public library and regional archives of angra do heroísmo, ilha terceira, azores, portugal (2006) A garden-cover for public use unifies and houses the spaces of a low and discrete building set. With a free geometry, interspersed by patios that light the reading rooms and the exhibition areas, it sets a new topographic reference: a flat ground, the “chã”, that exalts the built mass of the existing Palace and the sinuous contour of Mount Brazil. The graphics of its pattern evokes the topography, the colours and the geometry of the fragmented land division of the fields of Terceira.
