Lisbon Museum - White Pavilion (Lisbon)

The White Pavilion (1994), was designed and designed to receive Works of Contemporary Art – Painting and Sculpture – of important dimensions / scales, currently inserted in the open space (garden) of the Pimenta Palace (conoted as Lisbon Museum) old “Museum of the City” in Campo Grande in Lisbon.

According to the Museological Program (P.M.), it was necessary to make an abstract space, which integrated Architecture and Art in harmony and balance with a “humanized nature” due to the site where the Pavilion for Temporary Exhibitions would be implemented.

The choice of the use of white color on floors, walls and ceilings contributes it to the construction of a neutral environment, whose relevance is given by the Works of Art that are being exposed there, and the option of introducing in the architectural project relevant glass areas (colorless) into facades, provided a mutual interaction between the interior of the gallery and the exterior of the garden of the Museum of Lisbon, enabling the visitor a “fusion of environments”, combining Art/Architecture/Garden in a single image.

An “Opera inside the Opera”.
