Abstract(s)
O presente relatório, para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Arquitetura Paisagista pela Universidade do Algarve, pretende apresentar o trabalho de estágio profissional desenvolvido e a experiência adquirida na empresa PROJECTANGRA, sediada em Angra do Heroísmo, Ilha Terceira, Região Autónoma dos Açores. O tema de investigação, durante o estágio, focou-se na identidade regional e na sua aplicação na arquitetura paisagista praticada nos Açores. As caraterísticas que podem ser considerados particulares e/ou únicas das paisagens açorianas estão intrinsecamente ligados à insularidade atlântica e vulcânica, ou seja, particularidades de natureza biofísica (a geologia e geomorfologia, os solos e clima, a vegetação e a fauna), a que se associam usos do solo históricos (e atuais), padrão de povoamento, valores culturais e patrimoniais próprios, e respetivos significados atribuídos. Todavia, é escassa a informação disponível sobre elementos do caráter identitário da paisagem açoriana e existe muito pouca informação disponível sobre o modo como a identidade da paisagem açoriana tem sido considerada na intervenção na paisagem praticada nesta região autónoma. Apresenta-se um projeto de execução realizado durante o estágio – Projeto de Requalificação do Passeio Marítimo dos Biscoitos. O desenvolvimento deste projeto correspondeu à concretização da possibilidade de aplicação dos resultados da pesquisa efetuada sobre o caráter identitário da paisagem açoriana, no design de uma intervenção numa paisagem local de elevado valor patrimonial (natural e histórico-cultural). Evidencia-se a falta de disponibilidade de plantas das espécies de vegetação autóctone dos Açores para utilização em intervenções da paisagem.
This report, to obtain the Master's degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Algarve, aims to present the professional internship work developed and the experience acquired in the company PROJECTANGRA, based in Angra do Heroísmo, Terceira Island, Autonomous Region of the Azores. The research theme, during the internship, focused on regional identity and its application in landscape architecture practiced in the Azores. The characteristics that can be considered particular and/or unique of the Azorean landscapes are intrinsically linked to the Atlantic and volcanic insularity, that is, particularities of a biophysical nature (geology and geomorphology, soils and climate, vegetation and fauna), which historical (and current) land uses, settlement patterns, cultural and heritage values, and the respective assigned meanings are associated. However, there is little information available on elements of the identity or character of the Azorean landscape and there is very little information available on how the identity of the Azorean landscape has been considered in the intervention in the landscape practiced in this autonomous region. An execution project carried out during the internship is presented – Project for the Requalification of the Biscoitos Seaside Promenade. The development of this project corresponded to the application of the results obtained by the research on the identity character of the Azorean landscape, in the design of an intervention in a high heritage value local landscape (natural and historical-cultural). This work highlights the lack of Azores native vegetation species available for use in landscape interventions.
