The river basins of Costa’s Creek and Santa Luzia’s Creek were
crucial for the creation of the medieval village of Guimarães. Completely
aware of the foundation stones of this urban area, the study of the area of
Couros draws us immediately to the study of River Couros and all water
lines of the surrounding ground.
From the waterlines in the ridges that created the city of
Guimarães to this particular case study river, we set ourselves to identify
all water resources for a better use of them in the future, allowing a
different distribution of this asset – water- now a worldwide concern. To
value the environmental features of this area through the restoration of
these resources as well as the recovering of physical structures such as
water pipes and all the intangible contents which are the core of this
central project. The area of Couros rises from the river Couros. The value
of water is intrinsic to the production of all the tasks regarding tanning.
As of now, we will point out several tasks which demand an
exemplary urban and architectonic performance made by the technicians
and politicians of the City Hall within the concept required by the
classification as World Cultural Heritage.
