Come in is a proposal by Fala designed in 2012. It is located in Guimaraes Portugal in an old town setting. Its scale is extrasmall. Key material is brick. The concept of cells is explored.

The competition asked for a set of temporary interventions to occur during the summer in Guimarães, as a part of the European Capital of Culture program. The aim of the proposal was to generate an intervention that would be simultaneously an art piece, a piece of historical documentation, a bespoke series of exhibition and performance spaces and an unavoidable set of objects able to create a new wayfinding within Guimarães. ‘Come in’ suggested to place abstract pieces of architecture all over the city, giving the population the possibility to choose the content of each one. Each box could be an exhibition space, a garden or even a playground. The structures would be all built with the same contrasting material and would suggest to visitors to navigate in a new way through the old town. Each one of the 100 ‘frames’ could hold a picture of a new approach to culture.
