O Outeirinho da Quintã - Reconstrução da Quinta do Outeirinho, Cidade da Lixa

Abstract

This dissertation, titled "O Outeirinho da Quintã - Reconstrução da Quinta do Outeirinho, Cidade da Lixa", (O Outeirinho da Quintã - Reconstruction of Quinta do Outeirinho, Lixa City), seeks to respond to the problem of architectural intervention in a rural context. The main objective of the intervention proposal is to transform a former drydock into a nursing home, based on the pre-existence analysis. In this approach to the place of intervention, a previous study is carried out for the edified set, defining a program and enhancing the future approach focused mainly on the link between the past and present, and the future, the rural and the city of today. This process is exposed in a theoretical-practical approach divided into two parts: Circumstance, thematic and context (theory) and Project (practical). Through this structure, the potentialities of the site and the personal motivations, as well as the pre-existence constraints, become known and evidenced.
