As ruas são os espaços de excelência onde encontramos os nossos amigos, vizinhos e e um leque diverso de muitas outras pessoas.

As ruas são espaços sociais, onde, entre a presença da fauna e flora, convivemos e experienciamos a diversidade de movimentos e fluxos, inerentes à vida urbana.

Para ampliar a nossa imaginação e o pensamento crítico e teórico, que permitam desenvolver novas ferramentas para o desenho de melhores ruas, a plataforma the Future Design of Streets organiza vários eventos, com intuito de explorar ideias e alternativas para os espaços da rua,contribuindo com vários tipos de conhecimento e experiências, de lugares e contextos distintos.

A exposição apresenta uma visão global do desenho da rua, dos seus desafios actuais, e, revela a importância das estruturas resilientes aplicadas ao nosso dia-a-dia, e ao amanhã. Reunimos os temas mais relevantes que foram discutidos ao longo de três webinars, duas city editions e outros debates realizados pela plataforma  the Future Design of Streets (2020-2022).

Num contexto de enormes desafios para a sociedade, compreendemos que a inclusão social, saúde, sustentabilidade, ecologia, economia, mobilidade e tecnologia, são princípios fundamentais para o pensamento e o desenho das ruas. Esta exposição é organizada através de 10 tópicos que definem os objectivos e compromissos do desenho e de planeamento das ruas, e que são: urban depth – typology – activities – ground floor – plants& soil – water & air – walkability – mobility & accessibility – reversible approaches – priorities.

Os autores desta exposição são: Daniel Casas Valle, Ivo Oliveira e Catarina Breia Dias.

Streets are essential places where you can meet friends, your neighbours, and many others. Streets are important social spaces in our daily living environment, they offer space for flora & fauna, and they are spaces for all kind of mobility movements.

To enlarge our imagination and conceptual thinking to develop new tools for better streets, the platform the Future Design of Streets organises various events to share design ideas and explore new ways for street spaces, bringing together experiences and knowledge from different cities and areas. The exhibition forms an overview on street design, capturing  contemporary topics and resilient systems that give answers to challenges of today and tomorrow. It forms a reflection based on the three webinar series, the two city editions and various presented works of the Future Design of Streets platform (period 2020-2022).

In actual dynamic times, which poses many challenges in society – social inclusiveness, health, sustainability, ecology, economy, mobility, technology – the way streets are designed does matter. This exhibition is organised among ten key topics that determines the scope and assignment of future street design, namely: urban depth – typology – activities – ground floor – plants& soil – water & air – walkability – mobility & accessibility – reversible approaches – priorities.

The authors of the exhibition are: Daniel Casas Valle, Ivo Oliveira and Catarina Dias.
