Bairro da Boavista Sharing Community

Community House | Preliminary study
Neighbourhood of Boavista - Lisbon
2012 → 2013

Boavista district community occupies a building constructed with several hands, the first of the neighborhood and the last that remains of the self-construction process, that gave rise to it. Facing the real odd of its demolition, the Boavista community building calls for the collective memory of the place it had built, a single piece of a changing context that, making their unique its presence.
ARTÉRIA acts on this informal architecture, founder of that place, with a technical and artistic look, in order to consolidate its structure and help to read its imprint, helping to strengthen the image and identity of the neighborhood.
