Centro De Informacao Do Romanico
In conceiving the ‘centro de informacao do romanico’, designers space workers wanted to reserve the identity of the site and the characteristics of the building concerned, so they decided to create an intervention rather than interrupt the existing architecture. The proposed space is a house-shaped cultural center inserted inside a nineteenth-century schoolhouse in paredes, portugal, positioned as if a solid volume has landed within that perfectly reacts to the geometry of the structure’s interior shape. the two programs—a shop and service area and auditorium—are divided by a small square. a monolithic construction with a central door is the auditorium which can be opened or closed, while the opposing fabrication is exposed with no moving walls.
