About Interpretation Centre of Romanesque د نندارتون مرکز

د رومانسک تشریحي مرکز یو نندارتون مرکز دی چې د پرتګال د لوسادا په کلي کې موقعیت لري. دا ودانۍ د بېلابېلو لوړوالو له اوو ښکاره کانکریټي حجمونو څخه جوړه ده، او هر حجم یو جلا نندارتون ځای جوړوي. یو مرکزي هال چې په ښیښه پوښل شوی، دا حجمونه سره نښلوي او د هغوی ورودي دروازو ته لار پرانیزي. د روښانه هال او تیارو نندارتون خونو ترمنځ توپیر د لیدنې لارښوونه کوي. هره چت د رومانسک معمارۍ د یو ډول چت بیا تفسیر کوي. د لرګیو بڼه لرونکي کانکریټي مخونه د زړو سیمه ییزو ودانیو تیږې او لرګي را په یادوي.

Production Technology
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.
Design Challenge
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 .
Research
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.
Inspiration
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.
Project Duration
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.
Operation Flow
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.
