Habitação intergeracional nas Avenidas Novas em Lisboa

: vivência e partilha de espaços

Abstract

This paper focuses on the issue of improving the existing city and how architecture can articulate and contribute to notions such as city, society, public space and housing. The demand for better city can be performed with proposals that demonstrate new logic or points of interest in the city, taking as study area the Town of New Avenues in Lisbon. The work is part of following the proposal of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, which aims to improve the parish to which it belongs under the project "Our Km2." So the understanding and knowledge of a consolidated existing city is crucial to address some of their issues, creating new experiences through routes / ramps, connections, connections. However the analysis of the urban fabric of this parish of Lisbon has a striking appearance in the stages of their growth over time: the existence of a physical barrier rail. It will correspond to the focus of intervention, proposing pedestrian and bike bridges that promote cultural and socio-economic merger of the territory, while real objective and concrete. Looking to population aging and mobility in the city as a reality to which we can not escape, it will be of utmost necessity give a nice contribution to the new logical use of space in the city, due to the reality of our times. Due to the existence of several university centers and the problem of solitary elderly, intergenerational housing will be the theme that aims to deepen, trying to create spaces that can be enjoyed by all; and for this to succeed, all project scales will be addressed in conceptual line that goes from the city to the building. The proposal aims to create local transparency and fluidity in passing, with several areas where the social space and penetrates lives, living with the private and thus create new perceptions sensitive in the urban landscape.
