MARANHÃO NEW ADMINISTRATIVE CENTER

CONCEPT: the redefinition of a place

The contemporary architecture developed as a sculptural language has the function of redefining the site (local), restructure the elements for the construction of a unitary form. In this direction, the proposal for the New Administrative Center of the State of Maranhão must express the values of the institution through an aesthetic representation located between the identity fields of space and place. A contemporary language that shows respect for the existing legacy but is not submissive to it. Thus, existing buildings and new structures interact in a spatial dynamics in search of the unitary form. Such a form will be the representativeness of an institution that values sustainable development, citizenship and order. Once the structural remodeling of the architecture is established, it becomes determinant of a balanced and constructive unit set of an innovative “site specific”.
