Odemira Cerebral Palsy Association / Câmara Municipal de Odemira – Divisão Obras Municipais
“Chaos is an Order to be deciphered” – Saramago, 2008. The project for the Cerebral Palsy Association of Odemira (APCO) consists of an occupational activities center located in Quinta da Estrela, Odemira, Portugal. The building is organized in a L-shaped layout that faces a cliff hillside, leading to an outdoor patio easily controllable in terms of access, thus ensuring the safety of its users, as well as their privacy. What was once a “eyesore” inside the Town, a jagged hillside, has now been transformed into a sculpturally aesthetic and central element of the courtyard. The geometrization of the outer space transformed chaos into harmony. Poetics arises from the contrast between order and controlled chaos.
