Projeto de Intervenção numa construção preexistente na margem do Rio Douro

Abstract

This dissertation results from the opportunity to develop an intervention project in a pre-existing construction located on the banks of the Douro River, in Zebreiros, Gondomar. The work was structured around the development of a project for a single-family home, intended to be used on holiday periods, with the objective of deepening the knowledge around the domestic program, as well as reflecting on a set of themes that proved fundamental for its realization. Throughout the process, in order to create a knowledge base that informed the design, the ideas and the proposed solution, some single-family house projects that correspond to different approaches to the domestic program were analyzed. From this set of references, it is intended to comprehend relevant questions to the context of the project to be developed, such as: the program; principles of site placement; integration and dialogue with the landscape; spatial sequences and contemplative spaces; the role of natural light, among others. The Zebreiros House is the object of this study and made it possible to test a set of themes that were significant after the analysis of the site, its context and its constraints. The project presented corresponds to a synthesis of the process.
