15 Aug 2010 Habitable Sculpture Portugal Images: FG+SG-Fotografia de Arquitectura Miguel Arruda architect has completed a new emergent project in Lisbon: HABITABLE SCULPTURE* *a project selected for Lisbon Architecture Triennale 2010 images from architect Text from architect Miguel Arruda: With Habitable Sculpture architect Miguel Arruda transports a formal memory of one of his early sculptures from the 60s to the present day and gives it the scale and spatial experience of architecture. The Modulo exposed in Gallery Diario de Noticias, in 1968 is now subject to an extension 56 times its original size. This new volume gives a certain level of habitability, which allows him to interpret the concept of Habitable Sculpture. Both physical object and tactile values of its first volumes, are today exercised on the exterior and interior. It is precisely this physical experience that the author intends to share with the public. Under the construction point of view a metal structures extracted from the initial module, now computerized, responds structurally to the new volume setting. This structure, is waiting to receive different layers of material such as cork, with a view to opaque covering, or plant elements, with a certain level of transparency. In either cases, realizes the definition of an interior space, while producing sensory different situations. The Olives Garden, in Lisbon, is thus an area where visitors can live the part, experiencing a four-dimensional projecting ownership of art, art as place and place as the concept of Habitable Sculpture. images from architect Habitable Sculpture - Building Information Author: Miguel Arruda Team: Pedro Pereira Structure: Afaconsult Constrotion: Dustrimental Finishing: Grupo Amorin Mounting: Construções Casimiro Totem: Termoono Audiovisual: Restart Lighting: Donker by LGT Photos: FG+SG - Fotografia de Arquitectura Date: Jul - Oct 2010 Local: Olives Garden, CCB, Lisbon, Portugal images from architect Miguel Arruda, architect Miguel Arruda was born in 1943 in Lisbon.
