For the outdoor space that gives access to Uptec Baixa, we proposed a soft intervention aimed at making the space more enjoyable and comfortable. Elements such as small drops were placed in the courtyard to invite people to stand, sit or play, allowing and promoting new experiences and different appropriations of this place.
These drops are independent structures, distributed almost randomly throughout the courtyard, like little parasites, giving freedom for the intervention. Colour is an important element, as it allows these new elements to stand out from their surroundings and gain their own identity.
