According to Peter Zumthor, architecture can be analysed through a poetic perspective and be
a source of inspiration. In nine chapters, Zumthor describes what is really important in the
process of creating an atmosphere of a space. Thus, the Belem Cultural Center, located in
Lisbon (Portugal), was analyzed according the nine concepts that constitute the work
"Atmospheres" by Peter Zumthor. The Belem Cultural Center is located in an area of great
historical importance, for it marks the starting of maritme discoveries. Currently serves as
a core facility for cultural and leisure activities.

Para Peter Zumthor, a arquitectura pode ser observada através de um ponto de vista poético e
como fonte de inspiração. Através de nove conceitos, Zumthor descreve o que é realmente
importante no processo de criação de uma atmosfera de um espaço. Desta forma, o Centro
Cultural de Belém, localizado em Lisboa (Portugal), foi analisado através dos conceitos que
constituem a obra "Atmosferas" de Peter Zumthor. O Centro Cultural de Belém insere-se numa
zona de grande importância histórica, pois assinala o ponto de partida dos descobrimentos
marítimos. Actualmente serve a função de polo dinamizador de actividades culturais e de
lazer.
