The presented concept was created as the idea of covering the whole city with a structure resembling a canvas waving freely on the curvature of the building height. Covering roofs, streets, sidewalks and parks will generate the necessary shade to improve the living conditions of residents and city users. The roofing of the entire urban layout has been subjected to the process of using natural assets and minimizing the adverse effects of city use. The presented urban interiors and the fifth façade of the city are the result of the transition through many operational processes presented below. Perforation of the cover in the east-west system is a response to improving the ventilation of city streets, by varying the altitude (generating a void between them) in order to create wind catchers. This solution supports the ventilation of streets and buildings, giving the possibility of minimal compression and expansion of air and thus lowering its temperature (at wind speeds occurring in a given location, the temperature change should be perceived individually). The lack of variation in the height of the north-south cover panels is conditioned by the limitation of the mutual shading of the panels at noon in the objectives of effective solar radiation collection and thus generating shade below in the hottest time of the day. The entire layout of the roof panels (fifth façade) of the city was conceptually extended to the entire urban planning as an invitation to use for streets, pavements and buildings. Roof panels will be equipped with photovoltaic cells as an effective and ecological use of the natural environment. SEE MORE

Quinta do Monte d’Oiro is a family wine project located in the Lisbon Wine Region of Portugal which has been known for its idyllic wine-making conditions since the 17ᵗʰ century. The family wine project is the dream of renowned gastronomist José Bento dos Santos, whose own rare wine collection includes some of the greatest wines in the world.
