Ferreira Borges Street Redesign
Above the downtown roofs a new line is created over the horizon, a reference of contour, reminiscent of the of the city's medieval fortified walls that once stood there.A beam of light in the landscape, horizontal like the surface of the water, parallel to its own reflex. A footstep in the memory that speaks of the wall and and the life that exists beyond it, between the city and the port. A patrimonial register that supports itself on the old city gate until it breaks the street mid point and at Praca de Comercio where, flanked by 2 romanesque churches it triggers the shadow for the access.These three points are evoked for the proposal causing the street to dilate and connect to the remaining urban fabric that in turn is infected by an urgency of a future that is not in a hurry....a unit of measurement that represents distance, that used to separate and now connects town hall to the river Mondego - a dimension that on the other hand coincides with that of the fortified walls and those of the university, in reference to the education which is an integral part of Coimbra's character.A comfortable measure of stroll, that converts the street into a first chamber of the town giving it an institutional character.-a box of resonance of light and colours of the city as they change throughout time.
