Hammam
Architecture welcomes the mind and the body. The mind can interpret architecture using other tools. The central question is how does it work? Do the senses influence the architect or are the senses amplified by architecture? There is probably no single answer, in Hammam we try to inform the mind about the senses of the body.
Egg-shaped and illuminated by zenith light, the warm room offers a comfortable and introspective atmosphere.

It proposes a sustained reconfiguration of the port territory through the construction of a platform that reconnects the city and the river.
More than a new project between Alcântara and Santos, Tagus Platform is a concept. Innovative, it proposes an urban morphology that can be applied to any port city that wants to resume the connection with the river and / or sea.

It is not a question of urbanizing the port lands, but of enhancing the opportunities in that area, improving urban conditions, and eliminating the deficiencies of the old city and its equipment. |
Tagus Platform proposes a sustained reconfiguration of this territory through the construction of a landfill, adding to the city and which, among many other features, allows access to the largest Portuguese museum (Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga), simultaneously creating a prime reception area to the Rocha de Conde de Óbidos Tourism Cruise Terminal.
The Tagus Platform project will be an emblematic public work that allows Lisbon to be projected on the international stage.
