. This project concerns the conversion of a small 50m2 restaurant
into a Lounge Bar, at the riverside front in Porto, Massarelos.
Plastered stucco boards were placed around the walls, hanging
over a contrasting dark wooden floor. The customer’s area was
separated from the services and supporting spaces such as the
sanitary, the kitchen and the DJ cabin, installed in half of the
former restaurant kitchen. After all, the DJ is the new coking
master over here. These “fleshy” spaces got moulded in orange

juicy colours, contrasting with the white/beige painted main
room. The relation with the beautiful outside landscape was
improved by emphasising the presence of the 4 existing windows
as absences in the walls, inviting for contemplation. The lighting
as well the furniture was carefully chosen, out of vintage stores,
in order to fulfil the client’s will of spending few and creating an
atmosphere that could be cosy, slightly minimalistic and
sophisticated at the same time.

. After Porto was selected one of the 2 cultural capitals of Europe
in 2001, an international competition started, for a new concert
hall to be positioned in the historical centre. The shape directly
derived from ‘programmatic-piling-up’. Two shoe-box concert
halls were piled first, the other public programs were added onto
the shoe-boxes and the ‘remaining’ spaces between the public
functions were filled up with secondary serving spaces, such as
foyers, restaurant, terraces, technical spaces and vertical

transport. A continuous route connects all functions and
‘remaining spaces’ by stairs, platforms and escalators: the
building becomes an architectural adventure. The loop creates
the possibility to use it for festivals with simultaneous
performances. Wave-like corrugated glass is used in both the
1300 seat grand auditorium and its smaller 350 seat counterpart.
Through material transparency each space reveals its contents to
the city; showing an array of performances and cultural events.

. This café is situated along the river Douro in the old city centre.
It is a simple glazed pavilion, integrated into the lively quayside
surroundings. When all the glass doors on the south side are
opened, the café is transformed into a large, covered open-air
terrace. The only solid boxes are the two service-zones inside,
one for the bar, and the other for sanitary services. The pavilion
seems to hover above the ground on a small raised platform. The
terrace has an amazing canopy, resembling the sails of the ships
passing by.

. A roughly north-south longitudinal axis serves as the framework
for the project. Two asymmetrical wings branch off to the south
from the main body of the museum, creating a courtyard between
them, while another courtyard is formed at the northern end
between the L-shaped volume of the auditorium and the public
entrance atrium. The volume of the main building is divided
between exhibition spaces, offices and storage, an art library and
a restaurant with adjoining terrace. The auditorium and
bookstore have independent entrances and may be used when the
museum itself is closed. The exhibition area is composed of
several rooms, connected by a large U-shaped gallery - it
occupies most of the entrance level, extending to the lower floor
in one of the wings. The large doors that separate the different
exhibition spaces and partition walls can be used to create
different routes or organize separate exhibitions simultaneously.

volumes. This intervention reveals a lot of sensibility with the
surroundings, in communication with the river and the sea.
Stairs and ramps distribute the various accesses to the different

Bouça Housing Complex

Address
Rua da Boavista
4100 Porto
Portugal
. This project, from 1973, was integrated in the program SAAL in
Porto to create social housing for poor people. And even though
it was made through highly controlled costs, Siza Vieira managed
to create a housing complex that is worth studying and visiting.
In 1977 there where only two blocks completed. Nowadays, in
2004, all the blocks were concluded and a new life was given to
this complex. Instead of having only poor people living here, the
low prices and high quality living attracted artists, architects and
photo: João Sousa
young couples to settle in. With four levels, each block present
an articulation in terms of passages that connect the whole
complex. Together with the housing units there is also
commercial spaces and green open spaces.

Gosho Restaurant

Address
Avenida da Boavista 1277

Portugal
. Gosho Restaurant ('Imperial Palace') is located in the food court
of a 5-star hotel. The project contains several specific areas for
the several types of Japanese food that the restaurant serves,
with a total capacity of 101 seats. The atmosphere of the
restaurant cherishes 'being' in public, through different themes.
Besides evoking traditional Japanese architecture through a crude
and strong presence of the materials, the design creates photo: Fernando Guerra
theatricality with two entrance tunnels and a raised arrival,
underlines with white paint the amusing and seemingly irrational
posture of the existing structure and nourishes a certain mystery
by dissolving the space limits with a permeable curtain, a
translucent screen and dark periphery walls (text from architect's
website).

Manoel de Oliveira Cinema House
.
Address
Rua de Viana de Lima
4150 Porto
Portugal
. The Cinema House represents a significant change in the formal
expression of Eduardo Souto de Moura. A change of style that
approaches this work to the formal expression of the architecture
of Siza Vieira. This building pretends to be similar to the
surrounding houses, having some distortions to fit better on the
plot. The overall image resembles to the lens of the camera, with
dynamic eyes like the insects, searching for the views to the see
in between the buildings.

tension with the glass façade that defines the corner of the

. The Funicular connects the Douro river bank to the high town at
the Batalha quarter, through the Guindais slope. It is the new
way that grasps itself to firm stone and ends in a tower facing the
river, such as the old wall which leans on a big rock. At both
edges of this trajectory there are two stations, each one looking
for the adequate relation to each part of the town and its

immediate environment areas. Both stations are entirely built of
white concrete, the most brilliant colourgrade in the North: in
the subterraneous station at the mountain in order to better
reflect the light entering through the vertical accesses and
skylights; in the station at the valley, to make reference to the
clear plans of the slope. The water which runs along the slope
and the line of the valley formed by the rails, controlled by little
dams that decrease and sustain its speed, falls freely as a cascade
in the interior of the station, being then conducted to the river.

Burgo Tower
.
Address
Avenida da Boavista
Porto
Portugal
. This office complex is located in the Avenida da Boavista, the
biggest straight line avenue in Portugal that extends from "Casa
da Música" till the Sea in West. This complex opens a large square
between the two buildings, one horizontal and the other vertical.
The square is occupied by a big sculpture by the Porto
architect/sculptor Nadir de Afonso. The buildings were drawn
with very simple shapes, following the influences of Mies and the
Chicago buildings. The main interest about the building is its
façade. Its skin is composed out of a single module that wraps all
the volumes. That module was studied so it could fit on 2
different ways creating a glass façade and an opaque façade.

Oporto Blood Bank
.
Address
Rua do Bolama 133
4200 - 139 Porto
Portugal
http://www.ipsangue.org/maxcontent-documento-111.html
. The O’Porto Blood Bank is built on a detached plot with an
irregular polygon in the heart of a city block. The building-as-line
runs through the polygon´s different directions searching its
geometry. The Blood bank supports all activities of regional blood
collection and analysis as well as its partition in 3 components
(erythrocytes, plasma and platelets). These components are later
photo: FG+SG
to be distributed to hospitals and pharmaceutical industries. This
typology is new and hardly tested. It has a great complexity due
to permanent risk of blood contamination. Continuous scientific
and technological developments force permanent alterations. It
is therefore a building with an unstable interior, which will
undergo frequent metamorphosis throughout its life. The building
program is a linear sequential process (of blood disassembly). It
suggests to be more adequate a low and fluid construction rather
than a high building, as pointed out by the neighbouring housing
buildings (5 and 6 levels).

Bar Ar de Rio

. The bar “ar de rio” is a restaurant and cafeteria with a terrace,
situated on the southern river banks of the Douro. It’s a compact
pavilion designed by Francisco Vieira de Campos and Cristina
Guedes (Menos é Mais) that’s most noticeable for its cohesive
architectural and structural concept. The «beehive» construction
system – in hexagonal modules of solid steel – becomes the

formal pattern for the building’s external and internal texture.
The efficiency of the design is also revealed by its lightness,
reducing vertical structures to a minimum and allowing greater
transparency. The final result is striking for its abstract quality
and expressive potential for invisibility or opacity.

Address
Rua do Ouro 807
4400-000 Porto
Portugal
. Arrábida Bridge (Ponte da Arrábida) was designed by Portuguese
civil engineer Edgar Cardoso in 1963. The project mentioned here
was included in the design as an observation post to watch the
construction works on the bridge. The structure has been
renovated by architect Miguel Tomé and transformed into a
restaurant and bar. The building is undoubtedly one of the
architectural gems of Porto, but still undervalued. Perhaps this is
due to the fact that the initial project was designed by a civil
engineer, although one of the most notable in Portugal.
