"The Ponto C - Cultura e Criatividade project is more than just a new space in the city of Penafiel. It contributes to a transformation in the city's urban fabric."
"A new entrance and a new connection with the southern area allow for structured expansion, putting aside the phrase that echoed for years as "the city split down the middle." A renewed proximity with the historic center: what was once "the back" is now a carefully designed front, facing Praça de S. Martinho."
Ponto C - Cultura e Criatividade establishes a new cultural and creative hub in Penafiel that reshapes urban connections. The intervention introduces a new entrance and a link to the southern area, enabling structured expansion and overcoming a long-standing spatial division. The design reconfigures the relationship with the historic center by transforming a formerly neglected rear into a deliberately composed frontage. The new front faces Praça de S. Martinho, strengthening proximity and visual continuity with the historic core. The initiative prioritizes urban connectivity, civic activation, and a renewed sense of place within the city.
