Auditorium

Porto, Portugal, 2005


Two abstract and closed volumes – the auditorium and the sports hall – define the block, organizing a succession of public spaces finalized by the platform turned south – the parking building – that relates directly with the landscape.
The objectual character of the project due to the specific functions of the buildings relays on their massive presence, which only loses its strength when touching the squares, through the openning of large windows.
The white concrete building lies peacefully over the street reaching the lowest level. Inside, the foyer is occupied by the big slope that leads to the auditorium access, relating in mezzanine with the cafeteria.
