International Contemporary Sculpture Museum & Abade Pedrosa Museum
Santo Tirso, Portugal
2012
The MIEC and MMAP project in Santo Tirso is a rare collaboration between two Pritzker Prize laureates, Siza and Souto de Moura. The core challenge was to house a contemporary sculpture collection while rehabilitating the historic Abade Pedrosa Museum, located in the former guesthouse of the 8th-century São Bento Monastery. Rather than compete, the architects devised a strategy of architectural diplomacy: a shared entrance through a new white volume links both institutions via an enclosed corridor, allowing each museum to maintain its distinct identity. The new building's height was deliberately limited to the monastery's cornice line—a gesture of deference to the historic monument. The design prioritizes spatial continuity and institutional autonomy, creating a unified cultural complex that respects the layered history of the site while introducing a quiet, minimalist architectural language.

MIEC与MMAP项目是两位普利兹克奖得主——西扎与苏托·德·莫拉的罕见合作。核心挑战在于如何为当代雕塑收藏建造新馆，同时修复位于8世纪圣本托修道院原宾馆内的阿巴德·佩德罗萨历史博物馆。两位建筑师并未让新旧建筑竞争，而是设计了一种"建筑外交"策略：通过一个新建的白色体量共享入口，并以一条封闭廊道连接两个机构，使每个博物馆保持各自独立的身份。新建筑的高度被刻意限制在修道院檐口线——这是对历史纪念碑的一种尊重姿态。设计优先考虑空间连续性与机构自主性，创造了一个统一的文化综合体的同时尊重了场地的历史层次，引入了一种安静的、极简主义的建筑语言。新建筑的外墙采用白色抹灰，底部则使用花岗岩护墙，呼应周边既有建筑的材料肌理。
