LARGO VITORINO DAMÁSIO

USE OF WATER ELEMENT

Course: Computer Aided Design

Date: June 2009

Instructor: Luís Paulo Ribeiro, PhD

Largo Vitorino Damásio lies at the heart of a busy business street in Lisbon. This proposal turns it into a place of relaxation and serenity, filled with colour, in the middle of a grey, noisy part of the city. Chromatic vegetation delimitates space and creates an alternate reality and an impression of mutation and revolution trough the seasons. The water element geometry is planned to provide a water mirror that reflects light and colour, releasing relaxing sounds through its movement. It helps regulate the temperature in the heat of the urban jungle, while its edges can be used for sitting and resting places.
