The program predicts the refurbishment of a one-family house,

on the first social housing neighbourhood of Lisbon, designed

and built between 1919 and 1933. Since then, the city

transformed around it drastically, thus turning the peripheral

and bucolic complex into a new and dynamic urban centre.

Well protected with restricted rules, this neighbourhood keeps

its structure intact, along the years.

The intervention aims to refurbish the existing construction,

respecting nowadays’ parameters of quality also given the

place where it’s located.

But the project’s main challenge is different. A careful reading

of the building reveals in its genesis, under the traditionalist

lexicon of that time and besides all the inadequate changes

made after, a clear sense of modernity.

The intervention is an opportunity to turn this explicit, until

now, always postponed. The work can be defined mainly as a

process of decantation, eliminating the elements in excess,

and ascertaining the remaining elements’ design, this way

emphasising the essential qualities of the space.

Spaces revealing new perspectives and dimensions,

presenting challenges towards the rescue of its uses and

memories, in a global set only then apprehended, which forces

the consolidation of elements weakened through time, in a

process of repackaging this spaces towards new readings and

new uses, introducing new imprints of new contemporaneity,

on the continue process of evolution of the monumental set.

The project aims to privilege the immanent character of the

pre-existence in relation to new programmatic contents.

The purpose was the creation of a space capable of receiving

activities with a temporary character, in particular of an

exhibition nature.

The demolition and previous archaeological works revealed

pre-existing fragments which broaden the approach’s

perspective of this magnificent new space, that was marked

by the discovery and ‘restitution’ of a monumental staircase on

the south aisle of the monument.

The material used was chosen so it would emphasize the

deprived hieratic subjacent to the Cistercian architecture.

RECOVERY OF THE BARN BUILDING

SANTA MARIA DE ALCOBAÇA’S MONASTERY

ALCOBAÇA

Behind the South Aisle ‘arm’ of Santa Maria de Alcobaça’s

Monastery exists an unoccupied vast area where, away from

the other constructions, a small building that has been used as

a barn is in an advanced state of deterioration.

The idea to recover this building followed the refurbishment

made on the South Aisle where a noble staircase of great

dimensions was found, which let to the believe that it was a

distribution space, articulating this aisle with another one,

perpendicular to this. It would have existed, or at least the plan

to exist, a construction symmetrical to the one existing in the

North Aisle of which the barn building would be part.

But once isolated, the barn suffered some adaptations and

additions, explaining the intriguing solution of fenestration

and the out passing of the wall alignment, that afterwards was

covered with a new hip roof.

This historical comprehension of the building, and its paper in

the monastery logic, can be valuable information for posterior

interventions, of a more extensive scope.

Regarding to its recovery, the barn is thought as an isolated

piece. Once there was no program defined for this building,

the intervention was mainly the restoration of the existing

elements. Completing stone and plaster, replacing damaged

wood, cleaning stone. The rigor of the old construction is

confirmed, and it reveals in the new stone pavement, squared

stone pieces with 1m side, without corrections.

The occupation of Lisbon’s neighbourhood, later called Lapa,

was consolidated around 1767, as seen in an aerial view of

Lisbon from this year. In this drawing, the gazebo is already

identifiable, its squared base and high inclined roof on top of a

house in S. João da Mata street.

It’s a noble house, planned for one family housing. The

building has a squared plan, occupying the street front, freeing

an arborized backyard. The program, besides the gazebo, was

organized in three storeys: ground floor for the service areas,

first floor the noble one and the last for the household

employees. The house is distinguished for the quality of its

project, for the balance of its proportions in its strict abeyance

to symmetry and also for the singularity of some elements,

such as the hip roof (4 sided roof) and the tower. The house

stands up also because of the contrast established by the

confining buildings, constructed obeying the pragmatic rules

of multi-family housing.

The building came to suffer continuous successive losses such

as: its fractioning in multiple apartments, various adaptations

and additions which jeopardised the initial house and its

degradations almost till the ruin. The comeback to a single

family housing guarantees the building recover. The creation

of habitable conditions, security and comfort approximates the

proposal to the building’s original plan.

À MARGEM, BAR IN BOM SUCESSO’S DOCK

BELÉM

LISBOA

In a zone exposed to strong winds, a structure for a bar-

esplanade is created so that, although in keeping with the

ephemeral character of a kiosk, it makes it possible to have a

greater adaptability in its implantation and in its relation with

the river and the city. The space is closed only when

necessary, allowing for a greater versatility according to the

weather, thereby acquiring the characteristics of a covered

esplanade. The services are located in an underground level.

Located in Lisbon's Port, on the riverside of the Tagus River,

the place is surrounded by the city's culture and history.

Without denying it's involving area or closing itself towards the

city, the object does not take a leading role. It stands back,

watching the River pass by. Due to its ephemeral structure, it

is not bound to the site permanently. Like a boat on land, this

object could weigh anchor and sail.

Considering the symbolic characteristics of the place and its

unique location, one attempts to break visual barriers,

allowing for a total transparency. Its drawing as an object, in

the detail, in the choice of materials and in its execution

contribute to this. A one and only metallic element – a profile

in I – and glass define the structure and its closing, suggesting

the ribs of a boat.

The metallic elements that constitute the structure and the

floor are normalized and can thus be assembled and reused

easily. In the extension of the beams the sliding doors project

outwards.

The white captures and returns atmospheres.

URBAN REQUALIFICATION OF ALCOBAÇA

SURROUNDINGS OF ALCOBAÇA’S MONASTERY

ALCOBAÇA

The architectural design aims to promote and encourage a

relationship of complementariness and harmony between the

City and the Monastery. With all its symbolic value, water was

an ally of the monks. Supplying the Abbey with water and

draining it entailed the construction of sluices and branches for

its collection and distribution.

The Monastery was erected at the bottom of two valleys

before the confluence of two rivers. The Alcôa, on higher

ground, allows water to be collected, and the Baça, on lower

ground, draines it. Celebrating the water and sensing the

presence of the rivers is decisive in this context.

Restoring the inclination of the square and creating a surface

gutters network both enhance and display the draining of the

water running to the river. A gutter for running water reveals

the alignment of the Church with the Castle and the presence

of the river Baça, flowing underneath Eng. Duarte Pacheco

Street.

The gravel surrounding the Abbey evokes the ancient yard.

URBAN REQUALIFICATION OF ALCOBAÇA

CONFLUENCE ZONE OF RIVERS ALCOA AND BAÇA

ALCOBAÇA

The intention was to create a garden on the confluence zone

of the two river’s, Alcoa e Baça in Alcobaça. This garden, due

to its sensitive character in the urban tissue and its proximity

with the City’s Library, should be affected to this

infrastructure. This space is defined by the confluence of both

rivers giving singular conditions for it to be a recreation area.

The intervention concentrates in the following intentions:

Treating the rivers margins, recovering the retaining walls and

creating a new and continuous capping in stone, connecting

the various elements of the project and reinforcing the use of

the river. Planting a garden which will introduce a river’s bush

and trees vegetation, along with the correct pavement will

create an exceptional ambience to this area. Recovering the

Hydroelectric Central, conciliating a museum with a reading

area of journals and magazines and a coffee shop of the City’s

Library, restoring the system of water channels for them to

function again. Requalification of the accesses, creating a new

path crossing the river Baça and recovering the old one

crossing Alcoa, consolidating the existing pier and all the river

accesses.

S. Martinho do Porto, Alcobaça

Oliveiras SA.

S. Martinho do Porto’s village was always related with the sea.

Its bay was food source, shelter, communication bridge with

the country and the exterior, shipyard and recreational area.

The project of urban requalification attends to the relation of

the bay with the village.

The rapprochement to the water coast is intended, through the

pedonalization of the perpendicular paths towards the beach,

the simplification of the road traffic and reduction of lanes,

lowering and sloping smoothly kerbstones, standing out the

pedonal crossing zones. The character of a space for roaming

and wandering is inherent to the Marginal Avenue. The

widening of both sidewalks allows them: on the village side, to

have a more adequate dimension to buildings that grown over

the past years, and the possibility of esplanade areas; on the

sea side, eases people movement and all the activities related

to the beach. The linearity of paths parallel to the water line

and the clearness of the look are always wanted.

The use of the local stone, is due to the fact that, despite

being a village turned to the sea, S. Martinho do Porto always

related to the surrounding areas, mainly Alcobaça’s Abbey.

There is a sense of completeness in the act of designing a

singular building - the Tourism Information Centre and the

Elevator, its surroundings – the Urban Requalification of

Comendador José Bento da Silva Square, and the town itself.

Architecture acts as a symbiosis between the spatial, social,

constructive, humanist, artistic and existential values.

The intervention as a whole aims to overcome the barrier

between the lowest level, the town, and the highest level, the

historic centre. A belvedere over the bay sets a relationship

among the sea level and the seaside resort, through the

several layers down the hill. In the interior, a birch staircase

and a glass book-shelf link the different levels of the building.

At the ground floor there is a reception counter, above it the

tourism post. From the roof plan level, there is a public stair

that goes by the coffee-shop and the esplanade.

The building communicates with the town through the

relations it provides, dissipating the contrast between the

public and the private dimension. The elevator provides easy

access to the visitors but also to the common inhabitants.

The project is inspired by the architectural and urban presence

of the admirable Pombaline 'factory', which constitutes

probably the most notable European example of the city's

Enlightenment and arguably one of the highlights of our

culture.

As expected, and as a result of previous surveys, archeology

has assumed a major role throughout the intervention. Of the

various findings, those that stand out are the wall of D. Dinis, a

national heritage, which will be integrated in the future

museum tour route, the primitive head of the antealtar which

adds value to the whole to which it belongs, the existence of a

necropolis in the area of the old church, the Pombaline posts

and their respective lattice work, and ceramic fragments

covering a spectrum whose lower limit is the 1st century AD.

The project sought a unified vision of the whole intervention, a

desire for continuous and complementary nature, where the

ancient and the contemporary, the original and the repair

work, the restoration and the proposed intervention

incorporate a new singularity that meets the needs of utility

and beauty.

Main strategies for the urban regeneration of this city area:

It is essential to emphasize the main role of the existing and

regenerated parks.

The strategy assumes the pertinence of reconversion, that

pretends to integrate the consolidated urban structures, more

than demolishing them.

To fulfil empty spaces in a ruled and accurate way,

approximate the neighbourhoods through the densification of

their peripheries, create new mobility of lightweight character,

take advantage of the new equipments to introduce the

possibility of differentiated experiences, introduce multiple

uses, are the ways of inducing urban regeneration present in

this proposal for the detailed plan for Parque Hospitalar

Oriental.

The requalification of the urban space is a fundamental

contribution for the revitalization of Lisbon’s downtown.

This urban requalification aims to meet the assumptions of the

Master plan for Baixa Pombalina to ‘consolidate the concept of

big outdoor commercial space promoting management

actions that create the necessary conditions for competitivity:

cleanliness, security, illumination, promotion, logistisc, office

hours among others. That is turning Rua da Vitória and Rua de

Santa Justa into live arteries of commercial and restoration

offer, reinforced by the accessibility from Baixa to Castelo’.

It replaces the existing pavement for stone slabs of ‘Lioz’

limestone, with a honed finishing, giving a great comfort to the

users, being the linking element of the whole intervention. In

steeper slope streets the pavement is in cubes of granite

creating more friction and avoiding accidents.

The Public Lifts Building aims to be a key player in the

reinforcement of the accessibility from downtown to the

castle, facilitating the circulation and revitalizing the

surroundings.

General principles for the strategy adopted in the

refurbishment of Liceu Camões:

Opening up the school for the community creating different

functional areas, integrating the school building in the urban

tissue creating new connections and a more fluid

communication between the interior and exterior. This way the

school can be used full time creating incomes that can

contribute for its sustainability and maintenance.

Improve the learning, working and living conditions, through

the creation of a structure of formal and informal quality

spaces, which influence positively the students, teachers and

personnel‘s behaviour and attitudes, reinforcing a long

permanence in the school area as advocated by nowadays

educative model.

Provide the centenary school installations with the

infrastructures needed nowadays and the technology required

and in constant evolution, without it destroying or

compromising the noble spaces of the original Ventura Terra’s

building.

This 19th century palace, by the owner’s initiative, D. José

Ribeiro da Cunha, it is an important sample of New-Arabian

romantic architecture in Portugal, serving as bourgeois

housing until middle of 20th century, when started hosting the

Rectory Services of the New University of Lisbon. Symbol of

economic power of its original owner, the building has many

rich spaces, with exquisite and special ornamental detail that

makes it unique. Here lies the added value for transforming

this building a part of the Charm Hotel Unit of Príncipe Real.

Given the patrimonial value of the building, the intervention’s

character is light for the existing building. The expansion is

done by excavation, adding extra space for services and a

whole new floor to connect with the intervention at North.

It is intention to recover, restore, and clean the decoration

elements, treat the carpentries, mosaics and paintings; from a

structural point of view, when necessary, new reinforcing

elements will be added and others replaced, always accessing

them without compromising the decoration elements; All

necessary infrastructures to respond to the program will be

introduced in a surgical and light way.

The genesis of the Observatory Buildings is simultaneous to

the Botanic Garden of Lisbon (1873-1878). The proximity with

the access from R. Escola Politécnica and its privilege

placement as a reception and transition space from the higher

to the lower level of the garden, gives it a strategic and

decisive row on the revitalisation of the whole Botanical

Garden, classified National Monument in 2010.

The project tries to rigorously defend that the buildings’

patrimonial values of identity and memory stand on the basis

of a contemporaneity that would give them new ‘life’ capable

of housing new uses, and nowadays needs.

Was the project’s intention to have a multidisciplinary wide

and dynamic vision of the whole and the relations between the

individual buildings, its complementarities and the system of

views over the Botanical Garden and the role that both play in

the valorisation of the city of Lisbon.

The security of people and installations was the principle

concern during the project’s elaboration.

With reasonability it’s intention to optimize accessibilities,

ensuring an intuitive, simple and equitable use of the spaces,

with clear information. Also the passive solutions will be

explored, as for the natural ventilation, tree’s shading, simple

and effective solutions that guarantee the energetic

sustainability of the buildings.
