Public Building | 25.000m²
Vila Nova de Gaia

In an old industrial block, fundamental to the memory of Vila Nova de Gaia, a large-scale cultural equipment is proposed, functioning as both a Museum and a Cultural Centre.

The proposed building, rather than imposing itself on the topography, nestles itself beneath it, freeing up space for the creation of a large public garden that overlooks the hills of Gaia and the views of Porto.
