Porto pool promenade ideas competition: as formas do vazio

Abstract

The contemporary city brings together a set of factors that lead us to the past, present and future, a series of events that make the continuous domain of our existence. The urban context is adjusted according to a simultaneity of factors, where architecture participates as a structuring order of their organization. Therefore, the architecture serves as a substance which relates humanity and nature, Man and Dwelling, looking for the correlation between a wide range of shapes and symbols, born from the interaction with the place, the abstract world of sensations and the circumstantial reality which is proposed. The condition of design wobble in the world of the imagination, the experience of space and the materialization of ideas. Finds its way by the momentum that represents itself memory and forgetfulness, a set of perceptions seeking void as space. And what would become of the emptiness of space ? Often enough it appears to be a deficiency. Emptiness is held then to be a failure to fill up a cavity or gap. Yet presumably the emptiness is closely allied to the special character of place, and therefore no failure, but a bringing-forth.
