[ jogos de rua ] was one of the winning projects of the programme BIP/ZIP 2012 launched by Lisbon’s City Hall (Câmara Municipal de Lisboa). It consisted of a collective design and making of 8 themed mobile playground units that would appropriate the empty or run-down spaces of PRODAC, a social housing neighbourhood at the east edge of Lisbon.

[a linha] was one of the winning projects of the programme BIP/ZIP 2012 launched by Lisbon’s City Hall (Câmara Municipal de Lisboa). It consisted of 4 routes through Alfama, one of the historical neighbourhoods in Lisbon with an aging population and a run-down building stock. The routes marked 25 neglected spaces in the neighbourhood which then adopted the colours of the 4 lines - green, red , blue & yellow - depending on the programme that would inhabit them (green spaces, cultural events, business related spaces and play and sports). Those should allow local residents and visitors to navigate through Alfama in a more pro-active way engaging with those (formerly) run-down spaces.
