Os Concursos de Lordelo do Ouro: Formas de Viver. Análises das propostas elaboradas para os Três Concursos de Lordelo do Ouro

Abstract

Housing is a citizen's right, and it is from it that cities develop and expand in order to solve existing social, economic and territorial problems. Based on this premise, in 2020 Porto City Council launched a competition for three buildings in Lordelo do Ouro. The aim is to reurbanize the Lordelo area by erecting a total of five buildings, in an attempt to solve part of the city's housing shortage through affordable construction. By studying the different parameters that make up the tender program, we will be presenting the different proposals from the competitors. Thus, a summary of the competition will be created, using the key points of the competition and organizing it from a general to a particular view, in order to understand how the different competitors responded to the initiative, taking into account the restrictions that lowcost housing construction brings, but never putting aside aspects such as the dayto- day life of the future inhabitant, urban contextualization and typological and morphological innovation. This analysis will go through an initial historical contextualization that frames the emergence of the competition and explores a specific case study - Bairro da Pasteleira. This is followed by an exposition of the program and a study of the proposals, looking at the layouts, types of access, typologies and, finally, in conclusion, the minutes taken by the competition juries.
