'The street is also a house' | António Rosa da Silva

THE STREET IS ALSO A HOUSE ... The street is also a house ... explores the urban environment interactions in a series of sets of furniture perfectly stereotyped in any existing interior space, public or private. The object is materialized in a plane to be held in red Valchromat (MDF), this plane is placed at a vertical position and through various mechanisms opens and becomes self-supporting . The materialization of the object's form and program meet multiple objectives ,conceptually reminiscent of the color of Tschumi architectural objects intended to point out and say "... is there." Table place, seating’s, informal place to stop. The opening, the transformation of the object in two-dimensional tables and chairs, challenges the user to interact to create a use and promote action. Public space is a meeting place, it is intended that this object becomes a gathering place, people who interact in an urban environment, sitting on foot or by bicycle are all welcome to our street. The object to be installed in the area of Couros in Guimarães, will be built in Valchromat, material manufactured and developed in Portugal, the plan will consist of two sheets bonded or grafted to reach the length indicated in the project. On the face of the plan will open the negatives, reusing leftover parts to build the furniture. This will be put into operation by removing safety pins and turning the pieces placed in the lateral pivot openings. In the plan it will be cut sets of written information placed in strategic sites contributing to the identity of the object.
