INHALE is a cultural platform where artists are presented, where great projects are given credit and readers find inspiration. Think about Inhale as if it were a map: we can help you discover which are the must-see events all over the world, what is happening now in the artistic and cultural world as well as guide you through the latest designers’ products. Inhale interconnects domains that you are interested in, so that you will know all the events, places, galleries, studios that are a must-see. We have a 360 degree overview on art and culture and a passion to share.
In conceiving the ‘Centro de informacao do romanico’, designers Space Workers wanted to reserve the identity of the site and the characteristics of the building concerned, so they decided to create an intervention rather than interrupt the existing architecture. The proposed space is a house-shaped cultural center inserted inside a nineteenth-century schoolhouse in Paredes, Portugal, positioned as if a solid volume has landed within, that perfectly reacts to the geometry of the structure’s interior shape. The two programs–a shop and service area and auditorium–are divided by a small square. A monolithic construction with a central door is the auditorium which can be opened or closed, while the opposing fabrication is exposed with no moving walls.
