[Excerpt from the Term of Reference]: The last stilt system on Outros Territorios itinerary, this one is very similar to that previously described, being similarly colossal in scale, with a horizontal, regular design offering expressive views of the surroundings. The main difference between these two “giants" is the greater continuity of the internal spaces here, which form a massive open gallery. The building is surrounded by other stilted apartment blocks, so its already vast scale seems further amplified spatially, almost like a hall of mirrors multiplying the space ad infinitum. There is little or no vegetation here, and most of the ground is soft or beaten earth, sometimes sloping, sometimes level. The structure can be accessed from Professor Euclydes Ferreira Street, but not from inside the building. An intervention planning a temporary public occupation of the space may require the installation of stairways, railings and ramps, etc.
