Açougues Plaza urban rehabilitation | António Rosa da Silva

The urban unit called the Largo dos Açougues, covers a number of small urban spaces with different characteristics both morphological and functional despite their diversity is understood as a unit with the same name. Thus, in addition to long rectangular space that borders the street José Pombo Cupido, there is a square where usually people makes outdoor market and a smaller one adjoining the building of the Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Consolação. This should have historical reasons: outskirts of the castle (?), Storage of goods (?) Or morphological reasons given the position of the island building.The concept was, for this reason, to reinforce by drawing this notion of unity.
