葡萄牙的建筑界仍在经历南欧持续的衰退。大型项目被搁置，甚至几近停顿，给一个把建筑视为其民族特征不可或缺的国家蒙上了一层阴郁的气氛。

位于波尔图以南约150公里的米兰达·多·科尔沃的新艺术之家(或称卡萨达斯·阿尔特斯)从两方面来衡量这一趋势。首先，它已经完成-一个闪闪发光的新艺术综合体，沿着毕尔巴鄂模式建造，成为当地社区的焦点，不仅举办画廊展览，还举办活动。第二，它是红色的。在传统的白话建筑中，以及与西扎及其追随者有关的批判地区主义中，这个国家都与白色具体化有着长期的联系。

艺术之家大胆。该项目由里斯本公司FutureArchitecture Thinking的米格尔·科雷亚(Miguel Correia)设计-与总部位于伦敦的胖建筑(Fat Architecture)无关-该项目被视为一个高耸的围栏，高而有角的屋顶指的是附近的卢斯山脉(Lous Hill)的山峰，以及将建筑群与郊区环境结合起来的慷慨的新

里面有一个有300个座位的高科技礼堂和一个自助餐厅，还有一个小型博物馆的计划。从主门厅空间，游客可以进入新建筑群的所有区域，而室外圆形剧场为社区提供了更多未来使用的选择。

倾斜的墙壁、光线和阴影、窗户、插槽和景观之间的相互作用，使卡萨达斯·阿尔特斯成为一座不可错过的建筑剧院，为建筑师们明确使用的“标志性”标签提供了理由。

The new arts complex is built along the Bilbao model to be a focus for the local community, hosting not just gallery shows but also events

The bright red facade is a radical choice in a country that has a long association with white rendered concrete, in both its traditional vernacular architecture and the Critical Regionalism associated with Siza and his followers

The project is treated as a soaring enclosure, with high, angled roofs referencing the peaks of the nearby Lousã Mountains and generous new landscaping that knits the complex into the suburban context

Clean lines carve out the entrance

From the main foyer space, visitors can access all areas of the new complex

A monochrome colour palette reinforces the angles of the architecture

The House of the Arts also houses a 300-seater high-tech auditorium and a cafeteria, and there are plans for a small museum still in hand

The interplay between angled wall, light and shade, window, slot and landscape makes for a strong, satisfying composition

The House of the Arts an unmissable piece of architectural theatre that goes some way to justifying the 'iconic' tag used so explicitly by the architects
