CANDEIAS HOUSE
the house is very simple. here are shaped the most basic archetypal feelings of a mediterranean house. a house with an open courtyard with a view almost to the south, with water and a tree. it builds on a bounce of the land on which the gentle pendant intensifies. the houses seen along the way have roofs and tiles. this has a flat roof. flat but not horizontal. passes freely from outside to outside through the house. the house is a huge porch, a covered. the area of each compartment is suspended -
FUNDAÇÃO ORIENTE MUSEUM
located in the port of lisbon, the “pedro alvares cabral” building was a cod warehouse and a heritage listed building, now reused to accommodate the large collection of oriental art owned by the fundação oriente. beyond the limitations inherent to the installation of a museum program in an existing building and with very specific characteristics with which they faced from the beginning: a short walk between floors and the lack of openings on the front (dictated by the needs of the original store -
THEATRE AND AUDITORIUM OF POITIERS
the building is designed as a catalyst for events and artistic practices that contribute to greater social interaction, while being simple in every way. the theatre and auditorium dominates the limestone promontory where the city was built in roman times. the project emphasises the idea of the acropolis through the suspension of two light rectangular volumes, corresponding to the auditorium (1100 seats) and theater (700 seats), laid on a practical platform overlooking the valley. spaces to suppo -
STO. ANTÓNIO CHURCH & COMMUNITY CENTRE
from the outside, this building has an elementary volume composed of white plans. the main space has a longitudinal shape and the road leads visitors to the bare rock of quartz. the entrance-porch faces southwest. then, an atrium flanked by two ramps and the community centre. the central space of the church appears through a transparent glass. finally, an outdoor patio is defined by the existing rock, air, water, light and vegetation, an outdoor area open to contemplation. the extreme simplicity -
SCHOOL OF MUSIC — LISBON POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE
the building is organised around a large cloister plateau located in the university campus, providing an outdoor area where small concerts are improvised. to deal with the aggression of the acoustic environment, the building was studied to protect the school from noise due to its strong presence in the urban context. the north side of the volume is arranged in two levels, to provide an acoustic barrier to the cloister, while allowing for outdoor classes in the sun. the slope in the roof allows t -
PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE OVER THE CARPINTEIRA STREAM
he sinuous and segmented design of the bridge winds above de valley, along a distance of about 220 m. the central takes a path perpendicular to the line of the valley. the other two sections are inflected and oriented towards their anchoring points. the connection between the two points is no longer the shortest distance between them. the tense geometry of its layout interferes with visual orientation and with the perception of dominating heights of “serra da estrela”, on one side, and with the -
HISTORICAL CENTER, EVORA
around the roman temple, the water plans that once surrounded it, are alluded by the intro-duction of a single water plan that surround the entire temple and simultaneously preserves and expands at its reflection. the tank is constructed as a separate piece and totally unrelated to the temple. the area immediately around the temple and the new water plan is highlighted by the slight recess of the floor. the intervention on the garden of diana is more assertive in the need for clarification of th -
LISBONS CRUISE TERMINAL
facing both the tagus river and alfama's slope, the proposal presents a building designed as a simple volume, responding to the desire of liberating the surrounding area for the general public. the building is assumed towards the park and the city as a pavilion, an overflow system. it appears to be a floating volume, as it is broken, generating tension zones and inflections that suggest entry and exit points for the building. a path/promenade surrounds the building, allowing a slow discovery of -
ARCHEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF “PRAÇA NOVA DO CASTELO DE SÃO JORGE”
this intervention addressed the themes of protection, revelation and readability. first, the clear delimitation of the site with a membrane of corten steel to contain the higher perimetrical surface, allowing both access and a panoramic view of the site. stepping down to the site, a hovering structure protects the existing mosaics, its underside covered in a black mirror that allows the visitor to see reflected the vertical perspective of the pavements. for the protection of the eleventh century -
RENEWAL AND EXTENSION OF THE GERMAN SCHOOL OF LISBON
two new bodies - the primary school and the gymnasium - discretely complete the existing set. on the southern side, the volume of the primary school, over two levels and partially buried, defines the limit of the school and operates as an acoustic barrier that protects it from the noise generated by a neighbouring highway. on the northern side, the pure volume of the gymnasium blends with the existing auditorium building, redrawing the school's entrance square.
