2 photo: Roel Backaert photo: Roel Backaert Bar a Margem Bom Sucesso 1400 Lisbon Ricardo Vaz and Joao Pedro Falcao de Campos built a pavilion on the esplanade along the River Tejo with little more than white-painted, screwed-together steel sections and glass The steel sections (identical I-sections) are both supporting structure and 'façade cladding', since the building is not insulated Where the façades become roof the pattern changes and glass becomes steel and vice versa The result is an alternating rhythm of plane and relief, a play between closed and open That play is reinforced by the fact that the glass of the long elevations can be completely slid open between the top and bottom sections which extend beyond the volume, whereupon the pavilion becomes an outdoor bar Any functions that might detract from the openness and the pattern of profiles like the kitchen and toilets, have been tucked out of sight below the ground photo: Roel Backaert Main designer, Architect Architect Structural engineer Client Falcão de Campos Arquitecto José Ricardo Vaz Miguel Villar - Betar À Margem Kirsten_Hannema Sunday to Wednesday - From 10:00AM to 9:00PM Saturday - From 10:00AM to 00:00 Thurday to The bar is situated in the popular neighbourhood of Belém on the docks of Bom Sucesso, in a zone where a lot of bars and kiosks are situated this page is part of Mi guide 'abril' made by gonzalo alvarez tostado, mexico, Mexico 2

3 photo: Ana N photo: João Morgado Pavilion of Alameda dos Oceanos 1990 Lisbon The architect's masterpiece, both for the tension he manages to create between a necessary, desired and difficult monumentality, and the delicate articulation - with the program and the location - both for daring of the solution and its intensive effect of a representative image symbol The palatial theme, which he used first in the school in Setúbal, is here taken to expressive heights, combining the 'colossal' arcade with it's reflection and sublimation in the waters of the quay The roof of the large ceremonial area is the finishing touch to the effect, which reminds us of Niemeyer and the most innovative of modern architecture and engineering in concrete and steel It is an enormous 'shell', appearing to throw off its supports (only visible as the skeleton, like armour), and the down-facing curvature (an 'anti-dome'), like a reinforced tent, ephemeral and paradoxically vulnerable, with apparent fragility, but an enormous plastic force photo: Andy M Project is not public!
