A place where ideas come together! Arrebita is a social entrepreneurship project with the mission to fight the abandonment of inner Porto.
The project is based on the idea that by creating win-win exchanges between different parties we can refurbish buildings for free. It is aimed for owners without means and works on a collaborative network that involves international architecture and engineering students, supplier companies of construction materials and specialist university professors.
Porto, as a city with a unique atmosphere, had an engaging effect on me. That is why I feel involved with the huge problem of urban abandonment and it´s leading role everywhere in Porto. Nevertheless the project doesn´t learn great celebrity in Porto.

That is why I thought about a place where all interested participants come together to find out more about the project. Here, Arrebita does not only approach people, but citizens and participants can get together. This meeting point could be also used as a public space, an outdoor head quarter, a working space, an information point, a place of discussion and exchange.
The pavilion design is based on the Arrebitalogo. Tree trunks seem to grow out of several points, building chairs and tables with multiple elevation. External points of the logo grow out higher to bear a canvas, which acts as sun protection. The logo of Arrebita grows to a place where ideas come together!
