Places of gathering
A linear drawing that can be read in both directions and recall the references from the city of Tomar.
Production & placement
From the more identifiable buildings of the Convent and Castle or the riverside bourgeois palaces to the more prosaic apartment blocks and townhouses from the downtown. There is also an homage to the schools, city hall and public institutions that are an essential part of the urban life of Tomar.
Final setting
Depending on the hour of the day, the steel plates takes on a different hue.
A subtle line that floats at eye level telling the story of the city.
