cruzamento
crossing
croisement
- work divided
in three parts: Analysis (group of 4 students), Strategy (first approach –
group of 4; study deepening – group of 2), and Proposal (group of 2)
- vast
territory rarefied from Guimarães to Vizela, deepening a part
- water line,
railway line, road EN, secondary road parallel to the EN
Strategy:
- proposal to
treat the territory fertilizing it by its vocations
- transversal
path defined by an existing bridge, with intentions of structuring, connects
the road EN to the secondary road parallel to the EN permitting the connection of the two extremes of the
valley (pretension to hierarchize and strengthen in order to become structuring
with the help of lines of trees along the path)
- agriculture
to the water line; construction and movement zone to the roads (hierarchizing
them through spaces with different characters)
Proposal:
- pulling
(from the terrain): housing lots + agriculture, both defined by vineyard
modules (secondary road parallel to the EN), associated to a school
- placing: offices
+ collective housing + services dependents from the movement zone (road EN),
associated to a factory recovered to market
- unlevel: agricultural
space reliant on the water line, associated, by continuity, to a path that
accompanies the railway barrier; on the other side of the railway also an
interior path supporting the constructions reliant on the road EN and to the
multi-uses new square associated to the large scale factory that upholds; transversality
of the bridge marked by the continuity of the line of trees of great span
