DATE: 1997-2005 _______________________________________________ VISIT: Outside _______________________________________________ MORE DETAILS: The Project for the Aliados Avenue surges from the need to build, in that place, three metro stations that are practically contiguous: São Bento, Aliados and Trindade.
The intervention opted for the reformulation of the existing vegetation, it privileged the thick arboreal but freed the ground from flower beds and other obstacles which restricted the use of the Avenue located in the heart of the city as a large public space, as it happens in countless cities, responding to a use that was, in fact, already in practice, although in precarious conditions.
The project redesigned the urban furniture but re-used the old existing street lamps.
On the upper side of the Avenue, near the City Hall, a water mirror was built, surrounded by benches, chairs and trees. _______________________________________________
