photo: Nazar Leskiw Instituto CUF Rua Fonte das Sete Bicas 170 4460-188 Porto An exterior walkway was included, allowing at present or at a later stage, the inclusion of the necessary emergency exits The Building acquires a greater dimension with the separation between staff and public, the users acquire greater sense of space towards the exterior, whether they are static or in motion within the building The building's original dense concept is altered to an unity feeling, this is achieved by a shading game that is only visible at close proximity - designed by the plastic artist Angelo de Sousa - this shading game protects the extensive glass structure from excessive sunlight and also gives the building a unity feeling opposed to the concept's dense 2014 Main designer, Architect Architect Artist Carlos Prata Architect Nuno Barbosa Ângelo de Sousa Nazar photo: Nazar Leskiw http://wwwmimoaeu/users/idoiaotegui/guides/oporto/ 16
