PINC - Pole for the Creative Industries of Park of Science and Technology, University of Porto - quickly
became a space of great dynamism of Porto. A recognized centre for the creation and production of
events and contacts.

It became necessary to create a meeting point, aggregating all who work there, its customers, partners
and friends. A space that should be open and flexible, able to serve as pantry for the everyday meals,
but also for the moments of relaxation or discussion, meeting and training, this new building should
serve all sorts of events and training.

This leads to the new PINC Pavilion, built in a forgotten centennial garden, a romantic memory of the old
Quinta do Mirante.

The pavilion is drawn with an open and permeable structure, framed by existing trees. A structure
without any coating, inspired by the images of the timeless ruins, such like these, it should merge with
the garden over the time. Inside of the pavilion, by contrast, warm colours of wood based panels and
the red doors fit a welcoming environment. At night, this environment expands to the garden by the
hand of warm light, which overflows to the outside through glass surfaces.
