官方赛事介绍

A history
facing the ocean
Cidade Velha
, on the island of
Santiago
, is one of the most significant places in the history of
Cape Verde
. Founded in the 15th century as
Ribeira Grande
, it was the first urban settlement in the archipelago and soon became a strategic center along the
Atlantic routes
, where trade, religious power, military defense and culture converged.
Its landscape still preserves traces of this memory: the ruins, the system of forts, the stone, the relationship with the ocean and the morphology of the coast all reveal a deep and fragile identity.
Since 2009, Cidade Velha has been a
UNESCO World Heritage Site
: designing here means engaging with a unique context, where every new architecture must arise from respect for
history
,
landscape
, materiality and the
horizon
.
This is the site chosen for the first
ARCH CHALLENGE architecture competition in Cape Verde
: an open call for architects, designers and students worldwide to reimagine this extraordinary place.
The Challenge
Design with the land,
not over it
The challenge begins with the desire to imagine a
residential complex
capable of belonging to the place before occupying it. The new units should engage with the
natural morphology
of the land, following its slopes, views and orientations, in order to build a balanced relationship between
architecture
,
landscape
and everyday life.
We are looking for proposals that can interpret the territory with respect, through
sustainable materials
, coherent construction solutions and integrated open spaces. The project should also consider the long-term experience of living in this place: light, shade, privacy, ventilation and the connection with the ocean.
Functional aspects, such as access, internal paths and
parking areas
, should be part of the design, not secondary elements, contributing to the quality and real
feasibility
of the intervention.
