PLAN BARRON
International workshop, Lisbon PT
Abandoned on the coast as skeletons, bunkers are the last theatrical gesture in the history Western military architecture (Virilio, 1975). Technically obsolete, this military territory has fallen into extinction and is now generally forgotten. We present Plan Barron of Defense of Lisbon and Setubal, a mid-twentieth-century set of bunkers, recently declassified and with no heritage classification, as a case study to discuss the future of this heritage facing climate crisis. Can oblivious super-resistant war architecture have an opportunity to a new cycle to fight climate emergency? We present Techno-aesthetic (Simondon, 1992) and Milieu (Georges Teyssot, 2021) concepts.

Present workshop will understand, debate and propose solutions for this heritage, working in site, in Bataria da Late, the 3rd bunker of the eight that constitute Plan Barron.
