By creating a distinct topographic design, new paths with different speeds and open plateaus for permanency are created. In addition to the slope itself, now for pedestrian use only, the project integrates the square next to the cinema located at a higher-level plateau using these same principles. Despite its singular design the intervention accommodates itself in the existing urban space by alleviating the gradients of the slope and making use of materials historically found in the pavements of Salvador. Even though traditional materials like Portuguese tile and granite were chosen, the use of new technologies such as water jet cutting allowed for new possibilities such as rounded shapes, non-geometric designs and non-standardized finishing pieces.
