the competition aimed for the reabilitation and expansion of the Abrantes old Market. 
The design proposal intended to create a small acropolis, where the market structure stands at it's highest point. smooth platforms successive make the path from the new linear fair to the historic city, with the tower symbolically marking the old walls.  

The new parts proposed feature a multi-porpuse room, being able to extend to the stair-case, a cafeteria, cinema and parking. 

All the new volumes would be local limestone cladded.
