidadas del Siglo XX a través de su adecuación para nuevos usos contemporáneos y versátiles, y mejorar los espacios públicos del Centro de Lima a través de una nueva alternativa solventada en un programa urbano y arquitectónico.Inside the Historical Center of Lima there are -still- buildings that were architectural references of the XIX and XX centuries and that are yet standing; however, when asked what future they have, the answers and intuitions are mostly hopeless. In times where there is discussion about the programmed obsolescence of products, objects, buildings, where is the job of the architect with a humanist vocation, his intrinsic ego of perennization through quality? What do we call architectural quality if we continue to use the city as a try and failure blackboard, a city increasingly saturated and needed of public spaces and infrastructure? Is it the carelessness of man, his ingratitude towards history and his lack of appreciation of quality and order (informality) that is sending hundreds of architectural gems from Lima to oblivion? This project has the audacity to challenge time with a futuristic ideal for a real and human user of the present, which shows correspondence to our history through two fundamental concepts: to value forgotten architectural infrastructures of the 20th Century through its adaptation for new contemporary and versatile purposes, and improve the public spaces of the Center of Lima through a new alternative solved in an urban and architectural program.

The subject of the diploma thesis was the elaboration of an architectural study of the renovation and completion of the Secondary school Gemini in Brno on Vaculíkova street. The assignment was the completion of the school and the emergence of new accommodation, restaurant and services. This object is situated in Brno - Lesná. It is a relatively sloping land. The basis of the design was the completion of one school floor and the completion of a new w connected to the existing building. The original school was built parallel to the contour lines, while the completion of the new part of the object is perpendicular to the contour lines. This will create an optically enclosed garden space from Vaculíkova Street. The school's garden remains open to the park towards the Devil's Gorge. On the west side a new building with a restaurant and services is built, which is connected with the original school by a connecting neck.The basis of the design was the completion of one school floor and the completion of a new wing connected to the existing building. The original school was built parallel to the contour lines, while the completion of the new part of the object is perpendicular to the contour lines.

Mestrado em Arquitectura Paisagista - Instituto Superior de AgronomiaThe aim of this study is that the Landscape Architect, who is going to make a project to improve the green spaces to be used by people with special needs, applies a methodology of approaching and active intervention. This methodology includes: watching and participation in the activities; interviewing the different users of the space (health professionals, employees, hospitalized patients or outpatients and visitors/relatives), Focus Groups and inquiries to the several groups of users. As a result of this methodology it will be possible to draw the guidelines of the project of Landscape Architecture, so that it may fulfill the users’ real needs and become an integral project, according to the surrounding space and as an extension of it. This study allows the Landscape Architecture to work for the community but through a methodology which gives the opportunity to mix the project of a space according to the designer’s creativity with the utility and adaptation according to the users’ approach. The Medical Rehabilitation Centre of Alcoitão, where the green spaces are important to the patients’ rehabilitation and well-being, was chosen for this study case. The methodology tested in this place may be an useful tool for the development of architecture projects of other spaces attended by people with special needs.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, com a especialização em Arquitetura apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre.Os surtos de doenças infectocontagiosas e as epidemias são males da civilização, conhecidos desde que existem registos históricos. Dadas as limitações das práticas médicas, a separação da população doente da saudável, em instalações próprias para esse efeito – os lazaretos –, era o único modo de conter a propagação dessas doenças, o que equivale a reconhecer o desconhecimento de profilaxias eficazes no seu tratamento. O nosso trabalho baseia-se no contexto histórico dos lazaretos, i.e. do sistema quarentenário, e aborda, de modo sumário, as doenças que tornaram necessárias a implementação deste sistema no século XVII e seguintes. O equipamento que constitui o foco do nosso estudo é o Lazareto de Lisboa. Motiva-nos o propósito de restaurar e reabilitar este edifício com valor patrimonial significativo e elevado potencial para acolher um novo programa, mantendo a vocação de equipamento de saúde. A investigação divide-se em dois momentos metodológicos. O primeiro, de construção do estado da arte, radica na revisão de literatura nas áreas disciplinares a convocar, na observação direta e levantamento fotográfico, recolha e tratamento de peças gráficas que documentam o existente. O segundo, rege-se pela metodologia de projecto de restauro, requalificação e reutilização para acolher um equipamento de reabilitação de diversos tipos de adicção.
ABSTRACT: Infectious disease outbreaks and epidemics are ailments of the civilization, known ever since there are historical records. Due to the limitation of the medical practices, the separation of the ill population from the healthy one, in proper facilities – the lazarettos –, was the only way to contain the propagation of those diseases, this is equivalent to recognizing the lack of effective prophylaxis in its treatment. Our work is based on the historical context of the lazarettos and the quarantine system, and approaches the illnesses that made the implementation of this system necessary from the 17th century. The focus of our study is the Lazareto de Lisboa. Our purpose is to restore and rehabilitate this building which has significant patrimonial value and potential to sustain a new program, maintaining its original calling as a health facility. The investigation divides itself in two methodological moments. The first, state-of-the-art construction, is based on literature review in the disciplinary areas to be convened, direct observation and photographic survey, collection and treatment of graphic documents that document the existing one. The second, is ruled by the design methodology of restoration, requalification and reuse to accommodate a rehabilitation centre for various types of addition

Full textAbstract:
La thèse porte sur la patrimonialisation de l’urbain à partir des dispositifs censés encadrer le devenir du patrimoine dans les villes et qui se confronte aux logiques de développement urbain. La posture situe la patrimonialisation de l'urbain dans un processus historique. Initialement centrée sur les monuments, identifiés pour leurs valeurs, la patrimonialisation a englobé les contextes pour ensuite considérer les ensembles comme des patrimoines. La patrimonialisation des ensembles urbains doit prendre en compte les multiples dimensions et acteurs impliqués dans la gestion des villes. Ces évolutions nécessitent la conciliation entre la préservation du patrimoine et le développement urbain. Comment, dès lors, penser concrètement une patrimonialisation, spécifique à l’urbain ?L’étude se fonde sur une reconstruction des programmes de projets dans l’intramuros d’Avignon (France) à partir du croisement de données recueillies dans les documents consignés dans les archives municipales (couvrant la période de 1957-2004) avec des données issues d’entretiens avec des acteurs impliqués (entretiens semi-directifs avec 14 personnes ressources). Ainsi, les sources (orales) de première main permettent d’éclaircir et de compléter les sources écrites (archives). En observant les expérimentations entreprises à Avignon, depuis la Loi Malraux en 1964, nous mesurons la construction sociohistorique des pratiques locales qui se sont structurées autour de la préservation du patrimoine en rapport aux orientations nationales et les difficultés d’une prise en compte de la ville historique dans l'évolution urbaine de la ville d’Avignon.La recherche se concentre sur trois (3) moments : les années 1960, 1970 et 1980. Le premier illustre une prise de conscience de l’urgence de préserver les quartiers historiques par la mise en place des secteurs sauvegardés. Ce dernier reste imprégné par la conservation des monuments comme des objets isolés sans arriver à prendre en charge les ensembles. Le deuxième ancre la préservation des ensembles dans les efforts de développement urbain à travers la mise en place des Contrats Ville-Moyenne sous la supervision de l’État. Enfin, le troisième s’affranchit du contrôle de l’État en instaurant des Zones d’Aménagements différées adossées sur des projets issus d’études insistant sur la dimension patrimoniale. L’analyse de ces trois moments consiste à repérer les orientations prises en faveur, ou non, du patrimoine et à rendre compte des contextes et des acteurs impliqués dans ces prises de décisions. En nous référant à des travaux en sciences humaines (sociologie, géographie, anthropologie) et concernant spécifiquement le patrimoine (Amougou, Davallon, Gravari-Barbas, Rautenberg, Veschambres…), nous avons démontré que les orientations qui compromettent la préservation du patrimoine viennent de l’absence de lien entre trois (3) niveaux, repérés lors de l’analyse : la trouvaille du patrimoine, la mise en politique du patrimoine et l’action urbaine. Pour dépasser ces manques de liens entre les trois, la thèse propose un outil pour penser la patrimonialisation de l’urbain, qui réunit et met en relation les conditions de réussite de la patrimonialisation d’un ensemble urbain historique.La recherche doctorale a ainsi permis de produire des connaissances à visée opérationnelle, en plus d’ouvrir plusieurs pistes qu’il serait pertinent d’approfondir. Sur le plan méthodologique, le repérage des mesures prises en faveur ou contre le patrimoine nécessiterait, compte tenu de la complexité du problème tel que posé, une analyse transversale plus approfondie pour définir des indices en faveur de la préservation ou bien de la détérioration. Dans ce sens, les résultats dégagés à partir du cas d’Avignon gagneraient à être confrontés à d’autres terrains. Par ailleurs, l’arrimage de ce travail aux derniers développements en matière de conservation urbaine portés à l'échelle internationale, par ICOMOS et par l’UNESCO, paraît porteurThe preservation of historic cities requires on behalf of the actors committed to the urban development of the urban historic ensemble (EUH) additional efforts to extend their actions beyond isolated buildings. In practice, when developing historic urban ensembles, the conservation of the urban heritage seems to be relegated to an external if compulsory constraint which has to be overcome. This situation often results in the opposition of two aims: development versus conservatory.The question of how can the conservation of urban heritage be better considered is debated on international, national and local scales. By joining this current debate, our thesis aims to answer the following question: how can we improve the management of the imperatives behind urban development in historic cities, when tied to patrimonial obligation towards urban ensembles?The literature review helped us show that the notion of urban heritage, which justifies the urban preservation, was born in the minds of planners confronted with urban development, linking the notion of the urban heritage more closely to that of development than to conservation. In the absence of one that would move towards urban heritage preservation and confronted with the dominant if opposite postures, we realized, based on the literature review, that the opposition shared anchoring elements: the preservation paradigm of actions, centered on buildings and unsuitable in the case of ensembles, this paradigm supported by divergent institutional cultures and strengthened by an opposition between the modes of local implication.Considering the well-known difficulties and the contributions of the literature review, which clarifies the nature of the opposition between heritage conservation and development, how can the preservation of historic urban ensembles be thought differently? To answer that question, we propose reflecting on urban preservation as integrated to urban development.On the methodological level, the nature of the opposition between development and conservation sends us back to the analysis of what takes place on the field. We chose to look at the historic center of Avignon, where various actors have attempted to exceed this opposition. Avignon, as a mid-sized city of the South of France, is endowed with one of France’s biggest protected areas which cover the entire historic center. The history of the actions carried out in the intramural brings out archetypical situations which illustrate the opposition between development and conservation. The case study allowsus to intellectualise the mobilization of urban heritage on 3 levels: Institutional, Find and Urban action. Each of these levels distinguishes itself by the nature of the mobilization and by the point at which are made manifest the mobilization of the material and symbolic dimensions of urban heritage. Starting with the case study, we have conceptualised a model which goes beyond a restricted reading focused on the opposition to think out urban development within the context of urban conservation. The model brings into the urban development the notion of urban heritage designation as a succession of actions which qualify urban historic ensemble as heritage and preserve them. On the scientific level, the model mobilizes notions, borrowed from sociological, communicational, ethnological and geographical approaches of heritage designation. It proposes a new analytical framework for thinking about the actors involved in the urbanistic management of the historic urban ensembles, so as to exceed the oppositions and guarantee a sustainable creation of urban heritage which does not constitute an obstacle for the imperatives of development. The model helps us see the roles at stake and organizes the various actions undertaken by the various actors in favour of both heritage and development to come up with an integrated urban heritage designation

Despite problematic times, the city managed to raise again from the crisis by finding new concept for city function, which nowadays is the symbol of the city – Universidade da Beira Interior. The subject is very interesting because of the fact that Covilha build itself again putting the University Faculties into former factory buildings showing that way its pride of the factor which ruined the city and respecting the left heritage.

Johannesburg, South Africa in the year 2013.
in the year 2013Fire is part of our everyday life. As the relationship between man and fire grows, so does the danger of using it. In South Africa, the power of fire is unfortunately and commonly underestimated, resulting in more victims falling prey to the fire fiend. Facilities that provide specialized treatment for burn victims are limited. This includes treatment of the burn wound (cloned skin) and latent rehabilitation using physical and psychological therapy. The design of a building specialized for the needs of burn victims has been proposed. The facility will be mixed use and multi-functional: it will be a 2-part building consisting of a Skin Cloning Laboratory and a Rehabilitation Centre in Johannesburg. The site selected is located behind the Charlotte Maxeke Hospital (Joburg Gen). The site was chosen for its views, hospital connection and relationship to the Wits University Medical Faculty. The organic design was derived from the concept of “skin and the landscape”. The facade depicts the “element of water” and grows out of the excavated rock face wall.

Orientação: Luís Filipe Pires ConceiçãoCom o presente relatório pretende-se a apresentação e fundamentação das estratégias projectuais consideradas no desenvolvimento do trabalho realizado no âmbito da disciplina de Projecto Final, ao longo do ano lectivo 2011/2012. Tem como objectivo a Reabilitação do chamado antigo “Mercado de Escravos” e sua reconversão num espaço museológico que remete para um percurso na cidade de Lagos, enquanto funciona como chamada de atenção para o seu património edificado, em particular, aquele que o percurso mostra, de modo a assegurar a preservação da memória da cidade. A memória de um passado que importa legar para o futuro. Este trabalho concentra-se no desenvolvimento de contributos para o campo da reabilitação do vasto património histórico edificado ainda existente na cidade. Propõe-se possíveis “reconversões de usos” que visem o reaproveitamento dos edifícios, recuperando-os e dandolhe nova utilização, segundo as necessidades actuais da população. Numa época de racionalização da ocupação do solo com construção, a reabilitação acompanhada de atribuição de novos usos é fundamental, tendo em conta o número crescente de edifício abandonados nos centros históricos e áreas consolidadas. É igualmente motivador reflectirmos no modo de projectar, onde a envolvente, a nova função do edifício, as pessoas que o vão utilizar, entre outros, são factores que condicionam o projecto, a forma e natureza do futuro edifício. Neste sentido, explora a questão da reconversão de usos como meio de intervir no património construído, possibilitando a reutilização de antigas estruturas, integrando-as nos usos e tecido urbano edificado que constitui a sociedade actual.
This report presents and supports the grounds for the architectural design strategies considered for the work developed in the discipline of Projecto Final, during the academic year 2011/2012. Its main purpose is the rehabilitation of the so called old “Mercado de Escravos” (Slave Market) into a museologic space which incorporates a route in Lagos, while acting as a reminder of the city’s built heritage, particularly that which is shown by the route, in order to ensure the preservation of the memory of the city. A past memory that matters to bequeath for the future. This work focuses on developing contributions to the field of rehabilitation of the vast historical built heritage still in existence. Possible "conversion of uses" aimed at the reutilization of buildings, refurbishing them and giving them a new use, according to the current needs of the population. In an era of rationalization of land use regarding new constructions, rehabilitation followed by allocation of new uses is vital, given the growing number of abandoned buildings in historic centers and consolidated areas. It is motivating to reflect on the design approaches where the surroundings, the new function, the new users, amongst others, are determining factors in shaping the project and nature of the future building. In this sense, this work explores the subject of conversion of uses as a medium to act in the built heritage, enabling the reuse of old structures, integrating them into the uses and urban fabric which makes contemporary society.

Orientação: Vasco PinheiroCarnide não perdeu as suas características de ruralidade, mantém ainda hoje particularidades típicas de uma aldeia, no interior da cidade de Lisboa. No entanto, o seu Centro Histórico encontra-se ameaçado. A reabilitação do seu edificado é essencial para travar o progressivo envelhecimento da população e desertificação do bairro, devolvendo a vida regeneradora a este lugar, conferindo-lhe condições necessárias para atrair novos moradores e actividades, capazes de cativar as pessoas à permanência neste local e até de atrair mais pessoal jovem trazendo uma nova dinâmica a este centro histórico. Por outro lado, o património arquitectónico representa um bem valioso considerando os aspectos de identidade, culturais, sociais e económicos, estabelece a ligação entre o passado e o futuro, oferecendo valores, significados e sensibilidades que garantem a preservação da nossa identidade cultural, havendo assim uma ligação constante de conceito de identidade e de pertença. Esta dissertação pretende constituir uma nova proposta sobre a recuperação do Património Edificado Urbano em Carnide, mantendo a memória histórica e o espírito do lugar. A escolha recai sobre um edifício que se encontra em ruína, restando apenas as paredes de fachada, situado na rua da Fonte. Esta rua, além de ser uma das principais vias de acesso a este centro histórico, é também a via que faz a ligação entre o Jardim da Luz e o centro de Carnide, portanto com uma localização privilegiada para ser visitada por quem quer conhecer este centro histórico. Neste caso a fachada é o legado, o património que vale a pena reflectir. Além disso é o elemento da envolvente com maior superfície, o que tem mais contacto com as pessoas, tanto as que se encontram no exterior como no interior do edifício e, por isso, este elemento será encarado como uma oportunidade de valorização do que foi deixado como legado. Assim esta proposta de projecto, ao mesmo tempo que dá monumentalidade as paredes existentes como memorial do passado e do espírito do lugar, acrescenta-lhe um novo volume que, embora preservando o ambiente intimista e de recolhimento, confere a modernidade necessária aos novos usos do edifício. O seu uso foi alterado, de forma a atrair uma camada mais jovem a este lugar trazendo uma nova dinâmica. O edifício que outrora foi habitação, passaria segundo esta proposta, a ser uma residencial para estudantes. Pretende-se com este estudo criar um elemento sensível às transformações da nossa sociedade, experimentando novas dinâmicas e conceitos. Não ficando na memória apenas por ser um local de passagem, mas pelo contrário, um elemento em destaque. Um ponto marcante, que pela sua morfologia estimule os sentimentos, o impensável, o inesperado. Um edifício que pelo seu carácter e uso estimule novas dinâmicas neste centro histórico de Carnide.
Carnide did not lose its characteristics of rurality and still retains the typical peculiarities of a village within the city of Lisbon. However, its historical centre is threatened. The rehabilitation of its buildings is essential to halt the progressive aging of the population and depopulation of the district, thus returning regenerating life into this place and giving it the necessary conditions to attract new residents and activities, conditions that will be able to attract people to remain in the place and to attract more young people, bringing a new momentum to this historic centre. On the other hand, the architectural heritage is a valuable asset considering the identity, cultural, social and economic aspects; it links the past and the future, providing values, meanings and sensibilities that guarantee the preservation of our cultural identity, so that there is a constant binding of the concept of identity and belonging. This thesis aims to offer a new proposal on the recovery of the Built Heritage in Urban Carnide, keeping the historical memory and spirit of the place. The choice falls on a building that lies in ruins, leaving only the walls of the façade, situated at the Rua da Fonte. This street, besides being one of the main routes of access to the historic center, is also the way that makes the connection between the Jardim da Luz and the center of Carnide therefore in a prime location to be visited by anyone who wants to know this historical place. In this case the facade is the legacy, the heritage that is worth reflecting. It is also the surrounding element with higher surface, which has more contact with people, both those that are outside and inside the building, so it was seen as an opportunity for recovery of what was left as a legacy. So this project, while preserving the walls in ruins as a memorial of the past and the spirit of the place, adds a new volume that, although keeping the environment and intimate gathering, gives the necessary modernity to the building new uses. Also, the use has changed, in order to attract a younger layer of people to this place bringing a new dynamic. Thus, the building that once was a household would, according to this proposal, be a home for students. The aim of this study was to create an element sensitive to changes in our society, trying new and dynamic concepts; remaining in memory not just by being a place of passage, but rather a highlighted element; a striking point, which by their morphology stimulates the feelings, the unthinkable, and the unexpected. Creating a building, that, by its nature and use, stimulates new dynamic in the historical center of Carnide.

South Africa as a developing country faces the challenges of providing a better life for
all its citizens. The South African society is of two extremes, a small population of the
wealthy and a large portion of the poor. In a growing economy there is an increase in
the gap between rich and poor. The rich work to keep their wealth and the poor work
but struggle to provide the bare necessities for their families. The challenges facing
South Africa are of alleviating poverty, through providing adequate shelter, jobs,
education and health for all South Africans. These are essential elements that are
needed to create better communities and functional families. The solutions to these
problems are sometimes not thought through and integrated with other sectors of
society. This leads to quick fix solutions to deep routed problems which are isolated
to the countries’ developments.
South Africa has a deep history rooted in apartheid. Living within a post apartheid
society South Africans have inherited a built environment that was aimed for specific
segregated population groups. In a democratic society people have an opportunity of
“equal sharing” within the economy. This leaves a large portion of the population
struggling to rid themselves of poverty. These are the major issues which lead to
committing crime and consequently imprisonment. This research study specifically
deals with the correctional services institutions built form, rehabilitation and
reintegration processes for the ex-prisoner. The built forms role in society can be far
reaching and shape the life form of its inhabitants. It can facilitate a positive role in
deterring the social ills of society. Presently the built environments cannot
accommodate the growing and integrated population groups.
The role of the correctional facilities is important in providing safe communities by
removing those individuals harmful to society. A thorough approach to imprisonment,
rehabilitation and social reintegration of ex-prisoners will assist in keeping safe
communities. The understanding of prisons, their environment and the role of the built
form with regards to social reintegration processes is important. This will assist in
lessening the amount of recidivism of ex-prisoners once released. This research seeks
to establish the role in which the built form can support rehabilitation for ex-prisoners
in the view of reintegrating them back into society.Thesis (M.Arch.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2010.

Orientação: Hugo Philipe H. da Nazareth Fernandes de CerqueiraA cidade de Faro contém na sua morfologia urbana um centro histórico caracterizado por um conjunto de edifícios com valor patrimonial. Hoje, muitos desses espaços encontram-se desaproveitados nos seus usos, sendo a reabilitação a única alternativa à ruina. Como tal, o propósito do trabalho aqui apresentado é contribuir para recuperar um edifício que contenha a capacidade de dinamizar a herança do núcleo histórico de Faro. É deste tema que deriva a presente dissertação cujo objectivo consiste em desenvolver um projecto de reabilitação e ampliação do antigo Convento de Nossa Senhora Assunção, onde actualmente se encontra instalado o Museu Municipal de Faro. A escolha deste edifício como objecto de estudo deve-se ao facto de se tratar de um monumento nacional, cujas condições espaciais não oferecem a melhor funcionalidade exigida para as suas actuais funções, propondo-se neste sentido a sua requalificação e ampliação. O projecto apresentado é desenvolvido com o apoio de uma investigação que visa dar a conhecer a fundamentação teórica pela qual ele se rege. Primeiro, com a análise e pontos de vista de vários autores que defendem a intervenção arquitectónica em edifícios históricos, depois a partir de documentos históricos que trouxeram a importância da salvaguarda do património. Em suma, o intuito do trabalho é também uma forma de propor a importância da intervenção da arquitectura no património histórico, como forma de promover a sua salvaguarda e ao mesmo tempo resguardar um conjunto de memórias.
The city of Faro in its urban form contains one historic center characterized by a set of buildings with patrimonial value. Today, many of these spaces are held back in their uses, and rehabilitating the only alternative to ruin. As such, the purpose of the presented work here is to help restore a building that contains the ability to streamline the heritage of the historic core of Faro. It is this theme that derives this thesis aimed to develop a project of rehabilitation and expansion of the former Convent of Our Lady of the Assumption, which is currently installed Municipal Museum of Faro. The choice of this building as an object of study is due to the fact that it is a national monument, whose spatial conditions do not offer the best functionality required for their current functions, suggesting, in this sense its redevelopment and expansion. The presented project is developed with the support of a research that aims to inform the theoretical foundation by which it is governed, first with the analysis of several authors that argue the architectural intervention in historic buildings, then from historical documents that brought the importance of heritage conservation. In short order the work is a way of proposing the intervention of contemporary architecture in the historic heritage as a way of promoting their protection while safeguarding a set of memories.

The purpose of this research document is to understand the social issues that are generated
from a globally ageing demographic, which relate to the aged identity and the current care
environments available to them. Research will be conducted under the hypothesis that the
design of a strategically sited care facility which, grouped with facilities that pertain to the
care of the aged, could improve the quality of life for the elderly whilst promoting
intergenerational connectivity. It is also hoped that ageist stereotypes could be abridged by
lowering the dependency of the elderly on care providers by providing preventative and post
operative rehabilitative care.
The scope of the work is limited to the urban context of South Africa's ageing population
primarily based on the current trend of mass urbanisation, after the abolition of the Apartheid
government, which is creating a new family dynamic within South Africa where the care of
the elderly is shifting onto medical institutions and care facilities. The demand for aged care
facilities and the lack of resources in the field of aged care potentially create a situation
where medical facilities are unnecessarily overburdened.
An architectural response was generated through an investigation of current literature, case
studies, precedent studies and personally conducted interviews with a number of aged care
professionals. The research was conducted from a global standpoint and then focused
towards issues that affect the aged individuals identity and care.
The goal of this research was ultimately to inform the design of a care facility within
Pietermaritzburg that is responsive to the needs of the elderly whilst being innovative
towards its approach of aged care within a community.Thesis (M.Arch.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2010.

A primeira, porque nos remete para as componentes que caracterizam o lugar. A segunda porque constitui, entre outras coisas, algumas respostas para as necessidades da vivência quotidiana. De que forma um conceito não ofusca o outro? Principalmente quando se trata de tentar incorporá-los num centro histórico, que habitualmente imaginamos como um ponto antigo da cidade, com uma imagem clássica e conservadora. Será que a identidade e a contemporaneidade conseguem conviver, promovendo a revitalização e a reutilização dos centros históricos das nossas cidades? Neste trabalho, pretende-se aprofundar o que é realmente a identidade na cidade, quais os parâmetros a seguir para mantê-la aquando de uma reabilitação, e de que forma pode cohabitar com as necessidades contemporâneas, sendo posteriormente analisada a realidade do centro histórico de Toledo. Este é um centro histórico bastante singular, com grandes potencialidades de ser vivido, dentro das circunstâncias que o envolvem. A sobreposição de culturas, e a derradeira influência árabe e judaica na arquitectura e na malha urbana deste local, conferem ao centro histórico uma identidade ainda mais peculiar e única. Este lugar será, portanto, objecto de investigação, realizando-se uma caracterização intensiva das suas componentes identitárias, tanto a nível arquitectónico e urbano, como social e económico. Esta investigação tem como base o maior e mais completo plano alguma vez realizado para Toledo, pela equipa espanhola liderada pelo arquitecto Joan Busquets. Diagnosticadas as patologias, serão reveladas as propostas que visam melhorar o comportamento sustentável deste centro histórico, procurando também uma nova e fortalecida relação com a restante cidade de Toledo.

Full textAbstract:
M.Tech. (Architectural Technology)This project is an architectural response to a setting shared by an active open cast platinum mine and the surrounding rural traditional subsistence farming communities located in the Mogalakwena municipality, Limpopo Province. The area is characterised by its mine waste landscape and large open cast pits, all of which are remnants of the process of open cast mining. The Mogalakwena communities’ economic livelihood is largely dependent on agricultural land. This land is reducing, partly due to the establishment and expansion of the mine and partly to the increased growth rate of the surrounding communities. This project argues that the remnants of the mining industry (particularly open cast pits, mine waste rock and infrastructure) need not be redundant and can be reused and rehabilitated to result in productive outcomes by establishing the necessary systemic strategy for transposed use. It contends that the proposed reconfi gured mining infrastructure programs can be responsive to context (history, environment and communities), climate and natural processes of the area. In testing the strength of this argument, diff erent research investigations and theories were used as was appropriate to each area of research in this topic. These included, among others, investigations into the history and context of both the mining industry generally, including its legislative context, and the site specifi cally. Considerations of the embedded memory of the site were taken into account. Theories which assisted in leading to a proposed strategy for the site on a contextual scale included theories relating to contextual productive systems, continuous productive urban landscapes, permaculture and biomimicry, augmented landscapes, entropic architecture, architecture as a machine and the mortality of architecture. Ultimately, a proposed solution as an architectural product was sought. The following questions had to be answered in a eff orts to produce an appropriate architectural response to the site and its challenges: 1. How can the role of architecture reconfigure the redundant, disused mine waste landscape so as to harness a rehabilitative and productive system and how can that system be managed by the design? 2. How can contemporary rural agricultural projects be challenged to form new typologies that empower the communities to provide for their own present and future needs? 3. How can architecture as a system be designed to outlast the temporality of its program to transform a redundant open cast mining landscape into a productive landscape? The architectural intervention is a design of reconfi gured structures aimed at facilitating a productive and sustainable environment for agricultural advancement, in order to rehabilitate the existing “minescape” (industrially altered mining land), and reconcile the use of this land with the history of subsistence farming as practiced by members of the surrounding communities. The proposed architectural product strives to create a site and context responsive architectural program or system by fusing technological strategies into the body of architecture that are essentially environmental. It aims to employ air, water, sun, and earth to augment the productive relationship between architecture and the “minescaped” terrain, thereby creating a Productive Minescape, which yields tangible positive by-products such as agriculture, renewable energy, water treatment and harvesting systems, among others. Other productive by-products of the project are education and research facilities and facilities which aim to provide accessibility and reconciliation of the stakeholders of this area, to the site and to each other. The introduction of these systems and facilities will be phase one of the proposed architectural intervention. However, the intervention is networked, and therefore has a scalable logic which is envisaged to grow and develop at a much larger and more intensive scale, suggested to occur over the next 30 years, which are phases two, three and four (see figures 17 and 18).

Orientação:João Filipe Ribeiro Borges da CunhaCom o crescimento das cidades, o abandono dos centros históricos tem sido uma problemática recorrente das cidades, independentemente da dimensão destes núcleos urbanos, e Torres Vedras não é excepção A criação de estratégias de repovoamento é por isso primordial para estes centros urbanos, sejam elas de iniciativa pública ou privada. No primeiro capitulo, é analisada a problemática da desocupação urbana, assim como as suas causas e consequências. Para isso, foi necessário recorrer a estudos sociológicos realizados sobre o Centro histórico de Torres Vedras, dando a conhecer a realidade da cidade, e a necessidade urgente de intervir no sentido de inverter a espiral de despovoamento. O estudo dos conceitos de Cidade e Reabilitação, bem como a análise dos programas de apoio à reabilitação urbana, e a análise de alguns projectos promovidos por entidades privadas são preponderantes, no sentido que são elas que nos dão as directivas para a criação de uma proposta de uma nova estratégia de reabilitação. Assim, no segundo capitulo após analisar a Cidade de Torres Vedras e a sua fundação, propõe-se a intervenção num determinado edifício com uma localização estratégica. A localização é junto de uma antiga Porta da Cidade em frente a um monumento Nacional (Chafariz dos Canos) sendo assim encarado como porta para a espiral de repovoamento. O edifício terá sido uma antiga estalagem, conhecido como “Casa Solarenga” sendo o espécime perfeito para o que é Reabilitar para Habitar. Assim, apresenta-se um projecto/conceito de reabilitação respeitando a génese do edifício e tirando o máximo partido das suas características. No terceiro capitulo analisamos o que foi efectuado, bem como de que modo a nossa intervenção poderá ser catalisadora de outras nas imediações, criando uma efectiva espiral de repovoamento deste núcleo histórico. Dando como de sucesso esta estratégia e analisando o que acontece junto das outras três Portas da Cidade criar-se-iam não uma, mas quatro Espirais de Repovoamento do centro histórico de Torres Vedras.
Due to the growth of cities, the abandonment of historic centers has been a recurrent problem in cities, regardless of the size of these urban centers, and Torres Vedras is no exception. The creation of repopulation strategies is therefore of prime importance for these urban centers, no matter if they are public or private initiative. The first chapter analyzes the problem of urban eviction, as well as its causes and consequences. To do so, it was necessary to make use of sociological studies carried out on the historic center of Torres Vedras, revealing the reality of the city, and the urgent need to intervene in order to reverse the spiral of depopulation. The study of the concepts of City and Rehabilitation, as well as the analysis of programs supporting urban rehabilitation and the analysis of some projects promoted by private entities are preponderant in the sense that they give us directives for the creation of a proposal for a new rehabilitation strategy. In the second chapter, after analyzing the City of Torres Vedras and its foundation, the intervention in a certain building with a strategic location.is proposed. The location is next to an old City Gate right in front of a National Monument (Chafariz dos Canos) and will be considered as a gateway to the siral of repopulation. The building had former been an old inn, known as the "Casa Solarenga" and is the prefect specimen for what is Rehabilitate to inhabit. Thus, a project / concept of rehabilitation is presented by respecting the genesis of the building and taking full advantage of its characteristics. In the third chapter we analyze what has been done, as well as how our intervention could be catalytic for others in the immediate vicinity, creating an effective spiral of repopulation of this historical nucleus. By assuming this a successfull strategy and by analyzing what happens next to the other three Doors of the City, not one, but four Spirals of Repopulation of the historical center of Torres Vedras would be created.

Visto localizar-se numa zona privilegiada da cidade por albergar na sua envolvente as paragens de transportes colectivos e praça de táxis, frente ribeirinha com equipamentos desportivos, restauração e comércio tradicional e situar-se junto ao núcleo histórico, é o ponto de partida para a renovação desta cidade “adormecida”. Uma vez que é uma cidade que vive do turismo, é impensável que a sua maior receita seja desperdiçada pela falta de alojamento turístico no núcleo urbano. Além disso a falta de um local digno de promoção da cultura é notável, pelo que se pretende a fusão de ambos no quarteirão em estudo.

The block located on Rua Cruz da Palmeira, next to the Municipal Market, presents an irregular shape since it is located in a drawer and has undergone changes in the building when the construction of the marginal avenue. Since it’s located in a privileged area of the city, it is surrounded by public transportation stops and a taxi rank, a waterfront with sports facilities, restaurants and traditional shops, and is located next to the historical center, renewal of this "sleeping" city. Since it’s a city that lives of tourism, it’s unthinkable that it’s greater revenue is wasted by the lack of tourist accommodation in the urban core. In addition the lack of a place worthy of promotion of the culture is remarkable, reason why is meant the fusion of both in the quarter under study.

Orientação: Alberto Flávio Monteiro LopesO presente trabalho tem por objetivo investigar sobre as estratégias de intervenção urbana, abordando o caso concreto do Centro Histórico da cidade da Praia, na ilha de Santiago em Cabo Verde. No ano de 1520, o Plateau da Cidade da Praia começou a ser povoado, isso devido à sua localização alta e aptidão defensiva, mas só a partir do século XVIII é que a cidade verdadeiramente se começou a modelar. O estudo e interpretação da cartografia antiga (desde o século XVIII até finais do século XX) foram importantes para compreender a evolução urbana e a importância dos traçados. Com base nas informações recolhidas (em cartografia antiga e em planos mais recentes) e após estudos de campo, realizados em 2016, foi possível sistematizar informação geral sobre as 475 construções do Plateau, e sobre um conjunto de quarteirões escolhidos pela sua representatividade. Sobre essa área de estudo, foram produzidos levantamentos fotográficos e desenhos das frentes de rua, indicadas as suas características (estado de conservação, número de pisos, usos atribuídos às construções e classificação das tipologias arquitetónicas) e foi elaborada uma proposta de regulamento técnico de apoio à gestão. O estudo realizado mostrou que, atualmente, verifica-se uma grande procura de residências e de espaços para comércio, e que os proprietários têm vindo a realizar obras sem o respeito pelas normas de reabilitação do património da Plateau. Isto tem causado a perda da originalidade arquitetónica. A proposta de estratégia elaborada pretende criar regras básicas para salvaguardar as construções de maior interesse e o caráter do conjunto. A estratégia elaborada, em forma de fichas desenhadas, poderá constituir uma mais-valia na salvaguarda das construções, na medida em que propõe que sejam respeitadas, quer as normas que constam do PDM da cidade da Praia, quer as normas de proteção do património arquitetónico.
The goal of this paper is to study urban intervention strategies, specifically covering the Historical Center of Praia, in Santiago, Cape Verde. During the year of 1520, the Plateau of the city of Praia started to become populated, this was due to its location and defensive advantage. But it was only until the XVII century that the city truly started to take form. The study and interpretation of previous cartography (dated back to the XVII century until the end of the XX century) were vital in understanding the urban evolution and the importance of urban form. Basing off of acquired information (using old cartography and more recent plans) and also following field studies performed in 2016, it was possible to organize data pertaining to the 475 constructions on the Plateau, as well as a compound of quarters chosen to give example. Under this area of study, photographic surveys were conducted, as well as drawing plans of the streets, displaying their characteristics (state of conservation, number of floors, the use for these constructions and the architectural classifications) as well as an administrative tecnical regulations proposal. The study conducted showed that, currently, there is high demand for residential and commercial space and also that proprietors have carried out constructions without respect to the architectural heritage of the Plateau, this has provoked the loss thereof. The strategic proposal designed intends to implement basic regulations aimed at proprietors and architects, to safeguard buildings of high interest and group character. The strategy designed, in form of drawed technical files, may present itself as a tremendous asset in the safeguarding of the character of the Plateau, requiring that the regulations instilled by the PDM of the city of Praia, as well as the regulations that protect the architectural heritage are respected.

Não obstante, por vezes foram esquecidas as suas ruas primitivas, bem como os elementos já existentes no espaço, tendo estes sido absorvidos pelos novos desenhos urbanos e pelo crescimento desmesurado. São os elementos novos que levaram a desvalorização dos centros históricos, que hoje se procura valorizar e melhorar. Nos dias de hoje, a reabilitação tem outro impacto, relativamente ao que ocorria no início do séc. XX. Já não se reabilita somente o que está edificado, mas também o espaço envolvente, a um nível urbano, tentando assim preservar a identidade de todo um local e não só de uma fachada. Nesta linha de pensamento, surge a presente proposta de reabilitação urbana para uma das ruas primitivas de Lisboa, configurando-a como um espaço de lazer urbano e uma nova fachada. O objeto de estudo é a reabilitação urbana da Rua da Fonte e o seu edifício de gaveto, situado em Carnide, uma das entradas mais antigas para o centro histórico desta freguesia. Carnide tem sofrido bastantes alterações ao longo dos últimos anos, principalmente na zona histórica, pelo que se objetiva a valorização desta entrada, que tem perdido a sua importância face ao crescimento urbano envolvente, de forma a dar uma nova vida a este espaço, a partir de intervenções de reabilitação e valorização do espaço e do edificado presente.

Now days, the reabilitation has another impact, comparing what use to happen in the begining of the XX century. The reabilitation is no longer restrict to what is built, but also to the envolving area, to an urban level, trying this way to preserve the identity of a whole space and not just a façade. In thiis line of thinking, emerges the present proposal of a urban reabilitation for one of the primitive street of Lisbon, configuring it as a new urban space and a façade.

Orientação: Clara GonçalvesA presente dissertação centra-se na reflexão sobre o potencial da arquitetura como fator fundamental para a criação de conforto e auxilio à cura em situação de enfermidade, em particular, instalações pediátricas. Propõe-se um Centro de internamento de reabilitação pediátrico em Portimão. O espaço proposto é pensado com a ligação ao Centro Hospitalar do Barlavento Algarvio e justificado com a sua necessidade evidente. Este trabalho tem como objetivo refletir, em que medida, pode o ambiente construído, contribuir para um melhor conforto, tanto físico, como psicológico, para os utilizadores destes espaços de saúde. Os espaços de saúde, apontam, nos dias de hoje, para um desenho direcionado para uma maior humanização. Neste sentido, a arquitetura deste tipo de programa ultrapassa a composição técnica, simples e formal dos ambientes. Relativamente ao serviço de Pediatria, há que compreender que as crianças e adolescentes hospitalizados apresentam necessidades específicas, não médicas, que precisam ser consideradas com a mesma importância. Este trabalho foi organizado em duas partes: a primeira parte define-se como um estudo de pesquisa sobre o tema proposto e a segunda parte é dedicada ao projeto. Na primeira parte abordam-se sobre três diferentes temáticas: no primeiro capítulo faz-se uma abordagem à evolução dos edifícios hospitalares ao longo da sua história, bem como às instalações pediátricas mais relevantes em Portugal; no segundo capítulo é abordado o serviço de medicina física e de reabilitação, em geral, e o serviço de medicina física e de reabilitação pediátrico, em particular, de modo a enquadrar o tema nos seus aspetos mais relevantes para o projeto de arquitetura; no terceiro capítulo é estudada a relação entre a arquitetura e, a psicologia o tema de destaque e por último, no quarto capítulo são abordados, no estudo de casos, dois edifícios com escalas e programas diferentes, mas ambos com a mesma relevância para a presente dissertação. A segunda parte é dedicada ao projeto, encontrando-se dividida por pontos considerados importantes para uma melhor compreensão.
This dissertation focuses on the observation of the potential of Architecture as a key factor for the creation of comfort and aid in healing disease situation, in particular, pediatric facilities. It is proposed a Relocation Center for Pediatric Rehabilitation in Portimão. The projected place is thought to connect the Hospital Center in Barlavento (Algarve western side), justified by its obvious need. This project aims to reflect on how a built environment can contribute to a better comfort, both physical and psychological, for the users of these health areas. Nowadays, Health Centers are pointing out for targeted projects concerning a greater humanization. In this sense, the architecture of this type of program exceeds the technical, simple and formal composition of this environments. Regarding Pediatric Services, it should be understood that the hospitalized children and adolescents have specific needs, not only medical, that need to be considered with the same importance. This work was organized in two parts: the first is defined as a research study on the suggested theme and the second is dedicated to the project itself. In the first part, it is discussed three different subjects: the first chapter is an approach to the evolution of hospital buildings throughout its history as well as the most relevant pediatric facilities in Portugal; in the second chapter, it is discussed the physical medicine and rehabilitation service, in general, and the physical medicine and pediatric rehabilitation services, in particular, in order to contextualize the issue in its most relevant aspects for the architectural design; in the third chapter it is studied the relationship between architecture and psychology (the prominent theme). Finally, in the fourth chapter it is discussed the case studies: two buildings with different scales and programs, but both with the same relevance for this dissertation. The second part is dedicated to the project, which is divided into important topics regarding a better comprehension.

Vieira de FariaA presente dissertação tem como objectivo central estudar a Cidade do Seixal, a qual, na sequência do colapso industrial que a afectou profundamente, enfrenta um processo de reconfiguração a nível territorial, social, económico e populacional nomeadamente nos seus núcleos históricos. Estas transformações resultam do novo paradigma de sociedade e, sobretudo, de uma nova economia agora global que está em curso. De facto, a sociedade contemporânea enfrenta novos desafios e mudanças contínuas em diversos sectores, em que o paradigma da mobilidade se torna um factor central do crescimento e ordenamento das cidades. Com a aproximação das metrópoles inteligentes, a cidade vê-se obrigada a profundas mudanças no território, em que importa analisar, neste caso, a chegada do Metropolitano Sul do Tejo como núcleo de ligação entre Lisboa e a Margem Sul, com o intuito de tornar esta cidade cada vez mais independente do automóvel e com melhores acessos às cidades vizinhas. Esta análise procura responder a algumas questões, nomeadamente ao que acontecerá no território devido à passagem do MST no concelho, como será a articulação das cidades de Almada, Seixal e Barreiro com esta inovação na mobilidade intermunicipal, e como funcionará a cidade do Seixal como uma cidade futura metrópole organizada em torno da Baía do Seixal. Perante a pesquisa efectuada para esta dissertação, pode-se afirmar que o MST irá gerar um novo ordenamento no território, que possibilita uma nova centralização da população nos núcleos urbanos antigos por se conseguirem deslocar de uma forma mais eficaz e rápida. Por outro lado, a cidade do Seixal como pólo das duas margens, fica fortemente relacionada e ligada a Lisboa pelo Rio Tejo, mas também com o Barreiro fazendo de charneira entre vários municípios com bastante potencial. Quanto à sua Baía, os diversos projectos de revitalização, valorização, e estratégicos conseguem dinamizar ainda mais o concelho e a Baía do Seixal.
This work has as main objective to study the Seixal City, which, following the industrial collapse was deeply affected. Nowadays is facing a process of reconfiguration territorial, social, economic and population, particularly in its historic core. These changes result from the new social paradigm, and especially now in a new global economy that is underway. Indeed, contemporary society is facing new challenges and ongoing changes in many sectors, in which the mobility paradigm becomes a central factor in the growth and improvement of towns. With the entry of intelligent cities, the city is seen obliged to profound changes in the territory, that will be examined in this case, the arrival of the South Tagus Metro as link core between Lisbon and the South Bank, in order to make this city increasingly independent of cars and with better access to neighboring cities. This analysis seeks to answer some questions, the issue of whether what will happen in the territory due to the passage of the MST in the county, as will be the articulation of the cities of Almada, Seixal and Barreiro with this innovation in inter-municipal mobility, and how will the city of Seixal as a city future metropolis organized around the Bay of Seixal. In view of the research for this thesis, it can be said that the MST will generate a new order in the territory, which enables a new centralisation of the population in old urban areas by if they can move more effectively and quickly. On the other hand, the city of Seixal as a center of the two banks is strongly related and linked to Lisbon by the Tagus River, but also with the Barreiro making hinge between several municipalities with plenty of potentials. As for its bay, the various revitalization projects, valuation and strategic can further streamline the county and the Bay of Seixal.

Orientação: Ana Maria Moya Pellitero ; co-orientação: Josué da Silva EliziárioO presente trabalho aborda o tema da reabilitação e reconversão de um edifício industrial, a antiga Fábrica da Cerveja, localizada no centro histórico de Faro (Vila-Adentro), no Algarve. O desafio de investigar e projetar num contexto urbano de carácter industrial cada vez mais abordado em arquitetura, prevê a descentralização de núcleos anteriormente ativos, que hoje faz repensar e criar uma nova dinamização e nova centralidade ativa na cidade. A importância destes espaços de cidade marcam a identidade e décadas de produtividade de uma comunidade, hoje são edifícios fantasma que envelhecem sem qualquer utilização, mas com grande potencialidade de adaptação a novos usos devido a sua tipologia. O edifício em estudo torna-se um caso particular no Algarve devido a este ter sido construído numa zona industrial dentro do perímetro amuralhado do centro histórico de Faro precisamente onde “foi” construído o antigo castelo, estando perante uma dupla identidade marcada pela história. Pretende-se realizar um estudo de investigação histórica e urbana da estrutura da cidade e da adaptação do edifício neste contexto. Repensar um programa adequado para resolver fragilidades sociais e económicas da cidade, investigando conteúdos programáticos que complementem princípios básicos de vida como trabalhar, habitar e lazer. O conteúdo programático incide sobre a potencialização de conteúdos culturais de modo a explorar a exequibilidade de uma utilização de produção e exposição de cultura, anexando uma percentagem de habitação temporária que suporte e dê condições de vida e facilidade de permanência aos utilizadores da parte de produção. O tema da reabilitação pretende ter uma abordagem cuidada respeitando referências e elementos arquitetónicos existentes que poderão ser aspetos de relevo a evidenciar do ponto de vista do projeto, tanto como património industrial ou património histórico ocultado. Por fim pretende-se que um edifício de valor histórico e industrial da Vila Adentro desempenhe um papel fundamental para o rejuvenescimento do núcleo histórico potencializando uma nova centralidade na cidade.
This work discusses the rehabilitation and conversion of Fábrica da Cerveja (Beer Factory), an old industrial building, located in the historical center of Faro (Vila-Adentro) in Algarve. The challenge of researching and designing an urban context of industrial nature it has been increasingly addressed in architecture and provides for the decentralization of the previously active cores, which today it helps to rethink and create new dynamics and a new active centrality in the city. The importance of these spaces of the city marks the identity and decades of productivity of a community, which are now ghost buildings that age without any use, but with great potential to adapt to new uses due to their tipology. The building under study represent a particular case of double identity marked by history due to the fact that it has been built in an industrial zone within the walled perimeter of the historical center of Faro precisely where the old castle stood. It is intended to conduct a research study of the historical and urban structure of the city and the adaptation of the building in this context by rethinking a suitable program to solve social and economic weaknesses of the city, investigating syllabus that complement basic lefe principles as work, habitation and leisure. The programmatic content focuses on the enhancement of cultural content in order to explore the feasibility of using production and exhibition of culture, attaching a percentage of temporary housing that supports and gives living conditions and ease of residence to users of production. The rehabilitation theme has a careful approach respecting the architectural references and elements existing in the side that may be relevant to show the point of view of the project, both of the industrial and hidden historical heritage. Ultimately is intended that a building of historical and industrial value inside Vila Adentro might play an essential role in the rejuvenation of the historic core, enabling a new city centrality.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a biographical study of Erika Theron (1907-1990), an Afrikaner woman who played a significant role in many aspects of public life in South Africa in a critical time in the country‘s history. The study seeks to give recognition to her achievements, which have received scant attention in a historiography with a masculine bias. At the same time it examines her changing role from collaborator to critic of the apartheid system.
Certain defining features of Theron‘s life have been highlighted. First, Theron grew up in a staunchly Afrikaner nationalist, service-oriented family which encouraged loyalty to her own people and civic responsibility. Second, she was unusual among Afrikaner women of her generation, in that she was highly educated, independent and ready to assume leadership roles. She became a pioneer in a number of fields, attaining high professional rank and holding important public offices – frequently as the first woman to do so in the country.
The thesis focuses on five areas of Theron‘s public life. After returning from post-graduate studies abroad, she worked with Hendrik Verwoerd in the campaign to uplift poor whites, particularly the rehabilitation and re-integration of the Afrikaner poor. She thereafter commenced a long career as a social work academic, which included a number of milestones for her new discipline, for the profession of social work and for the advancement of women in academia. From the 1950s she served on the town council of Stellenbosch, including terms as deputy mayor and mayor. She played an important role in historic conservation but was also instrumental in the rigorous institution of apartheid structures in the town during the early days of National Party rule. In the early 1970s she served as chairman of the Commission of Enquiry into Coloured Affairs which influenced her personal views on the country‘s race policies. She became a public critic of many aspects of the apartheid system and vocal advocate for coloured rights.History
