A Marginal de Leça da Palmeira: deambulações no tempo e pelo espaço, rumo à “artequitetura” de Siza
| Resumo: | This article analyses the historical, urban, and architectural evolution of the Leça da Palmeira waterfront (Portugal), from the 19th century to the present, focusing on the impact of the Port of Leixões and the seminal intervention by architect Álvaro Siza Vieira. Through a diachronic approach, the authors explore how a coastal landscape initially deȎned by Ȏshing and bourgeois leisure was transformed by port and industrial infrastructures, culminating in Siza’s urban plan (1960–1984). The text also addresses contemporary challenges, including the decommissioning of the Sacor Oil ReȎnery (2021) and tensions between heritage preservation and new land uses, highlighting the fragile boundary between natural and humanized space. |
