O projecto de um equipamento, como estratégia e instrumento de estruturação e qualificação urbana. Stockholm Wood Factory, um projecto entre a cidade e a linha de água

Abstract

The present Master degree in Architecture thesis abords as central problematic the public space, from its relation with architecture, staring the hypothesis that a project of a public equipment can constitute an opportunity of urban qualification. Such hypothesis is in the core of the development of a project for a Workshop Center in Stockholm, within the medieval center of the city, Gamla Stan, as a scope to answer an international architectural competition named "#StockholmCall", launched in september 2nd 2019. Thus, under the pretext and alongside the project, for a public equipment, we have developed a discourse about the possibilty of an equipment be apart of a strategy and a privileged instrument for the urban structuring and qualification. The relationship between achitecture and public space, hence, a city, appears as a premise, as a support and foundation for the proposed project, from which we have developed a theoretical reflexion around the enunciated problematic, looking to identify a set of authors and architects that we defined as a reference.
