The articulation between the different internal levels and the relations between the several environments was submitted to the functional demands and to a philosophy of architectonical composition of the parts, with the objective of making perfectly recognized the circulation areas.
This articulation was thought in function of the functional and representative character of the building, without forgetting, however, the importance between the interior/exterior relation and the solar orientation.
Aware that improving the quality of the environment in which we live on, constitutes today, more than a generalized objective, a demand to prevent and amend the possible disastrous effects, and trustworthy of the strategies importance of the Centre of Interpretation of the Parque Natural de Montesinho in the process of formation of an environment culture, we consider that the building should transmit these values at the first eye contact.
