University Prize
University of Porto
The jury conducted a distinct evaluation specifically for universities that submitted three or more student projects completed within the academic curriculum. Based on this assessment, the University of Porto was awarded the University Prize. The Department of Landscape Architecture submitted three studio projects, all developed under the guidance of Professors Paulo Farinha Marques and José Miguel Lameiras. These projects focused on a stream corridor in Matosinhos, Porto, where students proposed a series of interventions that addressed both ecological restoration and public space activation. Their designs integrated green infrastructure strategies with carefully articulated bridge structures to enhance spatial connectivity and promote community engagement along the waterway.
