OLÁ LISBOA!
The territory is characterized by a chaotic dispersion in which the various urban, landscape and infrastructural elements are fragmented in a disordered way and without any logical or visible relationship. Therefore, the contest program appears as an opportunity to understand the city as a broad context, which establishes relations of continuity and contrast. The proposed project is primarily a territorial gesture. Rather than articulate itself as a mere segment of the detail plan, it seeks a careful continuity, creating a specific context for the new building, organizing issues of symbolism, visibility, access and public space in a single motion. Considering the building as a solid mass, divided in two, we create a new typology of tower that recreates the neighbourhood relations of a Campo de Ourique typical block. Following this typical relation, it has created a sort of vertical neighbourhood, which aims to explore close relationships between the public space and the housing private spaces.
