Incorporation

This project is located in Portugal, between Aguçadoura and Apulia, extending from National Route 13 to the sea. This territory is related to agricultural practice, due to the quality of the soils and their geography location, having as characteristic the masseiras fields. For a long time, this place had a strong experience, which was lost over time with the emergence of new technologies and new methods of agricultural production. The strategy is to make it a hybrid territory, creating a mix of experiences that reconcile the qualities of the countryside and the city, and where it is possible to work, live and relax in the same place. For this, four logics were developed in a given sample. The first logic, "National Road / Showcase", aims to strengthen current practices, such as the sale of vegetables along the roads and to improve their road profile. In the following logic, "House / Street", the intervention involves the reuse of abandoned houses that served as support for agriculture to respond to future families who want to settle in this territory. The logic called "Greenhouse / Plots" is to divide the land so that each family can cultivate in its plot and transform the existing greenhouses with various programs to meet the needs of the community. The last logic, "Pine Forest / Public Space", creates an uniformization of the existing forest with the plantation of a pine forest with introduction of leisure areas in its interior. This proposal was developed by logics with the objective of expanding over time, being able to transform the whole area.
