Sinopse

In the current, complex, and schizophrenic process of urban space transformation, it is important to restore the encounter between architectural design and the (infra)structure, something that, in several key moments in history, served as a matrix for shaping our cities. Today, when it is neither possible nor desirable to claim a single paradigm, a redemptive archetype that structures the space around us, the Portuguese city, in its paradoxical and fragmented condition, becomes an excellent field for interpreting and experimenting with urban analysis and design. The true map of the universe, like the city of Euxodia.
