6/8/2026 - 6/30/2026
Campus de Azurém | Hall Central
On June
8th, at 9:30 AM, the inauguration of the exhibition "HALL CENTRAL DE
AZURÉM (Nave) 1986-2026" will take place. The exhibition showcases the
work developed in the Atelier and Seminars 2B of the 4th year of the Integrated
Master's in Architecture.
During the
second semester of the current academic year, the course units
"Conservation and Technology Studio" and "Pathology and
Rehabilitation Seminar" from the 4th year selected the pedagogical complex
of the School of Engineering at the Azurém Campus—specifically including the
Hall Central (Nave), comprising Buildings 1 and 2—as the subject for
architectural rehabilitation and adaptation design exercises. Designed by
architect Bartolomeu Costa Cabral, these buildings represent a highly relevant
case study. This is due not only to their original architectural quality and
the role they have played in the life of the institution, but also to the
current need for several interventions. These could be configured as a whole
and understood as an integrated building conservation plan. A selection of the
developed work is now on display in the very space that was studied. This
exploratory analysis aimed to identify issues and, from a pedagogical
standpoint, test the design of general or detailed solutions as part of a set
of interconnected hypotheses.
The
exhibition will be open to the public until June 30th at the Hall Central de
Azurém (Nave).
