Requalification of Republic Square is a second prize proposal by OFFICE x Sara Maduro Raffaele Sarubbo for Loures Municipality in 2020. It is located in Loures Portugal in an urban and riverside setting. Its scale is large with a budget of 3.630.000 €. Riccardo De Vincenzo collaborated as visualizer.

The project for the Requalification of Republic Square is based in the need of changing the car circulation in the area, reducing the actual conflict points by the configuration of a roundabout. This solution minimizes the impact of the road and leave the opportunity for the existence of new public spaces.

This way, the 3 principal objectives of the project are: To evidence the relation between the constructed patrimony, urban structure e the memory of the place. To favor the relation with the river. Create an urban space based on the idea of the intermodality as an attractive space.
