Resumo(s)
Entre 1498 e 1503, inicia-se a construção de uma das mais importantes operações urbanísticas do novo século, nos terrenos de duas herdades arrabaldinas lisboetas. Nas primeiras décadas do século XVI, Vila Nova de Andrade, assim chamada por homenagem à família que incentivou os aforamentos dos seus terrenos, limitava-se a um conjunto de quarteirões a sul da atual Praça Luís de Camões. Totalmente modificados após o terramoto de 1755, que obrigou à sua reconstrução segundo modelos urbanísticos e
arquitetónicos dissonantes dos originais, só é possível conhecer o aspeto inicial destes quarteirões por via de documentação de época. Não foi há muitos anos que se confirmou a íntima ligação entre Vila Nova de Andrade e o famoso Bairro Alto de São Roque, apontando-se o primeiro como antepassado do segundo.
A historiografia encontrou espaço para Vila Nova de Andrade na cronologia de Lisboa, um pequeno bairro popular quinhentista que, sabe-se hoje, terá sido o remoto início do atual Bairro Alto, construído em diálogo direto com o espírito reformista de D. Manuel I e com inovadoras diretrizes urbanísticas e arquitetónicas, anteriores a qualquer ação da Companhia de Jesus, que apenas se fez notar a partir de 1553. Neste sentido, este estudo denota, através de uma revisão e leitura crítica da literatura produzida até à data, a contribuição que múltiplos autores têm dado para a compreensão da evolução do bairro anterior à fixação dos jesuítas em São Roque, um excerto fundacional da sua história que permanece ainda por completar.
Between 1498 and 1503, it began the construction of one of the most important urban operations of the new century, on the lands of two suburban farm estates in Lisbon. In the first decades of the 16th century, Vila Nova de Andrade, named after the family that encouraged the emphyteusis of its grounds, consisted in a set of blocks located south of the current Praça Luís de Camões. Completely modified after the 1755 earthquake, which required its reconstruction according to urbanistic and architectural models that weren't in line with the original ones, the only possible way to know the initial appearance of these blocks is through historical documentation. Not many years ago, the close connection between Vila Nova de Andrade and the famous Bairro Alto de São Roque was confirmed, with the former standing out as the ancestor of the latter. Historiography found space for Vila Nova de Andrade in the chronology of Lisbon, a small popular 16th-century neighborhood, now known to have been the remote beginning of the current Bairro Alto, built in direct dialogue with D. Manuel's reformist spirit and with innovative urbanistic and architectural guidelines, prior to any action of the Companhia de Jesus, which was only noticed from 1553. To that end, this study denotes, through a review and critical reading of the literature produced to date, the contribution that multiple authors have made to understand the evolution of the neighborhood before the Jesuits settled in São Roque, a foundational excerpt from its history that still remains to be completed.
