Ao encontro do espaço partilhado: a reconfiguração da habitação popular analisada a partir do caso do Bairro Ignez, na cidade do Porto

Abstract

The work was developed within this Dissertation, intends to resurrect the concept of sharing, implementing it in incessant theme of rehabilitation. When talking about shared space we inevitably entered a taboo subject of architecture, the concept of community. The text produced aims to demystify the different notions that the word "community" implies, realizing how it can take best advantage. This theme has the intention to highlight the individual as the core of the issue, its relationship with the architecture and how it can be beneficial in improving the living conditions, often precarious and lonely. Then we can explain that it is a text with a strong relationship to the subject of sociology, emphasizing human relations as a trigger the practice of architecture. Bairro Ignez, in general, meets all predicates to be set as an example of this complex spatial and social. The notion of sharing is rooted in the family that this provides, where mutual aid becomes a key aspect to the livelihoods of some. The approach is to relate the theme of "sharing" with the space, where architecture becomes central to the well being of those who live there - for who arrives, but especially for those who stayed.
