With this contest, it is intended that the participants draw inspiration from the public space that will be intervened, in order to give new life to Eira. These lands are characteristic of the countryside and have had great importance in the development of small communities and stand today to the abandonment and condemned to oblivion. The focus is therefore an innovative approach that excites and can motivate new generations to their valuation.
PROGRAM
The theme of the composition should serve as inspiration for the creation of a single piece, which takes visitors to dream and feel the music. This should be a reflection of the spirit that lives in the village during the days of the festival. It should therefore be a tribute to the music and in particular the Portuguese music.
The space created should promote interaction and socialization among all who use it and reinterpret the role of eiras today.
The land where is the Eira is known to be torrid, on August afternoons, so the space can benefit from shade or devices that allow a more comfortable occupation, inviting stay.
The Eira Lounge Pavilion project should also encourage and highlight the need for principles of ecological and sustainable design whenever possible. The space where the project will be installed, is a prime area to watch the concerts that will take place on this stage. For this reason, the Eira Lounge Pavilion should not be an obstacle to the movement in the Eira Stage area, but should promote a fluid space, permeable and with a strong relationship with the surrounding – bars, stage, access and other surrounding support structures.
The Eira Lounge Pavilion should respect the costs established for the work.

The régie is at the center of the land and must be part of the Eira Lounge Pavilion proposal design, so that respect the reserved area and the acoustic needs of the equipment. Ideally it should be minimized the impact of the structure in place as a visual barrier that does not allow viewing spectacles.
The régie is a covered structure on top, covered the side elevations up to half the width and completely in the rear elevation. The aim is to protect from wind and possible rain but no soundproofing, which would be detrimental to the sound operations.
At the point of installation, the structure must be 30 cm high in relation to the land quota.
Access to the structure must be conditioned to authorized personnel only and should be considered a borderline zone prohibited public access.
