with Lisbon now bouncing back from the recession of 08, its approximately 12,000 decaying buildings offer many opportunities to make the buildings in the city more in line with its new economic structure. In this article, originally published by Curbed as "What could be next for Lisbon Noted modernist Relic" Subvert Studio Lisbon presents a speculative proposal for one of the most remarkable of the city - and visible -. modernist ruins
Views from the balcony of what was once the panoramic restaurant Monsanto show a band of green treetops, white cityscape section covers the old and new areas of Lisbon, and a slice of shimmering river Tagus beyond, mouth to the Atlantic Bracketing the view is blue. blue sky above, and below, a blue smash broken glass , reflecting and refracting the color of the sky. Wherever there is a vista in the panoramic restaurant of Monsanto, where there are windows and the view is the focal point of broken glass space there.
Last used as a club atop a city park of 2,400 acres, the modernist structure slipped deeper into debauchery drop since mid 190. Windows collapsed, graffiti long since joined the Portuguese muralist ceramic reliefs Querubim Lapa on walls and stained glass sculpture at the entrance, ceiling pieces fell to the ground. And in recent months, a discussion has emerged: what to do with this modernist relic belonging to the city, which some estimates, it will take 20 million euros to secure
Monsanto slides Lisbon park in the western top of the hill town, about half as large as the urban area itself. Until the 1930s, the park held farmland and quarries, which had exhausted the hillsides, destroying its ecosystem. The park was reforested, traced with hiking trails and bike paths and trams, as a race track, even; it hosted the 1959 Portuguese Grand Prix Formula One race. Quarries and mills were invaded and added equipment. Architect Chaves da Costa added a modern restaurant peaked in 1968.
The 7000 square foot restaurant is located atop a hill station, seven hundred odd feet -Dessus riverside of the city, with an open living area and stunning views of the city below its centerpiece. Its uses have evolved in the years since its construction, it was the most luxurious restaurant in Lisbon, a bingo room, a club and a warehouse. "This is one of the best views of Lisbon," said Tiago Rebelo de Andrade Subvert. "You can see the old part and the new part of town, if you have a connection to the entire city."
After a battered economy during the global recession, Lisbon rebounds and growing. On the urban plan, much work is needed, and in the past seven years, there was not much money to finance it. crumbling ceilings, boarded up windows and graffiti are not exuberant sights in Lisbon. A count in 08 cited 4,000 abandoned buildings in the city of 55,000; more recently, last year the city council considers that 12,000 buildings in Lisbon serve in various stages of decomposition.
Yet art, architecture and the investment community wanting to participate has, in recent years, have rallied. A council design-savvy revised the rent control laws that allowed the stagnation and grant programs created to keep the creative talents of the city, causing a scene young and dynamic creative economy; inexpensive retail spaces and incentives offering visas E.Ü. visas to property investors invited investment abroad.
This is why, according to Subvert, Lisbon is in need of a city museum, a space in which the review of the urban and built environment of the city may occur on a regular basis. "There is no discussion on how the city will develop," says Rebelo de Andrade. As the restaurant abandoned Monsanto developed for architectural discussion Lisbon and beyond, it was the subject of a recent design competition of the college and its photogenic decadence arose in Travel Photo Trial- it seems a logical location.
