COLLECTIVE HOUSING
LISBOA - Portugal
All ve buildings share the same underground parking area (9002 m
2
),
with three common entrances from Rua do Alecrim, while a circular ramp
guarantees the connection between the various oors.
The building has a reinforced concrete structure, made up of columns and
continuous, mushroom-shaped slabs.
On the basement level, the perimeter walls will be constructed according
to the berlinesque shoring system with drained air cavity and double
interior brick wall to avoid eventual inltrations.
The construction above grade will have brick walls with air cavity and
thermal insulation.
The interior partitions will be brick to plaster and paint.
The roofs will be at, waterproofed and thermally insulated with an
inverted roof system.
On Rua do Alecrim, exterior nish of the buildings will be Lioz stone up
to the last oor of ofce or commercial spaces, and the remaining levels,
which correspond to housing units, will be nished in tile. The buildings
bordering Rua Antnio Maria Cardoso will have a Lioz stone base until
the rst housing level and balconies of the buildings. The remaining wall
surfaces will be nished in tile.
The exterior windows are double, in enameled wood, with interior shutters
for solar protection.
The housing, service and commercial complex Terraos de Bragana
occupies a parcel of nearly 5000 m
2
situated between Antnio Maria
Cardoso and Alecrim, which arises in a perfectly consolidated area, like
an interval that needs to be lled.
Care was taken to establish a dialogue with the environment to nd the
rst motivations for the denition of the project; as well as to make a
conscientious reading of the terrain, its topography, and the footprints left
by those who had lived there and given it meaning. Those footprints trace
back at least to the beginning of the14th century, the period of completion
of the Muralla Fernandina city wall.
The construction of this defense structure clearly dened the border of
the metropolis, reinforcing what once was a natural border - the strong
existing slope in the terrain, previously assumed as the limit of the wall of
the Convent of San Francisco da Cidade, from the 13th century (a Convent
whose building still exists today and houses the Escola Superior de Belas
Artes). These grounds had gradually been urbanized, on both the inside
and the outside of the city walls, building new roads and buildings on the
summit of the hillside, such as the palace of the Dukes of Bragana and,
later, the Jansen Beer Factory
The demolitions carried out on the site twenty years ago had left a section
of the city wall exposed, nowadays clearly visible, along with the tower
and the extreme southwest access door to the city, as well as an ensemble
of brick foundations which presumably belonged to the Jansen Beer
Factory.
This ensemble sensibly divides the terrain in half longitudinally and parallel
to the roads which, in the meantime had been opened: Rua Antnio Maria
Cardoso, on the inside, above, and Rua do Alecrim on the lower side. This
topological, geographical and historical fragmentation which divides the
terrain in two, connecting the parts parallel to the access roads, is adopted
by the project, both in morphological and programmatic terms.
In this way, an ensemble of three buildings has been built on the terrain
which borders the Rua do Alecrim, each facing the street and 15,5m in
depth. The program is also similar: the ground oors (1 or 2 depending on
the case) are intended for commerce, while the upper oors for ofces and
housing. On the high part of the site, the area which borders Rua Antnio
Maria Cardoso, two residential buildings were constructed. The two
buildings contact the ground through columns, separated from each other
by a large distance, dened to preserve the existing ruins of the Muralla
Fernandina (city wall), historical testimony which greatly increases the
value of the terrain. According to the previous inquiries made to IPPARNT,
this will become a museum area, integrated in the open space of the
housing and open to the public.
