Abstract

Cais do Ginjal is a place of ruin, abandonment, decay. However, it remains a place of passage. Ginjal is considered a place of opportunity, which needs a new driving force that will make it back to the boiling pier of the past. Despite being a place of countless opportunities, it is also a place of many constraints. Due to its geographical location, very close to the Tagus River, compressed by the fossil cliff, with very high levels that becomes a barrier element between this and the city of Almada; and for its built heritage that preserves the memory of the place. Thus, a system was found that is thought to be capable of solving the problem found on the pier. This system proposes the creation of a new market, a new square, a new port, cultivation areas for agricultural production, new vertical accesses between the level of the Ginjal wharf and the levels of the cliff. The intervention is not only at the pier level, but at the city scale, starting at Quinta do Almaraz and culminating in the new selling point of Cais do Ginjal, the market. The proposal is based on three premises - Production, Supply and Sale - which aims to bring a sustainable understanding, based on local production and sale, reducing supply by polluting means. An approach is also made to the scale of two buildings, the market building and another that will receive a program of vertical gardens
