Located next to the Fonte Nova public washhouse, close to the city center, it is the most urban intervention in the set. The pipes, arranged on the wall of the E-Redes transformer station, form a stylized cut-out of the map of the municipality of Braga, representing each of its 37 parishes with different colors and diameters, evoking population and geographical diversity.
The title refers to the city and the University of Minho, alluding to the academic spirit. The installation, located in a small picnic area that was renovated in 2010, pays homage to Braga and reinforces its identity.
