| dc.description.abstract | "Someone who has been to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, has seen at least one abandoned building, particularly while walking around the city center. [...] Analysing the problem with abandoned buildings in Lisbon should help understand the source of this problem that most Portuguese people would like to see being taken care of. At the same time, offering a solution for these unutilised buildings by turning them into student residences since there is still a lack of student accommodations in the Portuguese capital, and its universities attract lots of young people from all over the world [...]. [...] This research investigates what exists in Portugal and more specifically in Lisbon. It also focuses on how to approach the renovation of an abandoned building without losing its distinct character that, in this case, is so typically lisboeta (meaning from Lisbon) and lastly, shows research on student residences -- what works and what doesn't, and what has to be made in order to offer the best possible design solution. In addition to that, it is important to look for the rules and regulations there might be when it comes to student residences. Altogether it can be said that the aim is to offer a solution for abandoned buildings in Lisbon by turning them into student residences. [...] Research will be made by looking at the context of Lisbon when it comes to abandoned buildings and the lack of accommodation for students which will happen in the introduction. The next step would be to look into student residences. Not only the definition and history of such spaces but also what is existing in Portugal and researching about the expectations student have nowadays while moving into a student residence. The following chapter will focus on case studies that might be inspirational and relevant in their approach towards existing buildings, small spaces or student residences. The context of the chosen building for the project and its preservation state would follow together with the regulations of the city of Lisbon. This being the base for the design suggestion and the conclusion in the end." | en |
