Nature Observatory of Monsanto – a Symbolic relationship

"The proposal confronts the pre-existence of the panoramic restaurant of Monsanto, enhancing its physical condition and the place as landscape reference.The project is freed of all building elements of the building, retaining only what is considered founder of its virtues - structure.Therefore proposes a new relationship between architecture and landscape in a construction able to support multiple activities."
