Appreciation towards Carvalho Araújo for providing the following description:

葡萄牙Carvalho Araújo建筑事务所和我们分享了他们最新的项目：葡萄牙布拉加军警局改建。改建后的军警局焕然一新。原有的广场围墙被拆除，换成透明的金属网隔断，闪闪发亮的地面铺装延伸至街道，形成一个大意义上的开放公共空间。它不再是冷漠城市中的冷漠一员，它是一个有能量的，活力的，亮闪闪的新舞台。

The intervention in the former building of the GNR (military police) brings together all the concept of dynamism of Braga European Youth Capital 2012. The project uses the concept of occupation as motif. The occupation by man and nature. It explores the boundary between an abandoned existing structure and a new invasor construction who takes over the space. A space in constant regeneration, rather than a final object.

The building should be central to the creative industries. It should be a building against the rule, the limit, the discipline. Symbolically it contrasts with his previous use of GNR to a space that lies in its antipodes, the “GeNeRation Lab”. To accomplish that it should stop being a indifferent piece of the city puzzle. It must have the ability to stir, create controversy and scream loudly. In a time of change and celebrating the spirit of youth, the building of the GNR cannot remain invisible, as a silent observer on the adjacent square, alongside their peers. It has to jump into the arena, go on stage and wear sequins.

建筑的改建干预手段分成两种，一种是直接作用在现有建筑的立面，沿街造型，地面和窗户。在拐角处的入口做出一个内凹的灰空间，吸引人们注意。另外一种干预是间接的，入侵至空间内部和庭院，展现出基于历史却全新的态度。庭院立体支架，上面种上植物。透明的玻璃廊道拐过起伏不平的广场。原有的广场围墙被拆除，换成透明的金属网隔断，闪闪发亮的地面铺装延伸至街道，形成一个大意义上的公共空间：有气场，透明开放。这个改建让项目得到彻底新生。

Outside there are two types of intervention. A direct action on the existing building, with clippings of the facades, including windows in the ground floor that will be ripped up to the pavement, thus considering all the facades of the building as noble facades.

In the corner of the facade a more abrupt cut suggests the break of the new development. An open wound that exposes the building and its interior captures the viewer’s attention to this point. Here begins the first intervention of a building that presents a new face. It is the metaphor of a building in disequilibrium, which explores the limits of fear of adventure, the unknown and therefore in constant motion and nonconformist.

The second level of intervention suggests an “invasion” of space and backyard patios with a mixture of plant and infrastructure, which “grab” the facades, reshaping the image of the interior lots, emphasizing the concept of semi-occupied space that was appropriated over time. The project works by stratified layers, supporting the project in this temporal relationship, which acts as father of the new generation. This bold new attitude is rooted in history.

It is created a metal frame that moves away from the facade to allow the passage of pipes behind the front supports and a composition of vessels that support the plant structure. Occasionally these vessels are replaced by translucent glass areas or plates, which show some features of interior spaces. It can be an entrance, an extension of a visual axis or a balcony that appears unexpectedly, on the patio, as a pulpit.

From this intervention that conforms to the courtyards, there is a large opening to the public space, facing the street Avenida Visconde Nespereira. This grand opening comes as a vacuum space that suggests the extension of public space to the interior and vice versa, in a game of rope. This empty space is a key part in the relationship that will be established with the city of Braga, so we suggest the demolition of the existing wall, creating an alternative solution with great physical and visual permeability.

This composition is also expressed as a new piece that is deployed, visible and distinct from its host.
