The following intervention principles were defined: connecting the high level on which the old city, the current bridge and Alameda Teixeira de Pascoaes are located to the market / fair level, in order to make the entire area walkable daily; connect this platform to the riverside areas integrated in a large park , thus promoting the connection between the levelof the city and the river; integrate the current market space in the large riverside park, assuming the character of a large open pavilion; visually bring the market closer to the bridge and historic center. We plan to reconfigure the Alameda Teixeira de Pascoaes platform, creating a new support wall that defines its east limit, bringing it closer to the São Gonçalo Convent. In this way, we intend to enable the topographic relationship between the Convent of São Gonçalo and the river to be approximated to that existing at the end of the 19th century.
