multi-use pavilion of guimarães
guimarães, portugal, services
The Multi-use Pavilion of Guimarães is a structurally “isolated” building, and is made up of three units which appear to have been set down on the land, but with different characteristics – the largest unit corresponds to a large multi-functional main room and the two smallest correspond to the administrative area and a sports area. The first is covered in toughened glass, the others in wooden boards.
They are plain, “designless” volumes, and aim to form a topologic and volumetric relationship with the immediate surroundings and the city, using its size and covering as structurally linguistic elements.
