The Centro de Artes Nadir Afonso designed by Louise Braverman Architect is located in Boticas, Portugal . By exposing the art of Nadir Afonso to a much larger audience, as well as serving as a cultural and economic engine for the local economy and surrounding region, the new museum is poised to become a global destination. Merging landscape and architecture, the new sustainable building is divided into two distinct but connected parts, The urban cultural structure across the street from the municipal building speaks to the future of Boticas, while a green-roofed park covered, below-grade, exhibition hall facing the adjacent rolling hills connects to its pastoral legacy.

The urban face of the building consists of an above grade double height entry hall with a second story balcony providing entrance to a 100 seat indoor auditorium, and an informal exterior auditorium that together with a multipurpose space, gift shop, and administrative space contribute to the civic stature of this growing Portuguese town.
