spotlight: STOP The casestudy of a reuse, as part of the natural evolution of a city.

In the 1980s, European cities, following the American model, filled their urban voids with shopping centers. This thesis documents, in the form of an experimental documentary, the particular case of Centro Comercial Stop. A "hype" shopping center of the time, which after its bankruptcy and abandonment, was re-appropriated, by the city's inhabitants. It is a phenomenon which, n a non-place, brings together the entire music scene of Porto.
