The city of Porto Alegre is susceptible to floods. A 3m-tall wall was built after a major flood in 1941, creating a physical and visual isolation from the delta in the city. The edge then became occupied by warehouses and shipping docks, making it inaccessible by the public. But as the city transitioned into a service economy, the edge has lost its former functionality.

This  project is to reactivate the edge, to allow the waterfront engage public life.
