Spatial (dis)continuities: project and narratives

Abstract

The project, developed by PER – Programa Especial de Realojamento (Special Program of relocation), was created to resolve situations of housing deficit of some families that live in “islands” – “Porto islands” – determining residential mobility, from the consolidated city to the news urban territories.

In a changing environment where physical and socio-cultural relations are affected, we approach the design process through a few narratives that develop in around the open space, particularly the intermediate space notion, in a context of spatial (dis)continuities.
