These stencils became an important tool to invite a broad public to contribute and be part of various interventional architecture projects. From the touristic and upper class neighbourhoods of Castelo and Jardim das Amoreiras, to the middle-class Alvalade and Campo Santana, through to the former fishing village of Trafaria, the Translucid Stencil Tiles workshops gathered everyone around the same creative practice. The main positive impact of this tool is the creation of a personal bridge that helps overcome social, language, and age barriers, leading people to communicate openly and allowing new relationships to form.
