This proposal attempts to realize the transcendental journey of Jose Saramago\u2019s novel “The Tale of the Unknown Island”, and the influences of Portuguese literature on the search for oneself and the unknown, in the spirit of discovery and creativity. The proposal evokes a journey to an unexplored territory of architecture that aspires to operate beyond conventional building practices.
\nThe materials of stone and steel were chosen to compliment each other, and the design exploited each one\u2019s characteristics, creating a multitude of spatial and sensory experiences throughout.
\nThe project alludes to Portugal\u2019s rich history of commerce, while pointing towards future achievements.
\nThe proposal consists of the construction of a large \u201cboat of stone\u201d as inspired by Saramago\u2019s tale that will \u201cmoor\u201d at various public events, and hold a variety of events within. By interweaving a narrative with innovative fabrication techniques, it aims to become an inspirational approach towards a future of new territories and discoveries to come.<\/p>\n
