Trafaria village, new building plan
circular space creates a moment of transition through a slope which forces a detachment in both time and space from all surroundings. The new construction is purposefully deprived of a specific program so as to easily adapt to temporary events. Its circular plan aims at making clear the intention of valuing the sky as the only landscape, such that only two separate areas are drawn out on the inside which, when added to the entry slope, make up for a set of three circular spans. The first area is possibly a library which establishes a function for the construction throughout the year, and holds two support rooms: a storage unit and a dressing-room. The second area holds another entry point comprised of a staircase which establishes a strong visual connection with São Lourenço fort.
