ARKxSITE is pleased to announce the international architecture ideas competition ‘SITE CLOISTER’ for architecture students and young professionals (≤ 40 years old).
This single-stage international architecture ideas competition invites all architecture students, young architects, and young professionals with a degree in architectural studies (≤ 40 years old) to develop and submit design proposals for the ‘Site Cloister,’ located near the ‘Aldeia da Mata’ dolmen in Crato, Portugal.
The ‘Site Cloister’ aims to create a museological path to enhance the historical significance and contemplative nature of the ‘Aldeia da Mata’ dolmen. It is an intimate, secluded place situated between the natural landscape and the ‘courtyard,’ where the megalithic monument becomes a powerful backdrop. A sequence of spaces above and/or below ground welcomes visitors, provides shade, and encourages movement between open and/or enclosed spaces and outdoor environments.
