Europan 11 Guimarães

winner

The study area forms an urban sequence located at the articulation of networks and architectural typologies that belong to a wide range of scales. It is a highly contrasted zone, with an ambition to develop its industrial and commercial park while maintaining its local identity. In this area, different component of landscape can be spotted, each with its own identity, but they do no interact today.
Our project aims to develop the dialogue between all the entities while affirming their singular character. We propose for each an appropriate tool. These tools are independent but can only operate in a system of relations. Together they form a complete project on which we based our proposal.
