\/>10-17.07.2021<\/p><p>Coordination: <br \/>Paulo Moreira<\/p><p>Tutors: <br \/>Paulo Moreira, Tiago Antero<\/p><p>The \u2018Bairro do Leal Appropriation\u2019 workshop is part of an endeavour to raise awareness of the precarious nature of life in Porto\u2019s urban interstices. The neighbourhood\u2019s obsolescence and expectant character offered a starting point for reflecting on, designing and transforming a concrete place over a period of one week.<\/p><p>Social interaction between the team of young participants and the local residents played a key role in the architectural action. Following visits and discussions, a fenced off plot that had been abandoned for years and was once occupied by houses was identified as an intervention site. The absence of a green space for public use in the area was another reason for salvaging and improving the plot. Via a participatory process of self-building, the plot was appropriated and revitalised.<\/p><p>The first step was to remove the fence around the plot and to tame the wild, unkempt vegetation. This revealed the site\u2019s physical and topographic characteristics: its slope; the concrete joists marking its outer edges; the \u2018amphitheatre\u2019 created by piles of granite rubble from the former houses; the butchered trunk of a eucalyptus tree; the leafy lemon tree; the gable of the neighbouring house; the ruins still standing and the makeshift shelters for stray cats (the site\u2019s only \u2018residents\u2019).<\/p><p>In the next step, scale models and designs were produced to explore ways of appropriating the plot via small-scale actions and constructions that would foster new uses. The process was interspersed with talks by speakers with experience of participatory projects and self-building initiatives in vulnerable neighbourhoods in different contexts, and critiques with guests whose knowledge shaped our approach to the evolving project.<\/p><p>A series of operations with different scopes and scales was launched, based on our ongoing presence at the site. The intention was to use the entire plot to create a new \u2018house\u2019 with different \u2018rooms\u2019 suited to different functions. A small stage was built to supplement the \u2018amphitheatre\u2019, providing opportunities for small events, performances and meetings to be held. Using wooden beams on the flattest part of the plot, a structure to provide shade was built along with benches and a large table to encourage people to meet for gatherings and meals. A rest area was created in the shade of the lemon tree; shelters for cats were renovated; a former kitchen was given a new use as a support area for events, and the fence that had been removed was repositioned in the middle of the plot, symbolically evoking the trunk of the eucalyptus.<\/p><p>New and old elements were painted in the same colours as the adjoining houses (beige and red), lending a sense of continuity to the site and embodying the intention to extend it into Bairro do Leal and establish a dialogue with the surrounding area.<\/p><p>The workshop ended with a gathering with residents, neighbours and participants, which included performances, graffiti, food and an open-air cinema session. At the event, residents were invited to look after and appropriate the plot.<\/p><p>In subsequent weeks, neighbours created their own \u2018urban furniture\u2019, restored a concealed floor, planted a variety of plant species and laid out small stones to give a sense of belonging. Months after our intervention, the municipal gardening team regularly visits and cleans the plot. The new local dynamics are illustrative of the positive impact that small-scale actions can have in improving degraded or unused areas within the city.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Coordination: Paulo Moreira<br \/>Tutors: Paulo Moreira, Tiago Antero<\/p><p>Tours: S\u00e9rgio Fernandez, Pedro Figueiredo<br \/>Lectures: Alberto Pottenghi, Elisa Silva<br \/>Critics: Maria Trabulo, Jo\u00e3o Nuno Gomes<\/p><p>Participants: Marco Tavares, Bruna Castan, Isadora Crespo, Joyceline Teixeira, Margarida Alexandre, Guilherme Ad\u00e3o, Larissa Miranda, Tom\u00e1s Abelha, S\u00edlvia Gon\u00e7alves, Maria Novais, Richard Meszaros<\/p><p>Design: Studio P\u00ea<br \/>Production: INSTITUTO<br \/>Production assistance: Joana Gra\u00e7a<br \/>Press: Rita Neves<br \/>Photography: INSTITUTO, Ivo Tavares<\/p><p>Support: DGArtes\/Ministry of Culture, \u00c1gora - Cultura e Desporto, OASRN, Porto Design Biennale, Invenio Engenharia, Sotinco<\/p>\",\r\n          \"align\": \"middle\",\r\n          \"row\": -1,\r\n          \"col\": 0,\r\n          \"colspan\": 6,\r\n          \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n          \"offsety\": 0,\r\n          \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n          \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n          \"yvel\": 1,\r\n          \"push\": 0,\r\n          \"relid\": 4\r\n        }\r\n      ],\r\n      \"align\": \"top\",\r\n      \"row\": 0,\r\n      \"col\": 6,\r\n      \"colspan\": 6,\r\n      \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n      \"offsety\": 0,\r\n      \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n      \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n      \"yvel\": 1,\r\n      \"push\": 0,\r\n      \"relid\": 6\r\n    }\r\n  ]\r\n}","phonegrid":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oinstituto.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oinstituto.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oinstituto.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oinstituto.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oinstituto.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=718"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/oinstituto.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oinstituto.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oinstituto.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oinstituto.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oinstituto.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
