ALCOUTIM

SECOND PLACE

The intervention area was subdivided in three project areas giving origin to three nucleus, Vila Histórica , Vale and Vila Nova. The objective is to potentiate each of these areas, by following a methodology that promotes the existent specifications and highlights its differences, resulting in a consolidated heterogeneous area.
In Area One – Vila Histórica – the existence of a contouring wall was the reason of the project.
The construction of limits of this historical nucleus with supporting walls, which define walking paths, will enable new accesses and convert a sealed system of walls into a permeable system.
In Area Two -Vale – is an area that the proposal has accepted as Parque: a production and recreational area. This area integrates a new parking space set on a platform beneath the road bridge to condition the entrance of cars in the old quarter of the town.
The Area Three – Vila Nova – Alcoutim’s area of recent urban expansion and the preferential area for the implantation of new construction. The proposed building is a School of Canoeing that fits in the existing topography and its coverage defines an area of a square over the Guadiana River.
