Castelo Novo visitor centre
2010
Overview
Report on a visitor centre designed by Comoco Architects for the small village of Castelo Novo in Fundao, Portugal. Comoco is a trio of young architects - Luis Miguel Correia, Nelson Mota and Susana Constantino - whose approach reflects a poetic yet unsentimental spirit typical of the best new Portuguese work. Their intelligent distillation of materials and form, coupled with an eagerness to embrace the contemporary, is perfectly epitomised in this project where, rather than provide a single new building, they place a series of elements in the landscape to unify and enhance the site. All new parts are executed in Cor-ten plate, the heavy, rusted steel bringing a whiff of industrial grit to the more delicate business of archaeological tourism and forming an evocative contrast with eroded stone walls, now crumbling with age.
