The project seeks to relocate Vitória, the capital of Espírito Santo state, on Brazil's cultural map. Located in the "Enseada do Suá", a long flat area that forms the island of Vitória, the “Cais das Artes” is designed to set a public promenade along the sea. The buildings are suspended to allow free view of the mountains of Penha Convent, important point of the local landscape, and create a large plaza for public use.
