The photographs taken during the construction of the Ribeira Grande city center illustrate the urban design proposal, deeply rooted in the historical identity of the town. Through a sensitive and rigorous approach, the images document the integration of new architectural elements with the existing urban fabric. They reflect the project’s aim to enhance public space while preserving the memory of place, revealing how construction processes engage with layers of history, topography, and materiality. These photographs serve as a visual narrative of transformation, where modern intervention respects and revitalizes Ribeira Grande’s cultural heritage.
