Abstract(s)
La cada vez mayor demanda de servicios públicos en el arte de morir es
una necesidad manifiesta desde hace tiempo en el Ayuntamiento de Zas,
municipio de pequeñas dimensiones en la denominada puerta de la
“Costa da Morte”. La realización del proyecto de Tanatorio en Zas es el
resultado de esta disertación y la investigación llevada a cabo para
ofrecer las mejoras y aciertos que puedan estar presentes en edificaciones
de este tipo en el entorno, tratando de dignificar este tipo de obra
arquitectónica.
En el proyecto de investigación se han establecido metodológicamente la
utilización de las técnicas de análisis documental, registro fotográfico,
notas de campo y, sobre todo, estudios de casos. Se han analizado cuatro
tanatorios representativos de la zona con las características más relevantes
en el tratamiento del proyecto de este tipo de edificación y que serán las
líneas maestras de nuestro futuro proyecto de ejecución del tanatorio: la
función espacial del lugar (accesos, estancias y velorio), la luz (exterior,
celosías y cenital) y el sistema de circulación de las personas en el espacio
(ámbito público y privado). A través del análisis de estos elementos se han
podido filtrar los resultados obtenidos y en su comparativa cuáles serían
más aconsejables optimizar y/o desechar.
La disertación está estructurada en base a un marco teórico sobre el
significado de la muerte y su idiosincrasia en el lugar que ocupa el
proyecto seguida de los resultados empíricos y análisis del entorno (estudio
macroescala y microescala). No podemos eludir que nos encontramos
ante un proyecto que goza de gran representatividad pública y que por
ello deberá conmemorar el “sentir popular” en uno de los momentos
probablemente más delicados que toda vida afronta: su propia
desaparición. No es baladí tener en cuenta las sensibilidades culturales que
permean el uso de un espacio designado para despedir a nuestros seres
queridos y por eso es necesario contextualizar la actitud y valor social ante
la muerte en su expresión cultural, en sus leyes y normas así como en las
obras ya realizadas con anterioridad en un entorno determinado.
El trabajo empírico ha supuesto, por lo tanto, clarificar y enfocar de
manera fundamentada el trabajo creativo del proyecto de obra del
tanatorio y con ello, resolver arquitectónicamente una adecuada
adaptación a estos elementos y a su consideración sociocultural: tener en
cuenta la conmemoración (su representatividad), un tratamiento de la luz
racional y creativa (luz cenital) y división clara y espaciada de la
circulación interna. De este modo, el proyecto del tanatorio en Zas ha
podido desarrollarse y constituirse desde el respeto a su entorno y
consideraciones idiosincrásicas y desde la comodidad y creatividad
designada a un espacio para la despedida y la solidaridad.
Abstract: The increasing demand for public services concerning the art of dying is decisively requiring an action in Zas Town Council, smaller locality in central Costa da Morte region along Spain's Northern coast. The project of a morgue in Zas will result out of this dissertation and its research. We pretend to implement and exhibit the buildings in the surroundings, aiming at raising the prestige of these architectural works. On the one hand, the research project methodology is mainly based on case studies, but also on document analysis, photographic records and field notes. We have analysed the main features of the four most popular mortuaries in the region. These features will be the guidelines we will study and develop through our future project execution planning for building the morgue: the spatial function of place (access, rooms and visitation), the lighting (outdoor, lattice and zenith) and the transit system (public and private spheres). The results are categorised through the analysis of these elements. Besides, this comparison has shown some findings that would be better optimise and/or dispose. On the other hand, dissertation topic theoretical framework deals firstly with the meaning of death and its local particularities, and secondly with the empirical results themselves and the surroundings analysis —macro-micro level study—. This project social impact cannot be put apart. Therefore, people emotional responses concerning their passing should be remembered. Thus, the project will incorporate the cultural context that includes the social connotations and the points of view about a building where our beloved ones pass away. Consequently, these elements will be applied into the standards and into the previous works. Subsequently, empirical work has laid the basis for the creative work of the morgue project. Then, accurate architectural adaptation will depend on the application of the socio-cultural analysis of these elements: the funeral rite items (social preparation and celebration), affordable reasonable creative lighting solutions (daylight) and space-effective transit system. To sum-up, the morgue project in Zas has an environment-friendly design depending on the local particularities about passing. Comfort and creativeness finally constructs a place where farewell and solidarity find their way.
