Il distretto di Marvila è situato nella parte Orientale di Lisbona, tra il centro storico e l’area dell’Expo 98. L’area è caratterizzata da costruzioni di residenza popolare risalenti agli anni 60/70, da numerosi vuoti urbani conquistati da una vegetazione spontanea e rigogliosa, da un morfologia del territorio irregolare e contrassegnato da un sovrapporsi di memorie e identità: la più antica è quella rurale delle Quintas (abitazioni di villeggiatura della nobiltà Lisboeta), quella successiva conventuale e monastica, sostituita nello scorso secolo da una industriale e produttiva. Marvila, abitata da una popolazione costituita da classi a basso e medio reddito, risulta carente nella qualità dello spazio pubblico e mal collegata con il resto della città a causa di un’importante disomogeneità tra la pianificazione urbana a scala cittadina e quella locale. L’obiettivo di questa tesi è la valorizzazione e la salvaguardia dello spazio naturale e dei luoghi della memoria locale, preservandoli dalla speculazione edilizia, dal degrado e dall’abbandono, creando una nuova identità locale tra gli abitanti di Marvila. Tale strategia prevede due macro fasi: la la protezione delle aree verdi e la valorizzazione della memoria locale. La prima fase coinvolge le autorità amministrative locali: il proposito è quello di ampliare i confini del Parco Urbano di Bela Vista, integrando le circostanti aree verdi spontanee e quelle di natura agricola, dando così vita ad un nuovo grande polmone verde. La seconda fase comporta la valorizzazione della memoria architettonica locale (Quintas, conventi e industrie) e dell’antica rete stadale (Azinhagas), spesso in forte stato di degrado o abbandono. Il processo progettuale mira a coinvolgere attivamente la comunità e le associazioni rappresentanti dei cittadini. L’obiettivo è quello di attivare la rovina e lo spazio che la circonda, transformandoli in hubs urbani capaci di educare ad un rinnovato senso di comunità, attraverso interventi di scale e tipologie differenti, seguendo la strategia definita con il termine Tactical Urbanism. L’identificazione dell’eredità architettonica e la riconnessione della rete stradale storica, crea un percorso culturale nel paesaggio rurale, agricolo e industriale, raccontandone e esaltandone la memoria locale, sia alla popolazione Marvilense, sia ai visitatori interessati ad una Lisbona che non si trova nelle guide turistiche, ma non per questo meno interessante e ricca.

Abstract
The Marvila district is located in the eastern part of Lisbon, between the historic centre and the area of the Expo 98. It is characterized by social housing buildings dated 1960/70 and a variety of urban voids where spontaneous and lush vegetation grows, by an irregular terrain morphology and marked by overlapped historical heritage and identity: the rural and agricultural memory represented by the Quintas buildings (Lisbon nobility’s holiday houses), the conventual and monastic patrimony and the industrial and productive heritage. The district, inhabited by low-income classes, lacks in the quality of public space and it is poorly connected with the rest of the city as it manifests an important unevenness in urban planning. This thesis aims to enhance and safeguard the natural environment and the places of local memory, preserving them from speculation, degradation and abandonment, creating a new local identity among the inhabitants of Marvila. The urban strategy involves two macro phases: the protection of green areas and the enhancement of the local memory. The first phase involves the action of local administrative authorities: the purpose is to widen the boundaries of the Bela Vista Urban Park, integrating the surrounding green and agricultural areas, thus giving life to a new urban green lung. The second phase involves the local heritage composed of buildings (Quintas, convents and industries) and old streets (Azinhagas), often in an advance state of decay or neglected. The actions required at this phase are map-making, the assignment of a new function and their connection through a cultural path. The process aims to actively involve the community and associations of citizens in the design process. The goal is to activate the ruins and their surroundings transforming them into an urban-hubs capable of educating to a renewed sense of community through different typological approaches and multi scales interventions, following the approach of Tactical Urbanism. The architectural heritage identification and connection through the historical road network, create a cultural path in the rural-agricultural-industrial landscape which enhance and narrates the local history, both to the Marvilense population, both visitors interested in a Lisbon that is not found in tourist guides, but for this reason no less interesting and meaningful.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
