Abstract(s)
With this assignment one intends to deepen the knowledge on the old Convent of
Our Lady of the Assumption, which was erected in the first decades of the
fourteenth century in the city of Faro; and, based on this analysis, to contribute
for the elaboration of a proposal for the qualification and enlargement of the
museum installed there.
The study has been divided in two parts: the first one focusing on several
elements, such as the Regra de Santa Clara (Saint Claire's Rule), as definer of
the rules that may be translated not only in the architecture but also in the
commissioning; the patronage; the different phases of construction; the formal
characterization of the various conventual spaces and the community?s way of
life.
The second part is dedicated to the adaptation of the old convent to a museum.
Here, one analyses the different perspectives that have reflected on this issue;
from the first adaptation in the sixth decade of the twentieth century, under the
responsibility of Direcao Geral dos Edifícios e Monumentos Nacionais, going
through the practical solution by Pinheiro e Rosa in 1981, and the Concurso
Público Internacional para Remodulação e Ampliação do Museu de Faro in
2000, up to the proposal in 2006.
