AquaPorto 2020

Event Design

The Future is Today

AquaPorto is the biggest event on water and science held in Portugal, organised by the Porto City Council, through Águas do Porto, with the collaboration of municipal companies and services, various management entities and national educational, science and research institutions.

Live

In 2020, and due to the Covid restrictions, the Water Festival took place in a different format than usual — we experimented, learned and had fun in the digital world! The event unfolded in two parts: Aquaporto Live, a live event through art, sharing, conversations that were dedicated to children, families and schools; and Aquaporto 360, a virtually exploration to the Water Pavilion, where kids and adults were invited to explore the scientific, educational and recreational activities.

Water Drops

Extending the playful nature of the event into Porto's streets, we created a graphic solution with a set of several different water drops. Each drop is unique, every surface a new canvas - we blanketed the city with bursts of bright blue, inviting viewers to join what was a now digital festival, but a real experience.
