OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
This project is more than an artistic installation is also an interpretation of a secular party where the traditional character of each individual is called to intervene and take part. Thus, it was a project that involved the entire local community so that the party was part of all. In less than one week it was possible to build the structure.

The project started in June 17th and finished in June 30th. The project was designed for a square in Guimaraes, near to city of Porto, which celebrates St. John on June 23. The party lasted two days and the structure was removed after a week.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
For a proposal with the theme S.Joao team developed a survey around the tradition and spoke with locals. After gathering this information the design should have the socioeconomic consciousness of a country in crisis, and the materials chosen are the element that causes the reflection faded color of a gray society full of sadness. The impact achieved was amazing with many people with happiness face and joy to celebrate the S.Joao beneath the structure. It was a process full of energy that sparked the creativity of the community.
