This thesis is the result of a personal confrontation with the theme of inhabiting the landscape in the act of designing in architecture, having as practice of a theory the intervention in the Livraria do Mondego in the area of Penacova. This project and their themes are developed according to the research about the identity of a territory, where landscape and heritage play a determining role. The architecture appears in this (re)visit, in this (re)view of the place. The analysis and choice of this territory was not only based on its sublime natural and patrimonial characteristics, worthy of being valued. This site of the Livraria do Mondego, an example of an unit that had been destroyed by the construction of the Main Itinerary of Beira Litoral (IP3), leads to a reflection about the problem of landscape, territorial integration and alteration of the perception scale. In fact, "this showing of what we see gives rise to the landscape, the lack of interest in the simple logical environment ... The story and its discursive reasons take second place. And, look, there are plans, proximity and lengths, distance and points of view, that is, perspective"2, proportion and scale(s). The structure of this thesis is delineated in a space between theory and practice, between time, memory and matter and design as construction of landscape. Its organization by chapters and isolated themes has the objective of empowering its reading, as well as its reflections. The project intends to appear as a theoretical continuity, evidencing the system of places based on the idea of node, route and limit inherent to the (re)vision of the landscape of a concrete place.
