Between landscapes Team point of view In Vila Viçosa, we identified five distinct landscapes: geological, productive, extractive, industrial and urban; each of these landscapes has a deep sense of time. We are interested in the marks left in the territory over time, marks that we propose to expose, improve and intensify. If we understand these landscapes as the result of a set of actions implemented over time, we can think an intervention for Vila Viçosa that introduces new actions. We propose an intervention of actions developed over time, in a slow but durable process, resulting from the evolution of a network of natural, productive, social and constructive systems. For Vila Viçosa, we propose 24 mechanisms grouped into 6 families of actions, addressing the intervention in terms of the Adaptability and RE-generation of the identified landscapes. Jury point of view The conceptual content of the proposal is interesting and meets the programme objectives by using elements that mark the passing of time, although in some cases they are not clearly argued in terms of adaptability. Treated from a temporal perspective with the aim of minimising rigidity, several proposals have solutions for upgrading existing elements to future uses, seeking to respond to the various objectives of the brief, including the proposed use of the railway infrastructure.
