Tanscending landscape

Cultural Center, Sagres
2016

Project team
Philipp Valente

In collaboration with
Sebastian Piel

For a competition of a new building in Portugal of a cultural centre on the coastline, we designed a new landmark for this project. The designed site landmark refers to the given natural qualities of the promontory itself and to the build heritage of the coastline around Sagres – especially to the fortresses and light towers. Placing the intervention on the most defined slope of the territory is the first act of giving value to the existing landscape. This approach continues by creating a new perception on the vegetation and rocks through forming a threshold and enclosure for a garden. The landmarks as aa new building in Portugal verticality relates to light towers and their significance as a sign of orientation and manifestation of expression of human beings on earth.
