Forum Algarve, Portugal
design response
Inspired by the historic square in Faro, the architecture re-creates a walled village environment with the whole of the shopping centre developed around a central plaza. Individual buildings are unique in their size, height and colour, designed to represent an organic growth. Traditional local decorative elements have been incorporated into the scheme.
