Excerpt: Meeting Centre in Grândola by Aires Mateus is an architecture project featuring a unique form determined by the distances, alignments, and proportions of its context. The program determines the project, a meeting center for large or small groups. The ceiling’s variations and geometry answer the program, with horizontal clarity and support functions deepening the external and peripheral walls.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] The context in its distances, alignments, proportions, define the mass. The program determines the project. A meeting centre for large gatherings or small groups.
The ceiling, in its variations and geometry, answers the program. A complete horizontal clearness outlines the space as a whole, which as atmosphere opposes the weight of the vertical voids.
The support functions deepen the external and peripheral wall. The final image is determined by the interaction of internal space and occupied façade.
