of the Avenue's characteristics. It was no longer a privileged space for exceptional commerce and began to house other types of less characteristic exploitation. While the exceptional commerce is still predominantly located in the western part of the Avenue (which, due to its proximity to the center, has always been more prestigious), these new commercial spaces have been located mainly in the eastern part of the Avenue, where the abandonment and decline of economic activities was more visible. The decline was also observable in the state of preservation of the buildings, since this depends largely on their ability to generate wealth. It was notorious the number of ads for sale, generally in vacant buildings in a high degree of deterioration. The same was true for commercial spaces, that is, several advertisements for sale, lease and rental, even in recent buildings.

characteristics: one with generous dimensions, allowing the installation of a car dealership; and another for a less bulky branch. The four dwellings had equal floor plans, one of them being destined for the owner's residence. The entrance to the Building was set back from the street, creating a transition space. Within the living space, distinct zones were created: the service area, served by the rear façade; the public common areas were located near the entrance; the private areas faced the main façade. The design of the main façade was asymmetrical and quite rational, and the advancement of the balconies in relation to the wall cloth (as much as the protrusions) created movement in the elevation and gave it a quite modern aspect.

In the show room, on the proscenium and on the side walls there are artistic works by the Aveirense sculptor Euclides Vaz (...). Elsewhere in the building there are compositions by the Spanish sculptor Ruano. Outside, one can notice a composition of modern architecture, but without any exaggeration of reinforced concrete (...) One can see iron balconies, windows and circular openings, breaking the monotony of the big walls in a happy combination of the current taste, with memories of national styles (...).

municipality proceeding to its expropriation and sale by public auction, if not complied. This measure, revealing the importance given at the time to the Avenue and the urban space, happened in addition to a previous one (July 1944), in which owners were ordered to repair and whitewash the fronts of their buildings, as well as the walls or gables visible from the public thoroughfare within 90 days. This was an attempt to respond to the appeals of the population, published in the press, to solve the problem of the bad impression caused by the degraded walls, the unfinished gardens, and the vegetable gardens installed on unoccupied land, especially to those who came to the station from the outside.

element of this Building, base of its architecture, defining several bodies: on the first floor, a transparent and curved volume that, by its situation in corner, defined the commercial area and established the relationship with the street; an element, reading a thick visor, followed the curve and covers this area, separating it from the offices and forming a kind of balcony; the housing part was developed with a distinct volumetry, parallel to the street, although away from the relationship with them. The whole was cut by the body of the stairs, which was treated as an independent element, with immense volumetric and plastic strength. This softened the mass of the Building.

was no misrepresentation of the construction principles. It was at the lower floor level that the construction suffered the greatest changes, and these have to do mainly with the introduction of signs and alike. The changes in the elevation contemplating a more open entrance to the establishment and the opening of shop windows were made in 1931 and 1947, respectively. From the first reading of the building, the stylistic difference of this house in relation to most of its counterparts on the Avenue stands out, in a "traditional Portuguese" style, far from a more urban search for understanding the space that is expressed at the time mainly by an imported

The two rooms were on the second floor in the north and south wing, and the main façade of the Building is composed of sculptures, a triangular pediment, and an interrupted pediment over the door.

However, the tunnel built at the top of the Avenue is only for roads, forcing pedestrians to use the new station (a public use building that spreads underground and in two fronts) to cross the line. Contrary to what was previously proposed and realized, the tunnel allowed road traffic coming from the other side of the line to be drained directly onto the Avenue, further breaking the concept of the central area and public promenade. 915:(...) its perspective is so highly impaired by the existence of a wide tree-lined central plate. Dr. Lourenço Peixinho Avenue has been a central axis and driving force of the city of Aveiro. Among its most modern streets, besides Araújo e Silva Avenue, (...) the one that stands out by far and deserves special mention, for its width and length, as well as the effort that represents for the city its realization, is Dr. Lourenço Peixinho Avenue.

These edifications were built along all sections of the Avenue, sometimes in isolation. Consequently, there is, currently, a great variation in height, which, along with formal and typological variations and the degradation of some of its built heritage, have contributed over time to the aspect loss of the Avenue. In urban terms, progressive alterations have been made to the central area, changing the configuration of the Avenue. The forms of intervention in the central area denote its devaluation, as was evident in the Draft of 1948:

The modernity of the approach to the building's program corresponded to a modern language, in accordance with the architecture that was being practiced at the time in the rest of the country. The formal richness of the set (still existing) comes from the plasticity of the concrete itself, from plastic applications with the materials, the textures and shadows, without neglecting the careful, rational and rigorous design at its base.

These would be amortizable with the product of the sale of the same lands and income from the same taxes. The great difficulty of the previous councils for the construction of the Avenue was related to their inability to bear such high costs. The law on public utility expropriation of 26 July 1912 would be determinant for the works to be carried out. 939:

On one hand, the economic growth from the late 1970s on would intensify the commercial, administrative, and service life; and on the other hand, the appreciation of land prices would give rise to speculative operations that resulted in the outsourcing of these arteries. Thus, they ceased to be predominantly residential spaces and became important poles of commercial activities and work in general.

The establishments were discreet, not following the trend of the time of being announced by protrusions.

Regarding the built space, there was a concern to conserve and maintain the somewhat traditional architecture, which was observed in the rather narrow streets, of small lots occupied by buildings of one or two floors; and, on the other hand, to define a new aspect for Aveiro, with taller buildings, particularly in new housing areas and in the buildings bordering the Avenue.

Due to the lack of paving, at busy times and on strong wind days, dust would rise and form clouds; and complaints in the press were constant, demanding the irrigation service to be intensified in this area, to prevent these situations from occurring.

This renewed interest in the Avenue area had repercussions on the existing buildings, many of which were gradually rehabilitated and converted to commerce. Some services traditionally located in this area were also transformed to a more commercial and touristic side. An example of this is the closure

From the early 10s, also as a result of the decline of traditional commerce, there was an exponential growth in the number of small/medium utilitarian stores for low-value products, in a process identical to that of several other places in the country.
