LB06 ANDRÉ CAMPOS|JOANA MENDES and PEDRO GUEDES DE OLIVEIRA fábrica em barcelos

Fábrica em Barcelos, presented at AMAG LONG BOOK 06, is a manufacturing textile facility in northern portugal - co–authored by André Campos, Joana Mendes and Pedro Guedes de Oliveira.

The authors achieved through a series of apparently simple choices – a repetitive module of window detail that allows for well-proportioned multiplication and the exception (the reception entrance) and a careful choice of interior spanning beams and their cared layout that are even able to accommodate effortlessly one very special ‘encased’ staircase.

In the end, a silent architecture of design and materials common to existing and neighbouring industrial buildings, adapted to the topography, and framed in the urban context.
