Gammeltorv, a praça mais antiga de Copenhaga, pulsa no coração da cidade, ligando-se à zona pedonal de Strøget e à Nytorv. Desde a Idade Média, tem sido um local vital de mercado, encontro e eventos públicos, refletindo a história social e comercial da capital dinamarquesa. No centro da praça, a Fonte da Caritas (Caritasbrønden), erguida em 1608 por Cristiano IV e subsequentemente reconstruÃda, destaca-se como um marco renascentista. Tradicionalmente, bolas de ouro flutuam nas suas águas em celebrações monárquicas. O pavimento em calçada de granito e a prioridade à mobilidade suave são evidentes. A arquitetura circundante é eclética, exibindo edifÃcios em alvenaria rebocada com torres de cúpula em cobre patinado e fachadas de tijolo vermelho, testemunhas de reconstruções e expansões dos séculos XIX e XX. Atualmente, Gammeltorv mantém-se como um ponto de encontro vibrante, unindo o legado histórico de Copenhaga ao seu dinamismo urbano contemporâneo, rodeada por cafés, lojas e edifÃcios históricos.
Gammeltorv, Copenhagen's oldest square, beats in the heart of the city, connecting to the Strøget pedestrian zone and Nytorv. Since the Middle Ages, it has been a vital marketplace, meeting point, and venue for public events, reflecting the social and commercial history of the Danish capital. At the center of the square, the Caritas Fountain (Caritasbrønden), erected in 1608 by Christian IV and subsequently reconstructed, stands out as a Renaissance landmark. Traditionally, golden balls float in its waters during monarchical celebrations. The granite cobblestone pavement and the priority given to soft mobility are evident. The surrounding architecture is eclectic, showcasing plastered masonry buildings with patinated copper-domed towers and red brick facades, testaments to reconstructions and expansions of the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, Gammeltorv remains a vibrant meeting point, uniting Copenhagen's historical legacy with its contemporary urban dynamism, surrounded by cafes, shops, and historical buildings.

A ponte pedonal Pedro e Inês, inaugurada em 2006, é uma infraestrutura projetada por António Adão da Fonseca e Cecil Balmond, inserida no programa de requalificação urbana Polis. Com um passadiço de madeira e guardas em vidro laminado com formas geométricas em quatro cores — amarelo, azul, verde e rosa —, a ponte filtra a luz solar, oferecendo uma perspetiva fragmentada da cidade de Coimbra e do curso do rio Mondego. Esta travessia facilita a mobilidade entre as margens do Parque Verde do Mondego, ligando com segurança os percursos pedonais e cicláveis. O design inovador cria uma ilusão de desencontro entre as margens, convergindo numa praça suspensa sobre a água. É através dos painéis coloridos que se observa a margem arborizada e a colina da Alta, onde se localiza a Universidade de Coimbra, patrimônio mundial da UNESCO. Assim, a ponte simboliza a conexão entre o passado histórico da cidade e a sua modernidade, sendo um espaço de encontro apreciado por residentes e turistas, que disfrutam de vistas panorâmicas e do ambiente envolvente.
The Pedro and Inês pedestrian bridge, inaugurated in 2006, is an infrastructure designed by António Adão da Fonseca and Cecil Balmond, part of the urban redevelopment program Polis. Featuring a wooden walkway and guardrails made of laminated glass in geometric shapes and four colors — yellow, blue, green, and pink — the bridge filters sunlight, providing a fragmented view of the city of Coimbra and the course of the Mondego River. This crossing facilitates mobility between the banks of the Mondego Green Park, safely connecting pedestrian and cycling paths. The innovative design creates an illusion of separation between the banks, converging at a square suspended over the water. Through the colorful panels, one can observe the wooded bank and the hill of Alta, home to the University of Coimbra, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Thus, the bridge symbolizes the connection between the city’s historical past and its modernity, serving as a meeting point appreciated by residents and tourists who enjoy panoramic views and the surrounding environment.
When I arrived at this pier, I was immediately struck by the graphic power of this green lighthouse standing like a modern sentinel. What particularly drew me in was the natural dialogue between the roughness of the concrete and this almost artificial touch of color. I waited for the right moment, and when this cyclist stopped, I knew I had my image. Their white presence brought exactly the human touch the composition needed. I wanted to capture that feeling of calm and solitude you can experience at the end of a pier, while playing with lines and textures. The soft, diffused light of this moment allowed me to highlight the different materials - the weathered concrete, the moving water, and this bright green that unifies the entire composition. My intention was to create an image where functional maritime architecture transforms into an almost theatrical scene, where each element tells part of the location's story.
Plusieurs générations de tramways racontent l'histoire mouvementée de la ville à travers leurs carrosseries et leurs époques.
Tout a commencé le 23 septembre 1875 avec les premiers tramways tirés par des chevaux, avant l'arrivée de l'électricité en 1891, mais les vraies histoires se cachent dans les détails. Des élégantes voitures de l'époque austro-hongroise aux modèles des années 50 et 70, chaque génération reflète son époque.
Les tramways des années 1920 furent révolutionnaires avec leurs neuf fenêtres latérales et leurs premières portes, permettant même à l'architecte Václav Havel de contempler son chef-d'œuvre, le Palais Lucerna, depuis sa fenêtre. Le tramway T3 MV 6102, le plus ancien conservé au monde depuis 1962, a probablement transporté l'acteur František Černý qui jouait un alchimiste dans les films des années 50, ironique quand on sait que Prague était justement la capitale européenne de l'alchimie !
En 2024, Prague a même lancé un tramway décoré comme un wagon de métro soviétique vintage pour célébrer les 50 ans du métro. Alors que les tramways Tatra T6 plus modernes ont été retirés du service en juin dernier après 25 ans d'exploitation, les T3 continuent de circuler et DPP prévoit de les maintenir en service jusqu'en 2030 au minimum.
Ces véhicules de toutes les époques créent un musée roulant où chaque trajet devient un voyage temporel, des fastes impériaux aux expérimentations communistes, jusqu'aux innovations contemporaines.

Através dos painéis de vidro laminado colorido da Ponte Pedonal Pedro e Inês, erguida sobre o Rio Mondego em 2006, observa-se uma perspetiva fragmentada e singular de Coimbra. Esta estrutura, parte integrante do Programa Polis, foi concebida pelo engenheiro António Adão da Fonseca e pelo arquiteto Cecil Balmond, integrando passadiços de madeira e guardas laterais de vidro com formas geométricas irregulares em tons de amarelo, azul, verde e rosa, que filtram a luz e modificam a perceção cromática da envolvente. A ilusão de desencontro das margens, unidas por uma praça central suspensa, confere à ponte um design tecnicamente inovador. O enquadramento propiciado pelos vidros permite distinguir o Parque Verde e, ao fundo, a encosta da cidade, dominada pela Universidade de Coimbra, classificada como Património Mundial pela UNESCO. A ponte, além de promover a mobilidade pedonal e ciclável entre as margens, funciona como elemento de desenho urbano, modulando luz, transparência e segurança e estabelecendo uma ligação simbólica entre o passado histórico da cidade e a sua modernidade.
Through the colored laminated glass panels of the Pedro and Inês Pedestrian Bridge, erected over the Mondego River in 2006, a fragmented and unique perspective of Coimbra is observed. This structure, an integral part of the Polis Program, was conceived by engineer António Adão da Fonseca and architect Cecil Balmond, incorporating wooden walkways and glass side railings with irregular geometric shapes in shades of yellow, blue, green, and pink, which filter the light and modify the chromatic perception of the surroundings. The illusion of mismatched banks, united by a suspended central plaza, gives the bridge a technically innovative design. The framing provided by the glass allows distinguishing the Green Park and, in the background, the city's slope, dominated by the University of Coimbra, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The bridge, in addition to promoting pedestrian and cycling mobility between the banks, functions as an element of urban design, modulating light, transparency, and safety, and establishing a symbolic link between the city's historical past and its modernity.

L’idea è quella di unire due bisogni essenziali della società contemporanea: lo sfrenato piacere della guida alla responsabilità e coscienza ecologica, il tutto incastonato nel magnifico scenario delle Dolomiti.
Idee ist es, zwei grundlegenden Bedürfnisse und Ansprüche der heutigen Konsumgesellschaft auf den Punkt zu bringen. Und zwar geht es darum, pures Fahrvergnügen mit umweltfreundlicher Verantwortung zu kombinieren, und dies alles vor der atemberaubenden Bergkulisse der Dolomiten.
The fundamental idea is to put two basic needs and necessities of the today’s consumer society in a nutshell: we would like to offer pure driving pleasure combined with environmental friendly responsibility, all this in front of the amazing scenario of the Dolomites.
