MONSANTO, LISBON, PORTUGAL THE “FRALDINHAS” WATCH WAS CREATED BY SWATCH IN THE CONTEXT OF A SOLIDARITY CAMPAIGN WHOSE MAIN GOAL WAS TO OFFER A NEW HOME FOR THE “AJUDA DE BERÇO” SOCIETY (A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT TAKES CARE OF ABANDONED BABIES AND SMALL CHILDREN). THE NEW HOUSE WAS INAUGURATED THE 8TH JULY OF 2004, BEING THE RESULT OF THE REFURBISHING OF A SET OF RUNDOWN RURAL DWELLINGS, OFFERED BY THE LISBON TOWN HALL. THE ARCHITECTURE PROPOSAL MERGES THE SET OF DWELLINGS INTO JUST ONE HOUSE, BUT KEEPS THE OUTER FAÇADES' DESIGN. THE NEW HOUSE IS NOW DIVIDED IN THREE MAJOR AREAS: THE ADMINISTRATIVE AREA, THE CENTRAL AREA AND THE BABIES AREA, WITH THREE DIFFERENT COLOURS IN THE CORRESPONDING OUTER FAÇADES (BLUE, YELLOW AND RED). IN THE INSIDE, NEXT TO THE COURTYARD (AN OPEN AIR PLAYGROUND FOR THE CHILDREN), A NEW SOLID VOLUME APPEARS, COATED WITH COPPER.. |
