To dwell Alcácer do Sal: dialectics of the wall
Abstract
Como elemento incontornável na definição da imagem
e forma da paisagem, bem como instrumento que molda,
organiza e hierarquiza o Homem tanto em relação ao território
como em relação ao seu semelhante, o muro é, como figura
de pensamento um elemento bastante rico.
A reflexão teórica deste trabalho, procura interpretar o
elemento muro como conceito geral, identificando-o nos
seus vários conceitos e estereotomias, (muro, parede,
muralha, barreira) ao mesmo tempo que procura interpretar
o simbolismo inerente às suas várias e distintas interacções
com o Homem e com a paisagem, tendo por base os conceitos
de superfície, enclosure e divisão.
A proposta de projecto, tendo como caso de estudo a
cidade de Alcácer do Sal, pretende o redesenho da sua linha
marginal, e surge como resultado de uma leitura cuidadosa da
génese da cidade. Partindo do conceito de limite, pretende
trabalhar o sistema urbano da cidade no encontro com as
características paisagísticas do lugar.
As an indisputable element in the definition of the form and image of the landscape, as well as an instrument, which organizes and hierarchizes Man both in relation to the territory as well as to his similar, the wall is, as a figure of thought, a very rich element. This thesis’s theoretical reflection intends to interpret the wall as a general concept, identifying its various meanings shapes and manifestations, while at the same it reflects on the different symbolical meanings inherent to its various and distinct interactions with Man and with the landscape, under the concepts of surface, enclosure and division. The project proposal consists in reshaping Alcácer’s shoreline, and starting from the concept of boundary, intends to explore the relation between the city’s urban system and the characteristics of the surrounding landscape.
