New Lisbon Terminal Cruise International Compettion
New Lisbon Terminal Cruise International Competition
The new Lisbon Cruise Terminal International Competition was launched by APL – Administração do Porto de Lisboa, S. A (Lisbon harbour authorities) in 2010.
Regino Cruz Architects worked very hard to find the solution that could provide both aesthetics and sustainability, with Lisbon identity and respect for the proposed budget.
We made this proposal with the entire team committed to the best of our competence and our hearts. It undoubtedly deserves a fresh look and a second shot that, hopefully, will see it for what it stands: a wonderful, comfortable, astonishing solar structure with a powerful finger print.
A cruise terminal is not an everyday building, its a relevant presence in any town, Lisbon is not an exception. And architecture plays an important role in Lisbon. We wanted this new Cruise Terminal to be inspired by some local characteristics, to induce a presence that identifies the visitors with the Alfama Houses, the Tagus waters, and the flight of the seagulls that make Lisbon what it is, no matter where you stand - the street or the sky.
The oblique’s metric of the frontage and the covering, creates the bond with the visual fragmentation that the urban fabric of the old LisbonCastle traditional hill gives us.
Also the constant waving of the Tagus river had to be present, creating an image with multiple faces – like its multiple reflexes – that, in a way, tries to evoke the movement of the light and the shadows of the pales that surrounds the building.
The cover of the bus parking area and the cab parking area, deliberately created in a succession of asymmetrically inclined white dihedral in a structural metric cadence, announces the proximity of the river and the sea through the seabirds that one’s imagination can summon.
And then, a necessary contrast is created here.
In front of the square you can see, in harmony with the customhouse, the calm horizontality of the long volume that emphasises the entrance, made in lioz - a stone present all over Lisbon, you can fin it in the sixteenth century stonework, on the surrounding buildings stone facades, in the Ritz Hotel timeless modernism.
All this ensemble was conceived like a complete wrapper, from walls to covering!
Like Lisbon, the Terminal is meant to be seen “from the street or the sky”. And in fact, all this complex will have to be seen both from the avenue, or the river. Either from the eyes of the passing citizen or, up above, by the wondered eyes of a cruise passenger looking down from the ships deck. Or, still, from those who, starring from the castle, watch everything, see everything in this city that does not surrender to time passing by.
Alongside with poetics, comes technique. The structural organization of space is the result of a regular orthogonal web that aggregates the ensemble, reinforcing the necessary budget control.
With these characteristics, the Lisbon Cruise Terminal shows the aggrandizement of the building design through an architectonical set that is innovating and harmonious, deeply rooted in the spirit of “Lisbon by the river”.
Also the whole set reading is, in perspective, accentuated by the obloquies plans of the stereotomy elevations and the covering movement. Exterior theme skins of differentiated inclinations modules, express a dynamic image during the day that prolongs into night lights.
The Terminal entrance is a reference pointing at the square where the custom building is. It should cause a unique sensation for those who see it for the first time, tourist or local citizen. This entrance is a scenic space, deliberately ample and transparent, slightly lowered from the exterior square, with a high ceiling.
Considering the inevitable sustainability, architecture as a drawing turns the building itself in the first and major energetic system, integrating direct and indirect solar gaining, thermal storage, insulation control, night cooling and ventilation to create a healthy interior environment – the recipe of full energy efficiency.
At the same time, we respected the emergent methodologies of buildings environment evaluation that nowadays integrate preferable environment criteria in the materials selection, as well as the evaluation of incorporated energy, residue management, water conservation, recycling, durability and, finally, an easy, economic maintenance of this complex building.
The envelopment of the building was conceived as a double net membrane to give preference to the exterior sun protection, we consider the most efficient thermo wise. In fact, the geometry of the sun-breakers is a prominent element of the building aesthetically, creating a pattern of functional demands linked to the geometry of insulation. This is why the main entrance, allowing access to the big atrium, benefits from the necessary shadowing even if its facing southeast. It has a majestic balance of the frame of the first level and significant recoil of the glass facade.
To make the concept real in all the different and complex disciplines, we were extremely careful with the rationalization of the constructive systems, creating a dialogue between efficiency, technique and the aesthetics of the terminal building – it’s this kind of attention that provides the costs control indispensable to a successful outcome.
