Departing from the assumption that architectural works cannot always be interpreted by means of a formal description and analysis (sometimes through the breakdown of the buildings generating these works), we propose to explore other forms of interpreting and understanding them by using a series of reflections linked to the concepts of space, time and to the awareness of the interpreters’ role. Contemporary hermeneutical philosophy is the main focus underlying this research, more specifically that of Hans-Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur, and the fact that the interpretation or realization of an architectural place or work is the result of human intervention. For Gadamer, the finite man, the historical man always sees and understands from his own standpoint located in a particular time and space, and is unable to place himself apart from the relativity of history in the search for “objectively valid knowledge” (Gadamer, 2004, p. 30). This paper therefore calls on the finite and relational dimension of man and his historical roots in the interpretation of the architectural place; the field of interpretation of interpretation is focused on a paradigm that is different from the one in common practice. Thus the interpreters’ dimensions, which are normally excluded from analysis, are introduced as data when interpreting the places.Key words: place, architectural place, architecture and hermeneutics, interpretation model. Este texto procura clarificar e ampliar as leituras das obras e dos lugares arquitectónicos, no campo disciplinar da arquitectura. Tomando como pressuposto que a análise e descrição formal das obras arquitectónicas (por vezes através da decomposição em partes dos edifícios geradores dessas obras) não é suficiente para a sua leitura, propomos, através de um conjunto de reflexões associadas aos conceitos de espaço, de tempo e à consciência do papel dos intérpretes, explorar outras formas de leitura e interpretação do mesmo. O enfoque geral desta investigação assenta na filosofia hermenêutica contemporânea, nas figuras de Hans-Georg Gadamer e Paul Ricoeur, e no facto de a interpretação ou a realização de uma obra ou de um lugar arquitectónico ser o resultado da acção humana. Para Gadamer, o homem finito, o homem histórico vê e compreende sempre a partir do seu ponto de vista, localizado num determinado tempo e num determinado espaço, não podendo colocar -se acima da relatividade da história para procurar um “conhecimento objectivamente válido” (Gadamer, 2004, p. 30). Este texto evoca, assim, na interpretação do lugar arquitectónico, a dimensão finita e relacional do homem e o seu enraizamento histórico, centrando o campo da interpretação num outro paradigma em relação ao que habitualmente se pratica. Assim, são introduzidas, como dados a ter em conta a leitura dos lugares, dimensões afectas aos seus intérpretes, normalmente excluídas de qualquer leitura. Palavras-chave: lugar, lugar arquitectónico, arquitectura e hermenêutica, modelo de interpretação.
