Casa da Memória
Avenida Conde de Margaride, Guimaraes, Portugal
The Casa da
Memória building is located on a central area of the city of Guimarães, in an
old industrial building, the Pátria factory. This city has an ancient culture,
strongly connected to the material and immaterial historic memory. To aid in
the preservation of such a rich heritage, a reference center for culture,
history and local identity was created, the Casa da Memória. This building
operates both as means of preservation of this city’s cultural heritage as well
as a place for creative production firmly connected to the city’s center. This
building adds a very different cultural space to the city of Guimarães.
The architectural
solution unites the Pátria factory’s group of industrial buildings: a newly
created pedestrian path that blends into the existing urban fabric crosses the
vacant industrial spaces. By creating a new pedestrian path through the
building’s outdoor space, a new fluid crossing of the urban fabric is generated,
shortening routes through the city. A new square is created, a public space
that evokes one’s sensorial memory, by using water, vegetation and the
remaining structure of the roofing of a demolished part of the building. This
outdoor space can be used as a public extension for events happening inside the
building.
Inside, the
old industrial building now houses spaces devoted to creative production, and
exhibition of the important heritage of the city of Guimarães.
By keeping
its original form, the set evokes the memory of the old industrial spaces of
the city.
