Covilhã Welcome Centre
Welcome to Covilhã.
Inspired by the morphology of the territory, the Welcome Centre in Covilhã is a calling card for those who arrive in the city looking to see the region as a tourist destination. In a successive set of asymmetrical lines and planes, the building spreads out on a single floor, partially buried, in accordance with the slope of the ground. Its interactive organization extends to a covered outdoor area that can host exhibitions or other tourism promotion activities.
