Intervening in a typical habitation of the urban tissue of Oporto city is by itself a reason for the memory theme running through our thoughts, as the memory itself begins to delineate like a programme, a “tool” capable of functioning as a moderator element between the “old” and the “new”.
This project tries to recreate the habitation spaces (an element which is a container and generator of memories), preserving the identity of the architectonic object which already exists, but with a greater cosmopolitan and contemporaneous touch, searching for a symbiosis between two chronologically distant languages, intending to create an “actualized” architectonic object belonging to the sensorial universe of this place from Oporto city.
