Abstract

[Abstract] When they fish, humans play an active part in the dynamics of marine ecosys-tems, and architecture is subsequently involved in the processing of their catch. Our goal is to develop the idea of Fishing Architecture as a useful concept for understanding the interconnected relationship between architecture and fish-ing. By analysing the architectural and ecological outcomes of fisheries and can-ning industry, we will try to assess the complex relationship between human ac-tivities and environmental transformations. How can we represent the intricate relationship between the sea and the coast? This text seeks to state this hypothe-sis and incorporate ecological information into the analysis of the development of the sardine canning industry in Matosinhos. Based on the knowledge of ma-rine ecology, we hope to find an original perspective from which to visualize and evaluate urban developments and their environmental impacts.
[Resumo] Através da pesca, os humanos participam activamente na dinâmica dos ecossistemas marinhos e a arquitectura está envolvida nesse processo. O nosso objectivo é desenvolver o conceito de Fishing Architecture como uma noção útil para descrever a interligação entre a arquitectura e os ecossistemas marinhos. Ao analisar os resultados arquitectónicos e ecológicos da pesca e da indústria das conservas, tentaremos avaliar a relação complexa entre as actividades humanas e as transformações ambientais. Como podemos representar a relação intrincada entre o mar e a costa? Este texto procura enunciar esta hipótese e incorporar a informação ecológica na análise do desenvolvimento da indústria de conservas de sardinha em Matosinhos. Com base no conhecimento da ecologia marinha, esperamos encontrar uma perspectiva original a partir da qual seja possível visualizar e avaliar os desenvolvimentos urbanos e os seus impactos ambientais.
