More than a new project between Alcântara and Santos, Tagus Platform is a concept. Innovative, it proposes an urban morphology that can be applied to any port city that wants to resume the connection with the river and / or sea.
![Tagus Platform 34 ss](https://ressanogarcia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/ss.jpg)
It surpasses, at low cost, the existing circulation barriers – road or railway – without affecting them, and creates a contemporary public space with different possibilities of use – stage of major events or a hanging garden in the middle of the industrial area. It is not a question of urbanizing the port lands, but of enhancing the opportunities in that area, improving urban conditions, and eliminating the deficiencies of the old city and its equipment. |
![Tagus Platform 35 tagus2 1](https://ressanogarcia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/tagus2-1.jpg)
Tagus Platform proposes a sustained reconfiguration of this territory through the construction of a landfill, adding to the city and which, among many other features, allows access to the largest Portuguese museum (Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga), simultaneously creating a prime reception area to the Rocha de Conde de Óbidos Tourism Cruise Terminal.
The Tagus Platform project will be an emblematic public work that allows Lisbon to be projected on the international stage.

A space of transition between different realities of the city is proposed – the East to Praça do Comércio and to the North the hill of the Castle.
![Campo das Cebolas 51 PAN 07](https://ressanogarcia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/PAN_07.jpg)
The proposal enriches the reflection and debate on the future of the riverfront itself, especially in the sections in which its regeneration has been postponed.
The urban design solution and the materials that guarantee a desirable continuity of the place, still allow the definition of different environments adjusted to the nature of the different spaces.
![Campo das Cebolas 52 PAN 12](https://ressanogarcia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/PAN_12.jpg)
Campo das Cebolas is the most significant moment in the plan. Cuts and interruptions resulting from new threading and paths are integrated. This space becomes a place of passage and at the same time of permanence.

The Trans(in)spiration building is a design proposal for a competition. The solution creates an organic living system within a rigid built environment. The project has an exterior self-regulating protective skin is comprised of large water reservoirs containing algae that filter water and air.
More than a proposal to retrofit a Los Angeles Federal Building, the design solution aims to become universal by making use of existing resources, rainwater, and greywater, to create a natural system easily adaptable to any similar structure. It is more than a site-specific project; it is a low-budget concept that can be disseminated across geographic and cultural urban centers on various scales.

Evaporation of H2O is a cooling process whereby the solar heat energy changes the liquid molecules into water vapor.

It surpasses, at low cost, the existing circulation barriers – road or railway – without affecting them, and creates a contemporary public space with different possibilities of use – stage of major events or a hanging garden in the middle of the industrial area. It is not a question of urbanizing the port lands, but of enhancing the opportunities in that area, improving urban conditions, and eliminating the deficiencies of the old city and its equipment.
The system is dynamic: evaporation of this water provides a cooling effect in the warm season and also during the cold season this skin provides excellent thermal inertia. Referencing the new skin, but on a smaller scale, natural cooling towers surround existing staircases in the building. These towers work simultaneously with the new facade to improve cross ventilation and allow the building to transpire when needed.

The concept presents a mesh / web that projects a new topography for the place. The web offers a flexible system in which each building can adapt to different uses. The transformation of morphology creates innovative solutions in public spaces that break with the traditions of conventional architecture and public spaces, due to their different natures.

![New Theatre 110 wwwww](https://ressanogarcia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/wwwww.jpg)
The new topography proposed is not only sustainable but also ensures energy efficiency for the building. Architecture and public space, two distinct territories, merge, challenging current urban design conventions.

Our project proposed forms, and spaces, constructed with musical notes. An architecture built out of sounds. Considering music has a material of the arts, Wassily Kandinsky was searching for similar processes to his paintings during the early 20th century.
![Kandinsky Concert Hall 124 eeee](https://ressanogarcia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/eeee.jpg)
Rhythm, abstract construction but also repetition and dynamic perception. The influence of music on painting is continued in architecture through the investigation of the painting. This process brought the possibilities of unimaginable architectural discoveries. An architecture for the music, inspired by the painting.
