Urban life has accelerated. Time and forms of conviviality have changed. The Açoteias are no longer an important space in our city and region.
We invited Farenses and Algarvians to think of new uses for the Açoteias. International guests shared projects and ideas. The International Conference "To see the Future from the Açoteias" was an important moment of inspiration. |

The rooftop terrace in in question is located in the easternmost tower of De Rotterdam, the complex designed by OMA that has been a dominant addition to the Rotterdam skyline since 2013.
