On the edge of Matosinhos, adjacent to the port of Leixões, opposite the market, in relation
to the drawbridge - the site is characterized by huge scale problems - from the territory to the
building, and to design and think the city with the city itself. There was a need for an urban elevation to the port of Leixões inexistent so far. The urban mesh fades out towards the bridge, this is an area with a lot of car traffic but no public spaces that serve the local population. Therefore, conceptually linking the site with the intervention intentions, I envisioned a barrier, a border post - one Seawall, to magnify the separation between the city consolidated mesh, and an empty space which releases this ground all its intrinsic dynamism.
