Abstract
The MMC is a secluded military zone that used to produce food for the army of Portugal in times of war. The area is vacant and decides the neighborhood of Beato, but it is now open for public development. The proposition in this paper is to transform the main production factory (milling factory) in a Culinary Art school. You will read about the struggle and scientific research that led to this design. The Culinary Art school interacts with the city on different levels of scale. The masterplan that accompanies the design reinstates the rich and royal green history of Beato. The design focusses on telling the narrative of Beato and the milling factory as singularities of this industrial heritage.
