Sports Pavilion / Filipe Brandão and Nuno Sanches

An existing primary school campus required the edition of a sports pavilion and a swimming pool facility (that will be built at a later stage). Although independent of each other there was the need of involving the two buildings in a common occupation of territory, minimizing negative urban and landscape impact. Architects Filipe Brandao and Nuno Sanches collaborated to create a smart design with a green roof. More about this project following the break.

Lisbon Architecture Triennale / Let’s talk about houses: Between North and South
The Lisbon Architecture Triennale is getting ready to open its doors October 14. The exhibition Let’s talk about houses: Between North and South will be presented at the Museu Colecção Berardo. Occupying the entire floor of the Grand Hall (3000 m2), it will examine dwelling conditions and the new solutions found in the specific contexts of various regions around the world. With a broad span of commissioners, the exhibition is based around two emblematic experiments (the SAAL project and Alison and Peter Smithson’s House of the Future) in order to examine the meaning of the specificity of place, the modernist legacy, and new solutions to the question of dwelling.
