19 photo: FG+SG photo: FG+SG Oporto Blood Bank Rua do Bolama Porto The O Porto Blood Bank is built on a detached plot with an irregular polygon in the heart of a city block The building-as-line runs through the polygon s different directions searching its geometry The Blood bank supports all activities of regional blood collection and analysis as well as its partition in 3 components (erythrocytes, plasma and platelets) These components are later to be distributed to hospitals and pharmaceutical industries This typology is new and hardly tested It has a great complexity due to permanent risk of blood contamination Continuous scientific and technological developments force permanent alterations It is therefore a building with an unstable interior, which will undergo frequent metamorphosis throughout its life The building program is a linear sequential process (of blood disassembly) It suggests to be more adequate a low and fluid construction rather than a high building, as pointed out by the neighbouring housing buildings (5 and 6 levels) photo: FG+SG Floor area/size m² Architect ARX Arquitectos Instituto Português do Sangue ARX_ During the week: 830 to 1900h Saturday: 830 to 1300h 19
