Description
Porto’s typography has areas, like the one in Bonjardim, in which buildings bump against cliffs. A blue collar area, the islands organise themselves in terraces from the bourgeois façade to the street, which hid, so to speak, the misery of the several precarious constructions that were lined in the thresholds of a never-ending staircase. Lúcia Batista’s work started by the street and the square, and the intention to renovate a house resulted in the recovery of a beautiful Baroque fountain, that was abandoned, and giving that space back to the public promenade. In the design of the four houses, overlapping and intersecting, everything is a sensitivity exercise, of culture and of architecture, that is worth your visit.
