Serralves Pavilion, Porto

The design focus on the creation of two concentric spaces with distinct functions: the interstitial space and the central space. The pavilion features an abstract skin, a continuous facade across its curved surface, built on four levels of vertical wooden planks. Contributing to the control of natural light in the interior space, the juxtaposition of two facade-plans, curved and parallel, which alternately open double-curved arc spans, guides the visitor to walk through the immersive space of mediation (as an antechamber-path) without revealing the central nucleus (as a space-enclosed), the projection place where the film "Os humores artificiais" (2016) by Gabriel Abrantes is shown.
