Projecto para a extensão de um centro comercial existente, localizado em Luton, Inglaterra. Os novos 5000 m2 de área comercial seriam criados em redor de uma nova entrada principal, acrescentando qualidade e fluidez à experiência urbana e de consumo.
Como esquema comercial, foi um exercício simples. O desafio era criar uma nova fachada icónica e uma ligação espacial efectiva com a renovada praça S. George; o verdadeiro centro de Luton. A integração com os edifícios circundantes bem como a interacção com a nova praça eram a chave do sucesso.
Trabalhei neste projecto desde o conceito inicial e projecto de licenciamento até ao projecto de execução. Durante este período actuei como coordenador entre o cliente e as diversas engenharias. Esta foi a minha primeira experiência como coordenador de projecto na Broadway Malyan, a qual qualifico como muito positiva.

Located in Luton, England, the project consisted on a 5000 m2 expansion of an existing shopping centre, while creating a new modern main entrance, adding quality and fluidity to the retail and urban experience.
As a retail scheme, this was a fairly simple exercise. The challenge was to produce an iconic new façade, and a strong link to the newly refurbished St. George’s Square, effectively the heart of Luton. The integration with the surrounding buildings as well as the interaction with new square was the key to success.
I worked on this project from concept and planning application to detail design. During that period I acted as the design team coordinator, between consultants and client. This was my first project manager experience at Broadway Malyan, and it was a very positive one.







Welcome to my ongoing diary of thoughts and projects.
Here I sketch the storyboard of 2 characters, trapped in my body and linked to the world through my senses. They control my brain in a constant search for life waves, the eternal energy that feeds their souls.
Gummavitta is the explorer, the architect and the scientist. He searches the hemispheres of the earth, the mind and the human condition.
Mummagumma is the traveler, the painter and the dancer who collects Gummavitta´s experiences and memories and applies them to achieve connections. Connections with himself, which means you and I, us and them.
