    .   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
                                                                                photo: José Carlos Nunes de Oliveira
        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
                                                                                photo: Casa da Música
        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.

    .   The School of Architecture of Porto articulates along the limits of
        an ancient farm right next to the Douro river, creating a wide
        central space, like an interior square, surrounded by the built
        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
        levels and functional zones. The apparent fragmentation of the
        build volumes, visible on the project drawings, recovers its
                                                                                photo: Victor Popovici

    .   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 ('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).

        gardens as they were. This is one of the first built projects of
        Eduardo Souto Moura. It's mainly composed of two parallel granite
        stone walls, with all the programin the middle. With a very
        minimalistic approach, this building is composed of great building

    .   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.

        square in a futuristic style. It was a very polemic building when

        Children Library
    .
          Address
          Rua de Entre Quintas
          4050 Porto
          Portugal




    .   This small pavilion located between the trees in the gardens of
        the Crystal Palace has two levels with a double height vestibule.
        The library appears as an "objet trouvé" in the nature,
        participating in this spontaneous environment. The volume
        resembles an old train wagon, lifted slightly off the ground
        turning it into a light and welcoming space. The used materials
                                                                                photo: João Sousa
        were chosen according to the environment, following the
        textures and colours of the nature. The structure and wall panels
        are made out of wood and the windows are sheets of transparent
        polycarbonate located at the height of the children with
        awesome views to the gardens. It's a building that fits perfectly in
        this natural environment.

        Guindais Funicular
    .
          Address
          Av. de Gustavo Eiffel
          4000 Porto
          Portugal
          http://www.metrodoporto.pt/pagegen.asp?SYS_PAGE_ID=868
          297


    .   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
                                                                                photo: João Sousa
        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.

          Address
          Rua de Camões

          Portugal




    .   Built to be the central subway station, "Trindade" has an interface
        that connects 2 subway lines resulting in a big subway station
        with commercial spaces. The materialization of the architecture
        is almost the space as all the other subway stations in the center
        of Porto and it reflects a lot of the northern portuguese way of
        building. White walls, granite floors, ceramic tiles, rough granite
                                                                                photo: João Sousa
        stone walls, all of these elements appear in the tradicional
        constructions and were recreated to fit the contemporary design
        resulting in some very interesting spaces.

        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.

    .   This housing block situated on the western part of Porto, in front
        of the Atlantic ocean is a conceptual reinvention of the
        traditional urban houses of the XVIII century. Instead of a stone
        structure, here the structure is in steel but is completely visible
        and separated from the other elements. But at the same time
        there are traditional materials that were used on the façades,

          4050 Porto
          Portugal




    .   Old property of Count of Vizela, the gardens of Serralves are an
        amazing example of the French style gardens together with the
        romantic influenced gardens and more recently with the Museum
        of Contemporary Art beautifully designed by Álvaro Siza Vieira.
        The House of Serralves was the main house of this whole property
        and began its construction in 1925 to be finished only in 1944.
        Designed by the Porto based architect José Marques da Silva,
        author of numerous beautiful beaux-arts buildings in Porto
        (Central Station, Aliados Avenue, ...). This House is a great
        example of the Art-Déco style of the early 20th century in
        Europe. Designed with a great simplicity and minimalism, the
        interiors have an enormous attention to the details and the
        natural light.

    .   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).

    .   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
                                                                                photo: Carlos Dias
        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.

    .   The building is designed like a succession of boxes disposed
        randomly over a platform. From the traditional platform-like
        style building that Souto Moura uses to make, now he rethinks the
        concept of the box-like architecture, transforming it into a
        composition of boxes that generate an urban façade over the
        avenue.

    .   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.

    Casa Armanda Passos

      Address
      Av. do Mal. Gomes da Costa
      4150 Porto
      Portugal




.   Amidst horizontal and vertical planes conditioned by the contours
    of the terrain, memories of Zen gardens and fire signs, the
    Armanda Passos house has gently risen. Designed to be lived in at
    all hours of the day, when light seeks out shade, and shade opens
    itself to the light, the house-atelier, commissioned by painter
    Armanda Passos from the most international name in Portuguese
                                                                            photo: Carlos Dias
    architecture, allows the complicity naturally created by the
    architect with his work to transpire at each step. This is the
    second dwelling designed by Siza in Porto. The first was built in
    the 1960’s on the Avenida dos Combatentes.

        She Changes
    .
          Address
          Praça de Cidade do Salvador
          4100 Porto
          Portugal




    .   Portugal is home to artist Janet Echelman's 'She Changes', a
        160-foot-tall waterfront netted wind sculpture suspended above a
        3-lane highway roundabout, which received the IFAI International
        Achievement Award and the Public Art Network's Year in Review
        Award. It is a monumental, red and white, membrane-like
        sculpture at the Praca Cidade San Salvador in the town of
        Matosinhos along the shoreline outside of Porto. Through her art,
        Janet Echelman reshapes urban airspace with monumental public
                                                                                photo: Carlos Dias
        sculptures that respond to environmental forces including wind,
        water, and sunlight. "I am a sculptor who shapes urban space. I
        prefer the immediacy and challenge of transforming sites that are
        either unnoticed infrastructure that have faded from public
        memory, or iconic landmarks that are so overexposed they
        become habitual background."

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 photo: José Carlos Nunes de Oliveira 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 photo: Casa da Música 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.

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). . Project is public! .

  • 29. photo: Carlos Dias . photo: Carlos Dias . Bar Ar de Rio . Address Cais de Gaia Vila Nova de Gaia Porto Portugal . 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 photo: Carlos Dias 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. . Project is public! . Completion 2008 . Architect Menos é Mais . Contributed by MI_MOA .

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. . Project is public! . photo: Miguel Coelho Completion 1963 .
