About the Place
The Alcântara Valley has been an area marked by the construction of the Águas Livres aqueduct and, in the last century, by the construction of the Duarte Pacheco Viaduct, various roads and railways, the plumbing of the Alcântara watercourse and the accesses to the 25 de Abril Bridge, along with the afforestation of the Monsanto Park. This is a project to upgrade an existing wastewater treatment plant. A “thick roof” of reinforced concrete, with about two hectares of diverse vegetation, is the architectural and landscape device that makes it possible to restore the visual and ecological continuity of the valley’s slope system with the forest park. The complex includes services, administration, circulation, maintenance and support areas.
