Graduation Works
TopoCity (TopoCidade) was response to the influx of immigrants from the late 90’s early 2000’s to Portugal.
This new city aims to be a welcoming environment for all families that come to Portugal in search of a better place. The city is designed with spaces for its inhabitants, niches more private or more open build congregation places for the mixture of cultures. The buildings are like small neighborhoods, where their common spaces become place for socializing. The distinct morphology and geometry of its formations allow the creation of public spaces unique and unrepeatable. This city is designed to respect creed and religions, but at the same time create a space for socializing. A city thought for pedestrians, hiding the vehicles underneath, in a Lisbon worker quarter like feature.
M.A.C.L. (Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Lisboa) intended to be a response to an unfinished urbanism. The implementation of memory space. The ruin of the Ajuda Palace, leaves open a dialogue. A dialogue that MACL revives and reinterprets. The museum solids mimics the ruins debris in order to create a relation to the palace ruin memory. By that way, the museum establishes a relation with the old built environment preserving it’s hierarchy. This approach, did not intended to continue the base Palace project or follow it’s lines. Instead tryied to bring to life, the Palace, making it to be the leading actor, and connecting the sourrounding elements in a piece of solid urbanism. Inside the MACL, aims to be a space of union between the spectator and the art, with the surrounding green, with light so special that bathes Lisbon.
