O quarteirão na cidade de Lisboa: da forma ao tipo

Abstract

The urban fabric, both in his public and private component, translates the parallel stress of tension and change, transformation and permanence, which characterize the space and architecture that builds the city. This dynamic process of urban production is reflected in the continuing evolution of the shape and organization of the urban block as an intermediary between the housing function and other urban activities. The research seeks to undertake a study of the urban form in Lisbon from its private component, expressed in the study of the block, the built fabric basic unit and the plots the support of dynamic that configures it. To this end, we intend to place this element in its current state as a result of an evolutionary process, serving as a principle for a typo-morphological study.
