Tripod is an art installation designed as a tribute to two architecture elements, each of them imbued in the identity of the city of Porto: the stair and the balcony.

Designed as a new a public space to establish a new kind of urban intimacy, Tripod is an unusual platform ready to be appropriated by the city, in search of new contextual relationships with its territory and its people. While promoting a simultaneously intimate and exposed space, that allows visitants to observe the city while being observed by the other citizens, Tripod is an urban enhancer to cause the unexpected.

Consisting on a small public balcony enclosed in an equilateral triangle, that rests on three narrow spiral staircases which give it access, Tripod is somehow familiar, while being completely unknown as a city equipment, inciting a variety of activities. While many these take place naturally by the spontaneous appropriation of passers-by, a Performing Arts group stimulated Tripod's routines, presenting intimate performances, music concerts and unusual dinners to citizens and tourists.

‘(I)cone’ is an impertinent and interactive orange installation, of a great visual impact, waiting to surprise citizens and inviting them to experience the public space in a new way. We chose to use plastic as the main material of a permanent art installation, because it is hard and very resistant thus offering a range of possibilities for this type of intervention. This art installation subverts the original meaning of the object – the traditional orange traffic cones, which usually require traffic to circumvent an obstacle – inviting visitors to cross and interact with it.
‘(I)cone’ uses the traffic cone as its modular structure, taking advantage of their formal and chromatic characteristics, building a portico that encourages citizens to have a closer proximity with art. By night, the orange plastic is lit with a red LED network, illuminating the installation in Paredes City Park.

The reinterpretation of lightning elements associated with Christmas, has found in the multiplication of lighting arches – which usually embrace the city streets - the opportunity to form an whole intervention composed with different moments, in different places, which intended to hold a continuous diffusion within the different levels of the classical garden, celebrating the Nativities without recurring to common places associated this special festivity.
Materialised by a network of contiguous arches in red corrugated tube, illuminated by a LED lighting system, Conste.llation delicately dances on the gardens, connecting spaces and crafting unexpected routes. The arch - a primordial element in architecture - has the inherent power to create space (under, inside, etc.), and, at the same time, to build a physical relation between two places (between, inside, etc.) being related also to the idea of connection and unification.

Salvador Dali Temporary Museum by LIKEarchitects is a small ephemeral museum placed in the central space of a shopping mall in Lisbon, designed to welcome the exhibition of one hundred drawings (woodblock engravings) inspired by Dante’s “La Divina Comedia” by the painter Salvador Dali.

The museological space, encouraged by the well-known poem’s close-fitted structure composition (guided by the symbolism of number 3), is distributed in nine inter-connected rooms, organised through three thematic wings – Hell, Purgatory and Paradise. Its’ organisation allows multiple display pathways, creating either linear or fragmented interpretations of the exhibition.

The voids – or the “gates” that free up the visitor’s passage between rooms – appear every time when the two walls intersect – the casual corners – leaving the wall central area for the exhibition of the artwork, and then allowing new possibilities of path for the exhibiting itinerary. The spatial chart, both being rational and mazy, allows the visitor to become an active part of the visit, encouraging different interpretations to the poem’s traditional plot and itself to the exhibition. At the same time, the multiple possible passages establish a permanent visual permeability with the shopping mall, that, infatuated by it’s absence of cover that reveals, from the upper galleries, the consideration of the entirely temporary museum’s organising scheme.

Considering as starting point on the Surrealism driven by the Spanish artist, the exhibiting structural walls emerge transfigured and assume an irregular stratification, luring the visitor to a surreal and fragile world. Composed by superimposed layers of white styrofoam with different masses, the walls design a stripped and unusual materiality, defined by the successive horizontal lines of variable thickness that assume changing shadows during the day. The thick and dense pavement, in a coconut fibber carpet, contributes for the creation of a moment of rest in the mall, helping to assume Salvador Dali Temporary Museum as a cultural space and a place for escaping from the daily frenzy.

X-hibition is an installation for the international event BIN@Porto. For this project we were asked to design space partitions for a 250 sqm room that was to host two different programs on consecutive days: on the first an exhibition of the work of twenty technological start-ups; on the second, a conference for 100 people.
The intervention should be highly flexible and able to transform the spatial qualities of the room in just a few hours. Thus, it was created a system based on the multiplication of a singular piece, a cross made of cardboard.
The layout of the installation takes advantage of the guests different perspectives, becoming, in effect, a form of interactive art.

Organised as a new public water circuit within the city of Guimarães, Fountain Hacks is a ready-made strategy of low cost playful interventions that will make the city a better place to live.
By leveraging the fact that our cities are full of every day spatial experiences that typically go unnoticed, we decided to call attention to these spaces with the simple addition of some everyday objects. In this way we were able to transform these areas from forgotten spaces, into usable public domain, ultimately asking citizens to redefine their relationship to the city and question social stigmas that might interfere with new/old ways of urban occupation.
As guerrilla actions, our project does not have the pretension to last, but it has the power to change preconceived notions of spaces during its short lifetime. Our performance architecture is also about memories; it is about living in the moment and appreciating its uniqueness.

wonderWALL is an exhibition space designed to receive the masterpiece The Pool by Jen Lewin in Colombo Shopping Mall, in Lisbon, Portugal, built with approximately 20,000 strips of white and black fabric.
The temporary museum is totally suspended from the skylight on the central square and presents an abstract skin which oscillates with airflows created by the movement of people. The cylindrical space seeks to emphasise the centrality of the exposed artwork, enhanced by the abdication of a main entrance in favour of a fully permeable facade that dissolves the entrance along the entire periphery of the space.
For brightness control, the work of Jen Lewin is not visible from the outside. Instead, the coverage presents itself as a large circular weaving screen that highlights the manual process that characterises the construction of this dome space, bringing out a unique textile texture.

Frozen Trees is a temporary Christmas light display that creates an illuminated, frozen and fractal landscape that affects and alters the paths of pedestrians.Thirty cylindrical structures activate the square and serve as self-sufficient streetlights, which are placed throughout the square, creating a new contextual landscape and inviting visitors to discover new spatial experiences.
Using IKEA’s Rationell Variera plastic bags dispensers as the base module, this design takes advantage of the module’s unique shape. Additionally, Frozen Trees brings a domestic-sized object into the urban scale –thus dissociating it from its original function and leading to the loss of its identity as a single element, making a call for creativity and multi-functionality in the current socio-economic climate.

Shell.ter pavilion, a temporary installation for the Cerveira Creative Camp, was built from monoblock chairs in the gardens of a natural park in the north of Portugal during a short summer workshop led by LIKEarchitects. While this pavilion resembles the most advanced form of parametric design, the form is actually created by the relationship of the arches formed by ordinary chairs, which, rather than serving as seats, act as a shading device and backrest and create new frameworks that enhance the surrounding nature.
Under strong sun, the shadows projected on the structure emphasise the tracery of the pavilion, creating an effect of great complexity.The association of mirrored chairs and their rotation in the horizontal plane, obscures the reading of the chair as an isolated element and contributes to the creation of an enigmatic white plastic skeleton that arouses curiosity in all visitors.
Assuming the form of a pergola tunnel, Shell.ter invites park guests to relax in the shade along the river, creating a new meeting place that has even held small concerts. Being fully reversible, Shell.ter has virtually zero environmental impact, and can also be (re)assembled every summer.

Kinematix is spatial proposal developed for the headquarters of IT company Kinematix, a company specialised in developing technology for healthcare and fitness products,

The spatial proposal is based on a continuous flexible system of sliding garage doors that create multiple spatial partitions, able to reorganise the space in many possible layouts. 

Taking advantage of the double-sided folded metal sheet surface, it was created a kinetic chromatic experience that changes when the viewer moves on space. Different orange-to-red tape stripes were added on the side-oriented sections of the metallic surface generating different space perspectives and colourful reflections.

LEDscape is an installation which deals with light as a constructive element of space and landscape. It is located in the CCB – Belém Cultural Centre in Lisbon and aims to introduce the everyday user to the Ledare light bulb, thus demystifying the preconceived ideas about LED technology and emphasising the relevance of this product in the sustainability of the future. LEDscape challenges the passerby to an interactive experience – a pathway gradually lit with 1200 light spots, invites introspection and individual appropriation of the installation.

BubblesScape is a provocative ephemeral spatial installation intended for the urban context of Portuguese city Ovar, launching new inter-connected visual relations and encouraging different ways of living the city under “Festa” – a free cultural event in the city with diverse activities during one entire day.

Fast and simple to implement, BubblesScape is an urban hurdle that aims to entertain those who are walking and exploring the city while giving a space for resting or playing. It temporarily modifies the daily routines of a central Ovar street, obstructing its passage - at least for vehicles – and calling for the unexpected interaction of pedestrians. BubblesScape incites people to spontaneous seat and enjoy sunbath or to crawl towards the end of the street through a sea of inflatable balls, in an active and joyful way.

Constructed from turquoise fitness balls tied together with the traditional turquoise rope - largely used in Ovar’s region fishing industry -, BubblesScape adopts colour has an enhancer for the creation of new urbanities, adding a new temporary playground for all ages in the public space, while, at the same time, initiating a discourse about the ephemeral uses on the city and its urban relations possibilities.

Stack n' Build is a temporary pavilion created for the event Serralves em Festa at the Serralves Museum’s gardens. Designed by combining SuperBock beer crates, this installation takes advantage of the crate’s formal qualities through the creation of a laced curved wall. The assembly is based on the addition of a singular metal detail, which was specifically designed andproduced to connect the beer crates together. Using a very simple LEGO-type mounting system, the crates were assembled into a curved wall. The addition of the metal detail, adds a high-tech approach to a low-cost aesthetic. The design of this detail allows for the assembly and disassembly of the pavilion without damaging the crates. Furthermore, the development of this non-intrusive building system and the high strength of the elements used suggest the possibility of re-using this project in other places with new or multiple configurations.

playLAND is a set of three bouncy and colorful spatial interventions geared for children in the public space of Paredes de Coura, that make a human scale lego out of beach buoys.

Removed from the usual seaside context and used in three colors - green, orange and pink - the beach buoy serve as the modular construction element, allowing the creation of a light and colorful world built with objects belonging to another place.

Structured by vertical and horizontal association of beach buoys, the installations seek to create fun rest areas, sometimes protected from the sun, where people can, for example, attend to concert harp or to a reading of a story.

Being a child object, designed for children to play quietly in the sea or in the pool, the beach float is naturally a colorful and very appealing object. Moreover, by the virtue of being inflatable, it quickly becomes very bulky, but always lightweight and easy to handle, facilitating large scale constructions.

The Temporary Andy Warhol Museum is a cultural space within a commercial space in Lisbon and it was designed to host the exhibition ‘Andy Warhol – Icons | Psaier Artworks and the Factory’. The museum recreates an environment that is both pop and industrial, through an unusual materiality resulting from the use of metal paint cans. The interior was designed as an enclosed introspective space, entirely defined by continuous walls, benefiting from a transparent cover in plastic screen, allowing light to enter from the exterior and assuring the visual relationship between the two confronting spaces – museum and shopping mall. Like the Andy Warhol’s artwork the museum reflects the consumer society, but in a literal way, through the raw aluminium sheet of cylindrical cans. Other strands, which were patent in the work of Andy Warhol, were also fundamental in the creation of the architectural space – the repetition (silkscreened) or the idea of sublimating everyday objects, regardless of their original form or function, and transform them into tangible icons of the collective imaginary.

This bar was a result of a competition to represent the School of Architecture of the University of Porto. The area, fast construction, and low budget were considered in the design of this temporary structure that had to be built in just one week.
Based on IKEA’s “build it yourself” concept, this project is made out of storage containers of varying depth, which resulted in a modular building system with a highly textured skin. By placing an LED system on the interior of the boxes, the skin adopted a variety of expressions. By day, the structure appeared as an abstracted white volume and by night the LED system lit up the bar giving it an ephemeral feeling. By syncing the DJ’s soundtrack with the lighting system a dynamic pulsating light box was instigated.

Despite its architectonic, historic value and its central location in the city of Lisbon, the square of São Paulo had become a forgotten space, serving only as a passageway to the underground clubs and bars – paradoxically marginalised in the center of the city. During the month-long celebrations  of the city’s patron saint, Santo António, the cultural association Parafernália joined forces with Ordem dos Arquitectos in order to revitalize this site, activating it not only as a passage, but also as a destination.
The idea was that the intervention would focus mainly on an attractive stage. Despite the scarce resources and the huge volumetric scale desired for the stage, this lightweight structure (made out of prefabricated modular parts) was designed to be an iconic urban catalyst. While the proportions and scale of the project respected the spatial hierarchy of the square, the use of color served as an urban activator, contrasted against the subdued colours of the old town.

Bus Stop Symbiosis is a new urban event: this friendly and colourful temporary installation appears next to a bus stop creating a symbiotic relationship, beneficial to both structures. This parasitic urban furniture not only increases sitting space, but also serves to entertain those waiting for the bus or just passing by.
Using the dichotomy between old and new, the proposal is a plug-in design element for the historic center, claiming it clearly as part of the contemporary city in constant reformulation. More than a mere extension, the inclusion of a new element celebrates the preexisting structure, enhancing the overall appearance. In a light and playful tone, Bus Stop Symbiosis emphasises the revitalisation and reinvention of the historic city center. It is a fresh new approach to street furniture where design has an interventional or even provocative character.

Wireframe Tower is a new urban element constructed from ordinary clothes drying racks. The installation signals the Cerveira Creative Camp presence in this village, formalised in a decagonal prism, occupying the main square of the historic center with elements of contemporary domestic reality,which, when recognised, surprise tourists and citizens. Using the drying rack as the modular metric for the assembly, we discovered vertical associations and relationships that were structurally beneficial.
Taking advantage of the extensible flaps, the structure assumes a mutable skin, introducing diversity in its formalisation.
During the day,‘Wireframe Tower’ merges with the urban context and produces a dense, geometric and linear shadow on the pavement. By night, when illuminated, the structure takes shape and reveals two colours of tracery: highlights of white on the outside and red on the inside.

Sitting on top of a hill, at the entrance of the concert area of the “Primavera Sound”  festival, Welcome Hub acted simultaneously as an attraction and meeting point and desk for program and blankets distribution by volunteers.
The structure is designed geometrically with an hexagonal base. While structuring, the horizontal linkages (ou elements) create multiple angles to new perspectives of a landscape made of sea, park and music. The installation uses large corrugated tube, subverting its infrastructural use and turning it into the structure itself. Unearthing the tubes, both their texture and colour become interactive: the first encourages touching (or even percuting) the work; the latter the latter contrasts with the green of the park and promotes, through a artistic object, the brand that sponsors the festival.
For three days, the installation has become an icon where hundreds of festival goers sat. At night, the incorporated led lighting turns Welcome Hub into a pulsating object.
