EASTERN LISBON- PORTUGAL

MASTER THESIS IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE 2017/2018 INSTITUTO SUPERIOR DE AGRONOMIA

The aim of this work was to create a Strategic Plan for the industrial zone of eastern Lisbon with the support of the LCA methodology. Landscape Character Assessment is a process of systematic description, classification and analysis of the landscape in arder to identify, describe and understand it's character. The in-depth study of the Landscape Character Assessment made it possible to verify the importance in informing judgements and decision-making concerning the management of change in the landscape. Finally, the Landscape Character Assessment is applied to the practical case of Eastern Lisbon followed by a proposal of a Strategy Plan for the requalification of this area. 4

REMNIKU, PEIPSI LAKE- ESTONIA

INDIVIDUAL WORK |OUTDOOR RECREATION PLANNING AND DESIGN 2015/2016 ESTONIAN UNIVERSITY OF LIFE SCIENCES

Straddling the Estonian-Russian border, Lake Peipsi is the 5th largest lake in Europe. This area had popular resorts during Soviet times but many of them have been left to crumble and very few new developments have taken their place. Due to the abundance of phosphorous and nitrogen compounds bought it by the rivers Emajogi and Velikaya the water in Peipsi lake suffers from eutrophication. Another hazard is the pollution caused by two major thermal power stations, which use the lake to cool down their steam machines.

ECOLOGICAL INTERVENTION When it comes to water quality, riparian areas are the last line of defense for water thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running off the land into lakes and streams. It is essencial that appropriate land use practices are used to maintain or enhance their functions and value.

Pathways

The creation of wildlife habitats by providing corridors for it's movement is also an important step along side with the implementation of faxines. For the dunar system ,the use of palisades is a technique that stops the blowing sand and stabilizes the soil. Dunar species are planted inside the squares of palisades. 11

QUINTA DAS CONCHAS E LILASES- LISBOA

GROUP WORK | CULTURAL LANDSCAPE RESTORATION AND MANAGEMENT 2014/2015 INSTITUTO SUPERIOR DE AGRONOMIA - VIBEIRAS AWARD 2015

Quinta das Conchas and Lilases was originally, in the XVIII century, a farm that belonged to the aristocracy in the border of Lisbon. Over time various amendments have been made to the original Plan. It was been recovered nowadays as a public park located in Lumiar, in the eastern area of Lisbon. The Recovery Plan proposed took into account the different historical layers and also the fact that the park is located in a large area of direct recharge of aquifers.

The first step of this work consisted in the determination of the Main Ecological Structure for the municipality of Almada, through the analysis of the terrain morphology, permeability, soil ecological value and vegetation with potential value. In the second phase an image plan of the municipality of Almada was developed that represents a potential scenario for the land occupation in 20 years.

TERRAÇOS DA PONTE- SACAVÉM

INDIVIDUAL WORK | EXECUTION PLAN IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE 2014/2015 Instituto Superior de Agronomia

This intervention consists of the recovery of the existing green area integrated in the urbanization Terraços da Ponte in Sacavém. The urbanization is located at the limit of the city of Lisbon with good sun exposure and view over the Tagus River and the Vasco da Gama bridge. The intervention strategy was thought up in this context and rethinks the urban and living relation between the city and the Tagus river.

ALFAMA NEIGHBOURHOOD- LISBOA

GROUP WORK | URBAN PLANING HISTORY 2014/2015 INSTITUTO SUPERIOR DE AGRONOMIA

Alfama is one Lisbon’s oldest neighborhoods divided according to the topography. The top of the hill near the Sao Jorge castle is called Graça and down by the river it’s the heart of Alfama. Medieval alleys and outstanding views where the narrow and steep streets lead to an amazing river view.

URBAN LAYOUT In a city usualy prevails the original urban layout or paths better than the buildings. In Alfama the urban layout itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoroughly linked with the topography, creating streets that follow the water lines. But the same layout is also linked with architectural features that compose the urban space. Buildings are responsible for forming the layout as well the squares, unique buildings and the conection from this neighborhood to other points and directions of the city.

URBAN FABRIC To understand a city itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to go through itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s form and structure. The difference between cities should be possible to distinguish by reading how the elements are organized in order to create the urban space. By knowing that, this study begins with the understanding of it's fabric and how this structures are connected.

THE BLOCK Block can be defined as a building cluster in a “closed system”, with different disposal forms and seperated from other clusters, limited by roads or streets In this case study the block is defined only by the building and it's facades. The blocks are rich because of it’s diversity type of building from diferent historical periods, that were able to adjust to the existing space.

THE SQUARE The squares are the common meeting point for the Mediterranean culture. They are places of cultural and social economic exchange. For centuries they were the citie's heart into opposition with the narrow and dark streets. One of the main Alfama’s squares has as center point the S. Miguel church built in XII century.

THE STREET It can be both a meeting point or a connection to other urban spaces. It has a great importance regarding itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s morphological richness of the urban fabric besides the toponymic diversity. In fact the toponymic results from the meaning for the community who lives there.

The first impression of Alfamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighborhood besides the narrow and steep streets and the size of the buildings when compared with other parts of Lisbon, is the huge difference of light exposure that takes place inside it. At first thought the streets south-facing and next to the have more light, but but in this case they are swallowed in shade by the surrounding buildings. On the other hand, streets even if they are narrower have much more light due

river should and immersed longitudinal to the hill.

This idea was the starting point to create a three graded grey map, to represent the feeling of the place. The darkest grey colour represents alleys and back or really narrow streets. The medium grey colour represents places that can be very dark or have a lot of light depending of the time of day. Finally the lighter grey represents places that have high incidence of sunlight throughout all day. 35
