Metamorfose: The ruin, part of the history of the city, is now an area of intervention &, first and foremost, of imagination. It creates a new scenery in Porto and dignifies a space that was once destitute. /

An exhibition design by FAHR 021.3, designed to tell the story of innovation in Oporto. The modular structure is composed of tubular metallic profiles painted gray & green joints.

Eclipse: installed for the 20th anniversary of the classification of the Historic Centre of Porto as a Unesco World Heritage Site. The object faces the surroundings in an attitude of rupture & daring, a sphere 6m in diameter that invades the wide & gives it a new centrality. Constructed only with ventilation ducts – Spiro type. /
