Europan 12 . Vila Viçosa

Description:


In Vila Viçosa, we identified five distinct landscapes: geological, productive, extractive, industrial and urban; each one of these landscapes have a deep sense of time. We are interested in the marks left in the territory over time, marks that we propose to expose, improve and intensify.

If we understand these landscapes as the result of a set of actions, implemented over time, we can think an intervention for Vila Viçosa in which new actions are introduced. We propose an intervention of chronological actions developed over time, in a slow but durable process, result of the natural, productive, social and constructive systems network evolution.

For Vila Viçosa we propose 24 mechanisms grouped into 6 families of actions addressing the intervention from the point of view of Adaptability and RE-generation of the identified landscapes.
