Quinta da Vila: Projeto e património humano, produtivo e construído
| Summary: | This assignment develops an architectural proposal for a singular confluence in terms of economic activity and the natural heritage and construction of the "Quinta da Vila", a property located in the district of Porto, in Lousada. From this case study, its framing is researched according to a new paradigm linked to the wine tourism route - with an intervention that allows the conservation and conversion of its function. This seeks a balanced resolution proposal, between the current function - housing, storage and cultivation of the vineyard, with a tourist function within the "vinho verde" wine route. While on the one hand it is important to maximize space economically, one could not neglect all issues related to the natural, built, cultural and social heritage, as well as the existing human relations. From the outset, the diversity of spaces and its potential would allow the farm to gain dynamics that embraces the various aspects of wine tourism. For the achievement of this purpose, there has been launched a strategy of valorization, rehabilitation and qualification of the farm, in a project. The proposed intervention will contribute, on the one hand, for the preservation of the building that is nowadays degraded and, on the other hand, for the economic, productive and social level which would be an asset as a tourist attraction in the region, creating an important dynamic, both for the local economy and the projection of this region externally. We believe that the relevance of the present assignment may lie in the various contributions for a better knowledge of the region and its heritage values (architectural, landscape, productive, social, tourism, economic, among others) without failing to indicate a path based on a general project of rehabilitation. This work is also positioned as an essay or reference base to support other interventions in the region, taking into account the balance between human, productive and built heritage. |
