该项目的挑战是干预新的Serra do Pilar-Cais de Gaia轴令人印象深刻的场景，同时使其与缆车的技术复杂性相协调。基本上，这也是一个创造一个新的轴，功能和视觉城市轴的问题，其特点是在景观中引入了一种非常强烈的运动。

The challenge of the project is to intervene in the impressive scenario of the new Serra do Pilar – Cais de Gaia axis and, simultaneously, harmonising it with the technological complexity of a cable car. Basically it was also a question of creating a new – axial, functional and visual – urban axis characterised by the introduction of a very strong movement in the landscape.

这种类型学是为Vila Nova de Gaia市提出的，采用了一种灵活和实用的方法，目的是在更高的层次上使该地点充满活力，并提供将港口葡萄酒旅馆和河滨(及其许多餐厅和酒吧)与大都会和Serra do Pilar连接起来的旅游机会。

This typology was proposed for the city of Vila Nova de Gaia with a ludic and functional approach with the aim of energising the site and the tourist offer connecting the Port wine lodges and the riverfront (with its many restaurants and bars) to the metro and Serra do Pilar on the higher level.

上站-电缆楼

Upper Station – Cable House

上站融合到现有的支撑墙，目的是中立和抽象，没有语言和几乎永恒的。该项目力求使房屋的正交性与电缆轴的斜度相协调，将陡峭建筑的巨大特征与相邻房屋的国内规模并列起来。通往更高层次的通道是通过坡道和楼梯实现的，它们通向屋顶

The Upper Station blends into the existing buttressed wall aiming to be neutral and abstract, with no language and almost timeless. The project seeks to reconcile the orthogonality of the houses with the obliqueness of the cable axis, juxtaposing the monumental character of the construction on the steep with the domestic scale of the adjacent houses. Access to the higher level is achieved by ramps and stairs that lead to the roof-belvedere which consolidates and completes the existing buttressed wall.

Douro河边下站大楼的位置优先考虑了公众对该空间的使用，并提高了可达性。地面站的建筑理念在于一种以船的框架为灵感的简单实用的结构：一个带有金属板条的铁骨架悬挂在一个中央混凝土结构(龙骨)上，形成两个控制台。当服务关闭时，两个可伸缩的悬挂楼梯关闭，不需要使用栅栏，从而保证了现场的安全。

The location of the Lower Station building on the Douro riverfront gives priority to the public’s use of the space and improves accessibility. The ground station’s architecture concept lies in a simple and pragmatic structure inspired on the framework of a boat: an iron skeleton with metal slats is suspended over a central concrete structure (the keel) forming two consoles. The two retractable suspension staircases shuts down the building when the service is closed with no need to resort to fencing thus guaranteeing the security of the site.

建筑形式是对这种设备的特定轴度的划分，其中非物质轴-沿着缆索轨道的运动-与包含车站柱的建筑物的物理和结构轴重合。支撑建筑物的结构轴也是基础设施，集中了缆车(售票处、信息亭、厕所)的各种支撑设备，而登机坪则被抬高。

The architectural form appears as the demarcation of the specific axiality of this type of equipment in which the immaterial axis – the movement along the cable trail – coincides with the physical and structural axis of the building that incorporates the Station’s posts. The structural axis supporting the building is also infrastructural concentrating various support equipments for the cable car (ticket offices, information booth, toilets) whilst the boarding platform is raised.

这是一个真正的两幕戏。石板提供的有节奏的形式使物体呈现出一种突变的外观，具有柔和的光学效果，透明度和不透明度取决于视点，并根据一天中光线的变化，引入节奏、Timming、所看到的一切和隐藏的一切。

This is truly a play in two acts. The rhythmic form provided by the slats gives the object a mutating appearance with soft optical effects of transparency and opacity depending on the viewpoint and according to the changes in light throughout the day introducing rhythm, cadence, timming, all that is seen and all that is hidden.
