3RD PLACE PRIZE

Project for the public competition for the urban regeneration of the Terreiro do Palácio Nacional de Queluz.

The area in front of the National Palace of Queluz, an iconic national monument, is completely occupied by vehicles, either due to traffic lanes or irregular parking.


This proposal aims to restore part of the original Baroque planning, adapting it to today’s needs.

To achieve this, traffic will be redirected in order to free up the space for a square, recreating the geometric purity of the original design and restructuring the hierarchy of spaces and urban layout.
