On the other side, this renewed space promised, from its very beginning, to revitalise the city centre: architecturally, in a dialogue with its history and its outskirts, and, culturally, from the possibility of a new programme with immense opportunities.<\/p>\n
Finally, and perhaps most important of all, this building ultimately expresses a moment of consolidation of Cape Verdean craftsmanship and the emergence of a new force for the artistic and creative sector.<\/p>\n
Thus, throughout the period in which I documented the work of enlarging and renovating the CNAD, I sought to approach an understanding of both its physical and symbolic dimensions (is that what architecture is?).\u201d<\/p>\n
