This project aims to recover the set of ruins on the agricultural property of Fazenda de São Bartolomeu.

The Existing Situation

The whole is more like a small village where each building is a distinct part of its neighbor. A rich variety of typologies appears and yet there is a profound uniformity in the whole. The old facilities dedicated to agriculture were built and adapted according to new needs. The replacement of people by the machine brought changes in use.
