The study for the rehabilitation of Cine-Teatro de Vale Formoso was thefundamental goal for the elaboration of the present dissertation. Thinking about Cine-Teatro de Vale Formoso allowed us to reflect on the city of Porto and its active andabandoned buildings, that are framed in a cultural structure, composed of parts andelements that integrate an urban, social and historical unity.From the equation on the relationship between the city and the Cine-Teatro, asearch was made on the reasons that led to its current state, defined by the omission of itsurban presence, taking in account its original function in the city.The objective of the present work resided in the study on the manner to rehabilitatethis building, so as to return it to the community experience. Hence, we drew thearchitectural valorization of the Cine-Teatro and its integration in the cultural patrimonyof the city, finding, in this way, the reasons that justify its revitalization.The necessity of understanding the building, from the urban, typological andhystorical point of view was the starting point for the research carried out. From thebeginning, the analysis of the 'cineteatro' typology became indispensable, as well as theresearch of its origins, in cinema and in theatre.The intervention sought to preserve the building, adapting it to a new context,a new program and a new 'client'. That new context, the current cultural structure ofthe city of Porto, was also explored in an effort to search for references and examplesof stability of cultural equipments, thus finding a programmatic solution that could betranslated in stability, in a long term, for the Cine-Teatro of Vale Formoso.The proposal developed had the University Theatre of Porto as its 'client', sincethe institution is currently settled in a temporary accommodation, granted by the Porto'sCity Hall. The goal is to provide TUP with a new 'home' and, at the same time, ensure astable and lasting use and promotion of the Cine-Teatro.Thus, both theatres, the physical and the associative, curiously founded in the sameyear of 1948, might come together and stand generators of attractiveness in the culturallife of the city of Porto, in constant dialog with the community.
