Marginal ArchitectureHow Will We Live Together?-A Process under Construction

摘要

The organization of territory and cities is a structuring element for the management of epidemic crises.The existence of basic sanitary structures is,nowadays,an acquired and determined factor for the healthiness of territories,as well as for the structural contribution to the well-being of the populations.Since the 19th century epidemic crises established health parameters for Architecture and Urbanism,which are still a reference today.Almost after one hundred years,where the questions of salubrity were supposed to be consolidated,we find that,suddenly,without advice,new alarm bells ring:we found that the world was not prepared to be closed in its“housing units”.Assuming Portimão as an urban laboratory and as a waterfront city,we will present the studies that were developed by students in workshops context,searching for contemporary solutions,considering nowadays ecological and Architectural concerns,having in mind concepts of sustainability,reuse and recycling.
