COMPETITION DESIGN AT REAL VINÍCOLA Matosinhos, Portugal
Guilherme Machado Vaz, workshop leader
Maria Souto de Moura, workshop assistant Competiton design is a part of the architects professional life since it’s beggining and until the end of it. It is most of the times an exercise that has to be done in a short period of time. The Workshop was a good opportunity for students to begin this life’s cruzade. 7 days of intense action that shall make them differentiate between the essential and the acessory in order to respond the program and meet the deadline. Time, and the ability to master it, is the key. We, as architects, usually have to wait too long before having the chance of building any of our works. We wanted to give them the opportunity to build their project, so we found a Company to sponsor the construction of the winning project. For that, we have to thank Nautilus! The competition takes place in the future Headquarters of ‘Casa da Arquitectura’ (House of Architecture) in Matosinhos. This old building is going under reconstruction and the project was designed by us. It used to be a Wine Storage building and now it’s going to be an exhibition space for architecture. There is this central place with double height in the middle of the exhibition floor that gives natural light to that part of the building. Students had to design an object made out of Wood and Steel (Nautilus request) that would interact with natural light, either filtering or reflecting it, and also relate with the beauty of the place. We gave them formal and functional freedom. We wanted team work so they formed 4 groups. To find the winning team, an external Jury commitee was organised, gathering other Workshop leaders and Porto Academy’s promoters. We are proud to present our teams work! If you want to find out who’s the winning team, you will have to visit ‘Casa da Arquitectura’ in 2017.
