Image Courtesy Ruca – Rui De Carvalho Architect To create a concept for this building, it would make sense that it was connoted to the general theme of the exhibition. Taking this into account, was used as an generator idea the ideal of the French Revolution, \”liberty, equality and fraternity ‘, which if theoretically fulfilled, would be the surgical response to the problem that the planet and its inhabitants go through.  Image Courtesy Ruca – Rui De Carvalho Architect There is a need to create three spaces so distinct, it makes sense that each of them symbolizes one of the concepts of the French Revolution.

Image Courtesy Ruca – Rui De Carvalho Architect There are three restaurant areas. One is a restaurant with typical food of the seven most important areas in France, where it will have a room that will transport the client for each specific zone. The other area is a restaurant of the five most respected French restaurants, where guests will also transported to them, all through multimedia systems with screens and sounds.  Image Courtesy Ruca – Rui De Carvalho Architect The exhibition area will be a circuit composed of multimedia rooms, also through sound and image, where along that circuit the visitor can choose which way to solve problems related to the theme of the exhibition. In the final, they will be encounter with the outcome of their decisions, in the repercussions room, which is comprised of holograms and screens that will put visitors into the action.
