La Aldehuela is an large agricultural area, largely unstructured area crisscrossed by a network of paths and irrigation channels near the Douro River. The building is approached from the atony of a serial construction, close to the confirmation of the cultivated land deployed in the territory.

The hall, whose square floor plan and set raised on a robust plinth to protect it from the periodic flooding of the river, is divided into two independent exhibition areas by  an inner band housing the fair management and service areas. The interior and exterior spaces are separated by a thin sheet of corrugated sheets or translucent glass, which are mounted indistinctly between horizontal purlins.

The building, presented as a fragment of the space it occupies, has several access ramps, revealing its numbers, measurements, light, and geometry. Care has been taken with these concepts to offset its singularity, with the figuration of the elements of the work, diluting them through repetition and neutralising them for the benefit of the general space.

Distancing the significance of architectural elements from their exceptional nature to focus on the elemental, brings us closer to appreciating the formal and spatial efficiency of engineering, which is what really shapes the places and the space in which we live.
