The integration between architecture, museology, and landscape was at the heart of the project’s design for the Albuquerque Foundation – a cultural institution dedicated to the exhibition and research of both Chinese export ceramics and contemporary ceramics. Located on the former Quinta de São João do Linhó, a late 18th-century property set in the cultural landscape of Sintra and characterized by its extensive gardens, the project was based on the premise of preserving the site’s prominence. Acting as a seam between the diverse levels of the terrain, the intervention enhances the vegetation and topography, with gentle and accessible paths that respect the contemplative character of the gardens.
