The<\/span> Palacete dos Viscondes de Balsem\u00e3o, <\/span><\/b>which also houses the Porto City Council\u2019s Culture and Heritage Department, is where is located the Material Base and Triplex.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The building was constructed in the mid-18th century by the nobleman, Jos\u00e9 Alvo Brand\u00e3o, and was inherited by the Balsem\u00e3o family and rented in the 1840s by Ant\u00f3nio Bernardino Peixe to build a hostel there. Profound remodelling works of the palace took place in the following decade, when it was acquired by the 1st Visconde da Trindade, Jos\u00e9 Ant\u00f3nio de Sousa Basto, leading to its current appearance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At this station, number 6, is the Materials Base, a municipal project that is pioneering at the national level and was attributed awards in 2009 and 2013. Opened to the public since 2010, it promotes the <\/span>safeguarding of the materials<\/span><\/b> that characterise the city\u2019s public image, collecting them from degraded buildings, or those to be demolished or altered, for the purpose of later returning them to the city.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this space, various <\/span>decorative and constructive elements<\/span><\/b> from buildings in Porto can be seen, such as <\/span>azulejo tiles<\/span><\/b>, in particular Hispanic-Arab specimens and a great diversity of patterns from the 17th to the 20th centuries, as well as a significant set of <\/span>stucco pieces<\/span><\/b> from Oficina Avelino Ramos Meara workshop, one of the most prestigious of its kind and the last to close in Porto.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Material Base also has a set of <\/span>place-name signs<\/span><\/b> collected on the public roads, and several wooden, iron and stonework artifacts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, Triplex<\/a> has a set of three exhibition rooms on the ground floor, that hosts exhibition projects conceived in partnership or in co-production.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
