metanoia — competition proposal
Sede da Ordem dos arquitectos
690 m2 — may 2020
Tv. do Carvalho, Lisboa
Metanoia praises the architect’s ability to constantly learn in the manipulation of reality, placing him between contemporaneity, future and past. It is through this ability that the architect is able to project the future and not simply pass through the present.
The proposal presented, therefore, seeks to enhance the existing heritage by raising the question of the pertinence of the valued or recoverable heritage. The permission for demolition of 80% of the annex implies the preservation of the facade, assuming this as the only potentially interesting element to be preserved. However, this proposal assumes a building as a whole and not just as a facade. It is understood, therefore, that the option of maintaining the facade of the annex building does not solve, nor benefit, the urban framework.
The proposed building asserts itself as a moment of connection between different historical periods according to converging communicational shapes around a space-generating void that transports the surroundings into the interior of this new block.
The entrance patio works as a central reference for users; it is a meeting place, a place of distribution/circulation of access to the different surrounding spaces.

07 terrace / rooftop
08 sanitary
09 locker rooms
10 training room
11 technical area
The new Headquarters of the Ordem dos Arquitectos is presented as a set composed of the administrative services, located in the Edifício dos Banhos (preserved heritage) and the multipurpose building (new building) that encloses the areas of transition and functional flexibility, and serves both professionals and the general public. Although the two volumes are part of a communicating architectural composition, each part can be independent.
The project of Ordem dos Arquitectos must, as the professionals of this Order conceived it, reveal the questioning of time and the pertinence of architecture, while simultaneously opening up to the city.
This is the right time and place to think about the relationship with the general public, calling on to the interaction of the city with the place of those who think about this city.
