Cultural Center_Queluz

The challenge of this project was to invigorate the area of Queluz through a program of "meeting and culture" in a place of our choice in the city. The place chosen for the intervention was an terrain between the Artillery Regiment and the Basic and Secondary School Padre Alberto Neto. Side by side to this terrain is located the old games field of the regiment, at the present very degraded and careless. This element that is now so indifferent and dysfunctional was seen as the engine of this new project and it was from this thinking that this whole new space develops using it as the connecting link of the regiment to the city. In this way it's created there a big public square that culminates in the building that I propose, managing to create a space of encounter and culture not only for the building itself but for the intrinsic relation that this new square and all the surrounding space will create with the city. This new building counts with a restaurant, bar, bookshop, library, exhibition and conference rooms.
