Finalist for the “Espaço” 23 national architecture prize, the Foz Côa municipal market consists of a central two-storey volume faced by two other pavilions built in line with two existing volumes.
Designed by ADVD Atelier Arquitectura, the 1,950m2 PIGMENTO® blue zinc roof is reminiscent, in the architect’s words, of “a tent or the stretched canvas of a fairground attraction”.
From the existing building towards this central volume, the projecting gables of the two new pavilions give a progressive reading of the volume, accompanying the visitor’s progress into the block.
