Layers is an exhibition space meant to display information about the new residential area in Trafaria on the citys eastern hillside. This hard to reach place with spectacular views is made accessible through the refurbishing of a 19th century road that used to connect Trafaria with the city of Murfacém on top of the hill. The physical shape of Layers is a representation of Trafarias geographical expansion. Different stages of Trafarias growth has been roughly sketched in indian ink and layered on top of each other. This layering was then explored in three dimensions resulting in a top heavy form reaching up and out from the slope, expressing the continuing growth of Trafaria. The building is temporary but by creating a structure that can be used for greenery the building can after its use be tranformed into a public park overlooking the city.
