Centrum Interpretationis Artis Romanicae est centrum expositionum in vico Lousada in Lusitania situm. Aedificium septem molibus e concreto nudo diversae altitudinis constat, quarum quaeque spatium expositionis separatum efficit. Atrium centrale vitro tectum moles coniungit et ad earum aditus ducit. Contrarietas inter atrium lucidum et cubicula expositionis obscuriora visitationem dirigit. Quodque lacunar genus tecti ex architectura Romanica denuo interpretatur. Frontes concretae ligni texturam referentes lapidem lignumque aedificiorum localium antiquiorum in memoriam revocant.

Fasciculus Nuntii

Merita, sodales gregis et singula technica a designatore praebita.

Proprietates Singulares: The building is composed by seven apparent concrete volumes with different heights.Each one represents a distinct exhibition space.To explore the relation between them,it was created a central body covered by glass that procedes them entries.This central space explores the contrast bright/dark between it and the exhibition spaces.Therefore, the building tries to be contemporary without forgetting the important Romanesque past, creating an atmospheric symbiosis between this different times.
Dimensiones et Involucrum: 1580m2 - 57000 mm x 30000 mm x 15000 mm
Notulae: Romanesque, concrete, architecture, Volumetric, interpretation, concrete volumes, Interpretation centre of the romanesque, Unity within diversity, Portuguese romanesque, Romanesque route,
Technologia Productionis: In a clear allusion to the past constructions, which was built using the local materials like stone and wood, here we use the stone of our days, the concrete. The wood-texture on the concrete facades mark the straight connection that this kind of architecture established with the surrounding nature.
Provocatio Designandi: One of the most challenging things of this design was the impact on the center of the village during its construction. The build is very auster, like all of the architecture of the romanesque period, and in the first instance this austerity was not being welcomed. Now with the building completed they full understand his meaning and the building is much loved for the whole population .
Investigatio: The project seeks for a close relation between the old romanesque architecture and the architecture of nowadays. During the concept fase were study all of the Romanesque typology present in the region extracting of this research the most easily recognised elements of this architecture for transposing them into a contemporary building.
The final design seek for a contemporary approach of this Romanesque elements that allow people to immediately recognise that this new build as something to do with the old romanesque buildings.
Once inside, the scale, the light and the proportion of the spaces was also based on the old romanesque buildings, remind us the ancient Romanesque construction.
Inspiratio: Based on the concepts of Romanesque architecture in Portugal, the building aims to be a transitional element between the present and the distant past. In an austere way, the volumetric proposed contains the principals of unity within diversity, appearing under the form of several volumes with different heights and dimensions, demonstrating the diversity that Romanesque buildings have left us. Therefore, each volume ceilings reinterprets one of the roof types used in Romanesque architecture.
Duratio Operis: The building is located in the village of Lousada that belongs to Oporto district. Is is located in an area that is an expansion of this village ant it is marked by a strong relationship with an urban square called Praça das Pocinhas and withe the Senhor dos Aflitos Church - a strong reference in the town center. The project concept started in 2011 and and the construction was finished in 2018. It is open to the public since september 2018.
Cursus Operationis: The entire exhibition was designed to promote the interaction of the public, making them feel an integral part of it. The visitor is required to interact with the exhibition in order to obtain more information and deepen his knowledge of the different terms on which the exhibition focuses.
