High Density Housing.
Massarelos, Oporto.
Massarelos, Oporto.
On this privileged site, on the center of Oporto and by the river Douro, the singular vernacular architecture of Oporto is fading back in to oblivion by the destructive power of recent high scale buildings. On this circumstance, it was aimed to give continuity to the existing typical morphologies, promoting connections from the new urban structures and the typical ones. Formally it aims to maintain the diversity and rhythm of the of the typical constructions while adding stable rules to better fade in with new buildings.
