HANGOVER bar is a temporary, auto-constructed, lowbudget bar for Ignition festival – an intergalacticencounter to celebrate music, architecture andnature. This music festival, in an old abandoned homestead in Penafiel – Portugal, was built around the idea ofhaving all its infrastructures auto-constructed andperfectly in tune with nature. This bar should be aslight and transparent as possible but simultaneouslyvisible and festive. It was constructed over apre-existing infrastructure on the site – an oldstone water tank that had the perfect location andproportions for the bar. Despite it’s heaviness alladded elements seem to be hanging over the stonetank. It is assembled from pre-fabricated cheapmaterials such as OSB panels, fiberglass corrugatedsheets and used steel-props. During the day thebar should be transparent and almost disguised innature, creating light nuances and colorful shadows. At nighttime it should be visible in the darkness ofthe natural venue and recognizable as a hangingplace. This bar should be as light and transparent aspossible but simultaneously visible and festive Campos△ Image 12 – At nighttime it should be visible in thedarkness of the natural venue and recognizable as ahanging place Pimenta Materials: Pre-existing stone tank, wood panels and beams, corrugated fiberglass panels, steelprops Sacle: 4 x 4 x 3. 3 m Author: Nuno Pimenta Construction team: Frederico Martins; Miguel C.
