First of all one needs to have an idea. The idea is the starting point as ethereal as inexhaustible. A project is made of ideas which are the fuel of the project. The idea emerges and one draws a line. One follows the line as if it were a map. This dissertation thesis is presented as an Atlas: a set of ideas which are themes and which are maps. An array of reflections on scattered contents which support and, at the same time, are generated by a set of different materializations that culminate in the last representation of the project idea. The main goal is not to produce a specific or an ultimate solution for a new hotel in Boavista. It is above all, the action of wandering around the initial idea which starts getting its shape and changing throughout a process that contemplates the participation of a genuine client. Thereby, the formulation of this project concept ranges between a particular order, the willingness of a client, the interpretation of the place and, simultaneously, it gives rise both to the exploration of a certain way of thinking and the way one builds one's own way of thinking. Instead of building the project, one builds here the tuning of a subjective approach about the architectural creation for a specific place. Some options are made and the pitch is produced behind the pursuit of a flexible solution, a picture or of the expression of a new building in the city. A seven storey hotel in front of the famous "Casa da Música".
