2011 _ School of Cookery
The School of Cookery is an initiative by Nestle in the Central Market of Belo Horizonte. The work presented here represents 25% of the envisaged project, in which the bamboo dome covers the entire intermediate slab (mezzanine) and can accommodate other uses. The bamboo mesh forms a semi-transparent surface that delimits a boundary between the space of the school of cookery and the parking area. This arrangement thus preserves a certain visual permeability, such as the existing ceramic hollow element facades of the market. Amid the shops and market products, the intervention is simultaneously present and silent.
