Map of the South Bank of the Estuary. The Map has been flipped so that North faces downwards in an attempt to highlight the relevance of the southern bank which is often forgotten in the scheme of Lisbon as a city. Within the map, the case study buildings have been highlighted and numbered according to their location along the estuary.

Object-Project

Lisbon Triennale 2016 - Freelance Drawing Commision for Godofredo Pereira

Commissioned to model and create a set of plan and isometric drawings for Object - Project to be shown as part of the Lisbon Triennale. The role included the creation of a map of the southern bank of the city of Lisbon that incorporated the location of each building in question.

Object-Project explores the idea that identification with objects makes identification with the other possible. Focusing on the relationship between Lisbon and the Trafaria waterfront on the opposite bank of the Tagus River, the exhibition identifies various logistic elements that characterise the urban growth of the “other side”, from religious movements to industrial developments. Highlighting in particular the role of labour organisations and community and socio-cultural associations, the exhibition gives visibility to the everyday practices which, throughout the 20th century, turned the economic and institutional deficiencies of the Trafaria area into a possible scenario of survival. The exhibition pursues two lines of inquiry: that of the object which, while it is determined by logistical principles, adapts autonomously to its urban context; and that of collective projects, in the course of which the architectural object participates in processes of political and social transformation. © Godofredo Pereira
