The aim of this dissertation is to enhance the street tradingspace, in the context in which it is inserted, in Caminha,requalifying the market, as well as standardizing the design ofthe marginal included in the intervention zone.If in the past the terms of street fair and market weremerged, with the development of cities and their economy,these terms became distinct. It is since the introduction of thecurrency, that trade increases, and having Mercantilism a majorrole in the city life, we see the space, which in the classicalantiquity, served as a bridge of cultural and political meeting,for exchanging ideas, has become specialized. The marketbegins to take shape in the city, to have a space to settle. Inthe nineteenth century in order to store products, marketsgained a fixed position in the urban design, many as we knowthem today. The Street Fair being a weekly commercial activitywas often developed, in other urban areas, in empty spots ofthe urban network.Defending and qualifying the street fair space, as well asthe market by offering infrastructure that are lacking, canintroduce growth, diversity, selectivity and quality of what issold. Aiming to combat, which is sometimes a misperception ofthis commercial activity.All architectural intervention will take into account theneed for a marginal intervention in this city, requalifying it,while integrating the street fair and market spaces. The newqualified public space will allow a direct relationship betweenthe center of Caminha and its river front.
