BOUCA CASAS SOCIALS 1973 - 1977, 2001 - 2006

LOCATION Rua de Boavista - on the south edge of Porto’s major East-West thoroughfare which connects the city with the harbour. TYPOLOGY - MAISONETTE The housing scheme is made up of 2 stacked maisonettes, with gallery access. Maisonette’s range from 74m2 - 80m2. Access to the upper gallery is through a communal stair at the South end of each block. Access to the stacked maisonette is by a dramatic narrow & steep stair in front of each dwelling in the central courtyard. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project is defined by an exaggerated double wall that runs along the tracks at the north edge of the site to protect the apartments from the sound of the trains which run along an elevated railway embankment and also to order the site. Four parallel but discontinuous rows of four story row houses are attached perpendicular to this wall forming four courtyards. The southern end of each row is designed to contain community facilities such as laundry, library & meeting spaces. The design is as traditional as it is abstract in its references to the Modernist European housing of the 1920’s and also to the local building traditions of Bouca. Early modernist architectural vocabulary includes: - White plaster walls - Elementary geometry - Lack of decoration - Simple openings Traditional elements can be found in the composition of linear rows of houses and communal courtyard spaces, which reference to ilhas (typical working class houses of Porto’s industrial period at the end of the 19th century).

ADDITIONAL FEATURES - Shortly after the Portuguese April 25th Revolution of 1974, Siza joined an organisation called SAAL who sought to alleviate poor housing conditions in Portugal. After the right wing coup of 1975, SAAL’s power was reduced and the Bouca social housing project was halted in 1977. - Due to severe housing shortage in Portugal, the project was revised and rebuilt in 2001, with only a few minor changes to Siza’s original design. - The three courtyards have three separate characters / functions: Courtyard 1. A modern passage with straight façades and red coloured walls, giving the feeling of a sculpture garden. Courtyard 2. A stage, with the galleries of the row houses facing into this space, the elevated part of the courtyard feels stage like. Courtyard 3. The character of the original design, a small community area.

BOA NOVA TEA HOUSE 1963

LOCATION Leça da Palmeira, Portgual TYPOLOGY Tea house and resturant

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Designed by a young Siza with his fellow students, the tea house perches on the rocks right by the sea, only a few hundred metres from the Leca pools which were to follow two years later. A genuinely remarkable building due to the enviable specificity of both the spatial progression and the grounding within its context. A meandering yet controlled walk to the entrance of the restaurant takes the visitor through a series of turns, hiding and then revealing the ocean along the way. Framed views of the ocean and the rocks from the entrance are followed by a walk down a stair to the main tea house and restaurant, stepping over the concealed ancillary space of the kitchen to the rear of the building. Beautiful wooden joinery, furniture, lamps and sea views create characterful rooms with sloping ceilings.

MATERIALS Concrete, render, terracotta, wood

ADDITIONAL FEATURES An amazingly controlled and specific piece of architecture, so the greatest surprise was the showstopping electric windows which fall away into the floor. Whilst a complete contradiction to the subtlety of the rest of the building, they are genuinely terrific and allow the visitor to step out onto the rocks and look at the sea.

LECA SWIMMING POOL 1966

LOCATION Leça de Palmeira, Portugal

TYPOLOGY Public Lido

PROJECT DESCRIPTION One of Siza’s earliest works, the Leca Swimming Pools are set within the existing rock formations of the coastline, North of Porto. They are a beautiful example of architecture defined by its landscape with minimal intervention. Arrival into the pools begins from the promenade above and then drops down behind the rocks into a concrete and black stained pavilion. This contains almost pitch black changing room and showers which then lead onto a walkway concealing views of the pools and ocean below. At the end of the walkway the ocean is revealed with the pools nestled below between the rocks. The pools themselves are defined by simple concrete walls poured between rock formations to create pools that are topped up with sea water.

MATERIALS Concrete, timber and natural stone.

SERRALVES MUSEUM 1999 LOCATION Located in the Serralves Park, the Museum is in direct dialogue with the Serralves Villa, with it’s Art Deco architecture and the surrounding gardens. TYPOLOGY Museum of Contemporary Art

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The architectural plans for the Serralves Museum were first drawn up in 1991 by the architect Alvaro Siza. The new building was finally inaugurated in 1999, harmoniously integrated within the surrounding urban area and the pre-existing spaces of the gardens of the Park and Villa. The site was chosen so as to create the least possible impact on the surroundings. The building is erected in a longitudinal manner from North to South, with a central body divided into two wings, separated by a patio to create a U-shaped structure. An L-shaped construction creates a second patio that connects with the main building and serves as the main access to the Museum. The Museum has 14 exhibition galleries distributed over three floors. The upper floor is the location of the restaurant, Education studio, and Multipurpose room. A terrace leading from the restaurant provides expansive views of the Serralves Park. The entrance floor provides access to the exhibition galleries and bookshop. The fluid disposition of the spaces of the Museum offers the visitor multiple itineraries and points of view suited to the changing programme of exhibitions and related activities. The architecture is characterised by the succession of long perspectives through the building and to the exterior in the form of visual ‘escape routes’ to the gardens. In the interior natural and artificial lighting are combined.

MATERIALS The structure of the building is in concrete and steel, with an exterior covering of granite and painted plaster. Locally sourced materials are used for the building’s roof covering. Inside the building, the floor is in oak and marble, walls and ceilings are constructed of painted and gypsum plaster.

PORTO SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE 1985-1996

LOCATION Via Panorâmica Edgar Cardoso, Porto, Portugal TYPOLOGY Education

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Faculty of Architecture within Porto has been long established and produced the two most famous Portuguese Modernist architects, Álvaro Siza and Eduardo Souto de Moura. However, growing numbers of students within the fine arts made teaching architecture untenable and Siza was commissioned to design an independent facility. When compared to the materially rich and site specific qualities of the early Leca projects, there is a hard to place sterility about the feel of these larger scale buildings. The separate blocks for different stages of the school also feels a bit segregated and strange. However, there is still a lot to like, from the full height opening windows on the ground floor, opening the ground floor through level access to the garden beyond, and the carefully deigned yet simple catches on the windows of the floor above.

MATERIALS Rendered walls, glazing, metalwork

ADDITIONAL FEATURES Bespoke elements, such as the window catches, seem common in the projects we visited in Porto, certainly more so than we see in the UK. There is also an element of continuity with metalwork across Siza projects: the studio window catch detail is used at the Santa Maria Church, scaled to many times its original size.

ALVARO SIZA

SANTA MARIA CHURCH 1996

LOCATION Av. Gago Coutinho 4630-206 Marco de Canaveses TYPOLOGY Tripartite religious complex for a rural parish arranged around an elevated piazza. It includes a church with a mortuary chapel, a parochial centre with an auditorium and Sunday school, and a site for the priest’s house that remains unbuilt.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The church consists of a 400 seat worship space on an upper geometric volume accessed from the Piazza, with the mortuary chapel beneath set within a granite plinth that is accessed through a cloister and garden on the lower end of the site. The 10m high main entrance doors are opened for select ceremonies, through which afternoon light penetrates deeply into the nave. The Baptistery occupies one of the projecting volumes by the main entrance, with the everyday entrance and stairway to the organ and bells located in the other. The design of the nave refers to precedents in church architecture in order to evoke the sense of church without the use of explicit religious imagery and symbols. It is illuminated by three elements: large high level openings set within its curved wall on the Northwest, a continuous horizontal opening along the southwest wall, and a north lit light shaft behind the altar that also serve the mortuary chapel below. A subsidiary rectangular form on the Northwest of the nave contains the extension to the alter, the sacristy, registry and confessional rooms.

MATERIALS External walls - Reinforced concrete wall structure with brick cavity walls finished in white rendered, clad in Granite at low level. Roof - Zinc External Paving - Granite Internal floor - Oak, marble Other - Handmade tiles to select areas, some with crosses to mark the site of each sacrament. Marble incorporated in features such as the altar, presidential chair and the baptismal font. Main entrance door finished in steel and clad in Oak internally. Timber Cross in gold leaf. Tabernacle in cherry wood with silver plate

indescribably alone (in fact the latter would certainly be one of the best means for the purpose, perhaps in story-form), but the same inability of photography to communicate the specific sense of his work. This is also because his design includes a unique temporal dimension, resulting not only from the processes required for coming into contact with his structures, but also from his ability to establish a type of autonomous memory of the design, completely present in the final structure, built by the accumulation and purification of successive discoveries which are constituted as data of later structures. Nothing is planned in and of itself, but always in relation to belonging. Above all, for Alvaro Siza, coming from northern Portugal—stony, clear, poor and full of intimacy, where the light of the Atlantic is long and

The first time I visited Portugal, I had met Alvaro Siza the year before in Barcelona, a little more than twenty-five years ago. Then, the next summer we spent a couple of days together in Oporto and went to see his works, many still in progress: Banco do Oporto in Oliveira and the Vila do Conde, his brother’s house, the pool at the ocean and the Quinta da Conceiçao in Matosinhos, already completed in 1965. I remember being particularly struck by the small homes in Caxinas, a village thirty kilometers north of Oporto and home to a few hundred fishermen. For the past several years prior to that, these fishermen were renting part of their own homes

CASA DA MUSICA 2005

LOCATION Av. da Boavista, Porto, Portugal TYPOLOGY Opera House

PROJECT DESCRIPTION A new opera house, with massing based around the theme of a meteor which has landed in the city, with surrounding rippled landscaping from the force of the impact. In both section and plan, the building is entirely at odds with what one might expect: an orthogonal auditorium within a complex geometry instead of a complex acoustic shape forced into an square urban block.

MATERIALS Wide ranging material palette consisting largely of concrete, glass, wood, metal glazed tiles ADDITIONAL FEATURES A smorgasbord of architectural ideas, and in many ways a remarkable project, the building nonetheless feels fairly uncomfortable to be in. Perhaps surprisingly, given its unusual form, the opera house feels successful on an urban scale, the ‘shock wave’ ripples of the meteor’s impact generating interest from young children with bikes and teenagers with skateboards.

ORDEM DOS ARQUITECTOS 2016

LOCATION Rua Alvares Cabral, Porto

TYPOLOGY The Headquarters of the Portuguese Architectural Association are a series of joined buildings with mixed use, comprising largely of flexible spaces for co-working, education and meeting alongside administrative functions. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Fourteen years after the acquisition of two houses on Rua Alvares Cabral in Porto, a new headquarters for the Northern Regional Section of the Order of Architects was completed. The buildings along the street front present themselves as twin bourgeois houses from the late nineteenth century. However, a contemporary blue gate with the acronym OASRN across the front provides an entrance to the extension behind and the start of a transition to the extension behind. A passageway takes the visitor from the stained glass and glazed tiles of the renovated buildings to the recently added extension. These monolithic grey wings adjoin the existing buildings, receiving the public and offer access to the interior.

MATERIALS Renovation of existing: detailed stucco ceilings, hydraulic mosaic floors, green glazed tile roofs for the projecting windows. New build: Stone (even the roof), glass timber, metal fixings

ADDITIONAL FEATURES An interesting exploration of spatial progression through external spaces and the relationship between old and new.

LIVRARIA BOOK SHOP 1864-1944

LOCATION Cedofeita, Santo Ildefonso, Sé, Miragaia, São Nicolau e Vitória, in the northern Portuguese municipality of Porto. TYPOLOGY Gothic Revival book shop

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Along with Bertrand in Lisbon, the Lello Bookshop is one of the oldest bookshop in Portugal.

MATERIALS Granite, Wood, Stonework, Painted Plaster

ADDITIONAL FEATURES The ample interior space is marked by a forked staircase connecting to a gallery on the first floor with detailed wood balusters. Over this staircase is a large 8 by 3.5 metres (26 ft × 11 ft) stained glass window, with the central motto Decus in Labore and monogram of the owners. The ceiling and interiors are treated exhaustively with painted plaster, designed to resemble sculpted wood surfaces and decorative elements.

OH!PORTO CONCRETE APARTMENTS 2016

LOCATION Calçada da Serra, Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal TYPOLOGY Aparthotel

PROJECT DESCRIPTION A renovation and vertical extension of an existing building, to create a series of apartments for short term rent. Over the river and beyond the edge of the city boundary, the apartments offer views over Porto and its colourful yellow rendered walls. The architects were students who had just finished studying and the architect who showed us around described the conception of the building as a labour of love. Often working long into the night, agonising over the details and producing lots of detail each of the building elements. The constrained site, abutted against the rocks creates a complex geometry and the quality of finishing around these areas in particular is impressive, especially to the small, angular, protruding balconies.

MATERIALS Concrete, metal

ADDITIONAL FEATURES The element of craft and bespoke details are telling of the time that the young architects were willing to invest. In some areas they might have learnt from the project. For example, the new metal windows and doors have a very fine tolerance around the existing stonework at ground floor level, not more than a couple of millimetres. Perhaps too fine, said our guide, as installation proved difficult.

MELO SOUSA + FERREIRA

PASSOS MANUEL GARAGE 1939

LOCATION Rua de Passos Manuel, Porto, Portugal TYPOLOGY Car park

PROJECT DESCRIPTION To paraphrase Douglas Adams, it is not a coincidence that the phrase ‘as pretty as a car park’ does not exist in the English language. There are a few that are nice enough, Allies and Morrison in Sheffield for example, but typically they are utilitarian buildings. In central Porto, however, tthere are a couple of Art Deco Car Parks in this area and the Pasos Manuel Garage has a facade to compete with the Art Moderne Colseu do Porto across the road. Still operational as a car park, a narrow stair takes you up floor by floor, offering views to the echoing parking levels. At the top level, however, the garage has been converted into a pizza place with a cocktail bar and art gallery. Trendy.

MATERIALS Concrete, render, stained glass, neon lights

ADDITIONAL FEATURES A curvy, loosely designed facade with a clock, stained glass window and a neon sign all integrated into the composition, the latter of which is an abstract representation of a map of Portugal.

MARIO DE ABREU

COLISEU DO PORTO 1941

LOCATION R. de Passos Manuel 137, 4000-385 Porto,

TYPOLOGY Theatre

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Considered as Art Moderne (a later style of Art Deco to emerge in the 1930’s) the Coliseu do Porto is one of the city’s more revered Art Deco monuments. Design of the building began as early as 1911, however the theatre only officially opened in 1941. The project was largely undertaken by architects Cassiano Branco and Júlio Brito, although there were many complications in the design process which resulted in the involvement of several more architects over the course of construction who include Mário de Abreu, Charles Ciclis and Rogério Cavaco.

The main auditorium has a capacity for a standing audience of 3,500 people and 2,955 seated - including the 1st and 2nd stalls, the dress circle, the boxes, upper circle, reserved and general gallery. The smaller Ático Room has a capacity of 300 people, suitable for smaller performances, conferences and symposia. The Passos Manuel, Garage, another distinct example of Art Deco within Porto, sits directly opposite the Coliseu do Porto, they are recorded as having been built around the same time.

MATERIALS Masonry, Stucco

ADDITIONAL FEATURES The theatre was almost purchased once by a Brazilian Church, but the city and local residents intervened and today, the Coliseu do Porto is managed by a group of residents as a public cultural venue.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION A bright red canopy for a school courtyard, between two new buildings offering library, auditorium, study rooms and a cafe. The architects use colour in other projects and here the canopy is a bold addition to the school. A stepped plan integrates the three new buildings into the the existing school buildings, the central covered space intended to be the centre of life in the school. MATERIALS Concrete, paint, glass

ADDITIONAL FEATURES The rhythm of rooflights and covered roof between the concrete fins creates an interesting effect with the light and the structure running within the depth of the horzontal ‘walls’ of the canopy is successful it its structural trick of apparently offering no structural support.

PORTO CEMETERY

LOCATION Rua de António Bessa Leite, Porto, Portugal TYPOLOGY Cemetery

PROJECT DESCRIPTION A central city cemetery, just minutes walk from the Casa da Musica, the graveyard is vast. Many times the size of the site of the opera house, or indeed the stadiums of the local football team or the university, the ordered block dwarfs the surrounding urban scale. A variety of scales from gravestones to mausoleums with alien lift and ladder mechanisms to access the vaults make the cemetery and unusual addition to the centre of the city. MATERIALS Stone, metal, cadavers ADDITIONAL FEATURES The language of the architecture is strangely residential, which seemingly highlights a cultural difference between the UK and Portugal. The central location and domesticity of the buildings present the unfamiliar idea of a graveyard as a place that one might visit and were one might feel at home.

Chilehaus was built by the shipping magnate Henry B Sloman who commissioned the architect Fritz Höger to design the 10-storey building for Hamburg’s then new merchant district, an area of offices built to serve the city’s Speicherstadt warehouse district, and the first dedicated office zone in Europe. The Chilehaus sits in the Kontorhaus district, which, in conjunction with the Speicherstadt Warehouse district is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Kontorhaus is a cohesive, densely built area featuring eight large office complexes.

Location

The building is a multipurpose venue situated inside a historic wholesale market for fruit, veg & flowers. The building was originally designed by architect Bernhard Hermkes and has a experimental pre-stressed concrete form with wave-form roof. When the market became underused, the City of Hamburg agreed to allow the construction of a temporary venue in 2012. The daily activity of the market has not stopped, with the venue and market functions making use of the building at different hours. The project involved close collaboration with Hamburg’s office for historic preservation and resulted in a demountable, free-standing steel structure holding 2,400 seated, 3,500 standing and seated which meant only minor alternations to the existing building.

In 2006 the conceptual planning for converting the building into an Energy Bunker began, and 2010 saw the first static tests carried out, with safety, restoration, and conversion work beginning in 2011. The aim of the architects was to implement the new uses in and around the building with minimal impact on the original structure. The bunker now incorporates a visitor centre, cafe and viewing deck.

A sculpted cube occupies the southern edge of the international building exposition in Wilhelmsburg, a district in Hamburg. Adjaye Associates won the competition hosted by the IBA with a proposal for a house whose structural system consists of prefabricated solid-timber floor decks and walls, and a composite structure of wood and concrete spans the supporting walls. The floor plan is organised around the circulation core, which extends the entire width of the building; two units of equal size bracket the core. Four stories were fully assembled in four weeks

Location

The development in Schellerdamm, is home to 193 students. The building is divided into five sections, varying between five and eight storeys. Glass-walled staircases provide a visual dividing line between the sections, while allowing uninterrupted views across the building. Four courtyards lie beyond the staircases, on the roof of the ground floor. The student apartments are grouped around these courtyards and give the complex its distinctive comb-like structure. The buildings are clad with square formed ceramic tiles which give the facades a decorative but robust appearance.

Typology

Location

The building complex accommodates a philharmonic hall, a chamber music hall, restaurants, bars, a panorama terrace with views of Hamburg and the harbour, apartments, a hotel and parking facilities. These varied uses are combined in one building as they are in a city. The two contradictory and superimposed architectures of the Kaispeicher and the Philharmonic ensure exciting, varied spatial sequences: the original and archaic feel of the Kaispeicher marked by its relationship to the harbour; and the sumptuous, elegant world of the Philharmonic. In between, there is an expansive topography of public and private spaces, all differing in character and scale: the large terrace of the Kaispeicher, extending like a new public plaza, responds to the inwardly oriented world of the Philharmonic built above it.

The site includes the listed historical Brewer’s Yard, which is a traffic-free courtyard and provides access to the immediate buildings. The new entrance to the art institutions can be found in the open Art Courtyard which also includes parking spaces for visitors and a delivery entrance. Together with the entrance area to the art section and the additional storey at this end of the complex, the New West Building projects at right angles and adjoins the former workshops on the courtyard side. It includes art rooms, guest accommodation and offices. The New West Building and the additional storey to the art building have been designed as a homogenous, white concrete structures. The close interweaving of the new and old sections of this building have led to a material finish that sets these sections apart from the existing structure.

The New East Office Building is built directly on Limmatstrasse where it supplements the existing buildings. The entrance lobby to the offices is situated on the ground floor. The varied widths of the rooms on the upper office floors enable them to be adapted to suit a range of different office layout types. The Office Building refers to the existing buildings in structure, material and colour, but its surface texture anchors the building in the present.

The Central High-Rise Residential Building, with its large overhanging projection to the south, comprises of one to four apartments on each floor. The volume contracts at one level to continue in the form of an angular base structure down into the Brewer’s Yard. The high-rise includes 35 apartments with views over the city, the lake and the Limmat valley, and 21 apartments in the base structure which face south into the quiet courtyard. The facades of the Residential Building and the New East Office Building are clad with black and red glazed moulded ceramic elements, which pick up on the coloured brickwork of the existing buildings. The walls form different grid structures with the play of light on their ceramic surfaces, lending the structure a changing appearance when viewed from different angles.

A former brewery complex, the history of the Löwenbräu site is one of remodeling; adding to and replacing parts of the existing buildings. The new project builds on the successful conversion to an art exhibition and gallery complex while supplementing it with new residential, office and exhibition spaces. Apart from the retention of the original historical buildings, the urban development plan stipulates three new buildings: The New West Building, to expand potential use for the arts, the New East Office Building, and the Central High-Rise Residential Building. Therefore, a new urban ensemble evolves naturally, with the Central High-rise Residential Building defining the site’s silhouette together with the steel tower and the Swiss Mill silos.
