‘THE GENTLE PORTO TOWERS’

Maria Pia Bridge over The Douro at Oporto 1878 One of the human requirements is the need to dwell, and one of the central human acts is the act of inhabiting, of connecting ourselves, however temporary, with a place on the planet which belongs to us and to which we belong. This is not, especially in a tumultuous present, an easy act (as is attested by the uninhabited and uninhabitable no-places in cities everywhere), and it requires help: We need allies in inhabitation.

THE GENTLE DOURO TOWERS 2021

There, you can dive in as children used to do in the beginning of the last century.

The aim of this tower is to connect the city and the river through the creation of spaces for citylife to happen.

THE GENTLE DOURO TOWERS

2021

The project develops as a brutally utopian idea linked to analogies with the old water towers, symbol of great wealth of a place.

WATER TOWER Water is in fact the main theme that, like a central plug, connects the building in all its vertical structure.

The tower appears as a hybrid element, unstoppable, in relation to the structural strength of the bridges that characterize the background of the Douro river.

A platform extends over the water to become a public space where traditional local functions such as fishing can be carried out.

At the end, a platform develops to become an observatory on the city and a water cistern that will serve the apartments.

TOWER OF STONE

TOWER OF STONE

The dangerous big ocean, conditioning the weather, the colours, the melancholic atmosphere of the city. It is the ocean’s fault that I feel so lost and small in this landscape.

I look at the buildings, the infrastructure, the series of bridges: my feeling is somewhere between fear and admiration. It’s always like that, a constant struggle between nature and the need to live.

I look at the buildings, the infrastructure, the series of bridges: my feeling is somewhere between fear and admiration. It’s always like that, a constant struggle between nature and the need to live.

Then I look at the rocks. Among the most comfortable places in this landscape are them. In an uninhabitable site, perhaps the most habitable, safest, friendliest place.

I can imagine my project as a safe island in the river, in a safe cave, where fishermen and local people can find refuge.

Here the extension of a rock becomes a tower for housing, an island for fishing, a fish market. The tower will connect the river to the vertical terraced gardens.
