filipe magalhaes and ana luisa soares: a way to say goodbye
the winning entry in a 48 hours ideas competition was themed in isolation and reflection. the small memorial structure contains areas of open spaces within intimate settings.
view from the street.
it was request a space of silence and peace, a place which was intended to represent a farewell but who found itself lost in an uncharacteristic and aimless area. the given program was small in such a vast place.
in a new concrete body were dispersed the functions embracing the woods. the argument is isolation: the building / stone / wall remains with the durability and strength of its thickness and weight. within caves and niches, different spaces comport various functions. composed with elements of several allusions it is built into the rock digging narratives in independent chambers. each space stands on its own shape and can be anything you want – the union is in the courtyard that you see as the oasis surrounded by the concrete cloister. various references build a thread of something that is desired new and contemporary.
this rock responds to the environment, the program and the ideas of sacred and profane.
