The Foz do Douro breakwater is an organic structure that both connects and separates the Atlantic Ocean and the Douro River. Shaped to challenge the forces of nature and allow human interaction, its concrete forms constantly shift in a never-ending dialog between light and shadow. Both an extension and a boundary of the city of Oporto, where time and memory are reinforced by the brutality and gentleness of its elements, the Foz do Douro breakwater stands out as a powerful place to manifest continuity, closure, confrontation and silence.
