Description
With a building strategically placed at one of the entrances of Matosinhos, a centre for engineering and product development marks a change focused on new technologies, sustainability and new ways of being mobile. Conceived as an international centre for investigation and development for aeronautics, mobility, ocean and space, and the automobile, its architecture explores a rhetoric of the future and is organized in two buildings. In the main one, an elliptic façade decomposed by rotation, houses the common and investigation spaces designed in ellipses of different scales: auditorium, reception area, common zones, meeting rooms; that interconnect with leisure and work areas. The other volume, rectangular and of great dimensions, houses the hangar for aeronautics and metal mechanics testing, prepared for different scales, from the electric car to the wing of an airplane.
