Z!PP!NG ALONG
Project description
To connect the two different building identities, we create a "zipping along" system to let museum reflect the general life of Lisbon from the residential, and residential absorb public vitality from the museum. The "Zipping converter" grows from building A to B as a converter to connect the city, the museum and the residence. The system extending to the city’s interface on the west side, which becomes a bicycle ramp, is a "zipping ramp" as well as a start of the new lifestyle.
