LAND
LAND
- Site-specific cases
In a time where Lisbon is going threw a late expanding process, we are disorganised, overwhelmed and careless built.
The approach was more conscious, not to propose a future technology or design but to suggest for one to reset and rethink.
"Land" is a only boat access, temporary, 50 sqm "island" built with floating blocks of cork.
A moment to experience pure isolation, stripped of construction and technology. The location will be situated in Tejo, Lisbon's river, a metaphor for being literally outside looking in, analysing and appreciating our city as a built heritage, and underline once more the importance of the respectful relation with nature, in its planning and industrial use of natural resources.
The material used for the project is one of the most iconic architectural used elements in Portugual.
