At Quinta do Amparo, the house immortalised by Aquilino Ribeiro became a centre for literature and culture. Our role was to create the digital layer of a museum where the writer’s life, work and imagination could be actively explored.

On the ground floor, a graphic timeline combines film and directional audio to retrace Aquilino’s journey. A holographic pyramid revisits the legendary discovery of the manuscripts behind his masterpiece, while a touch screen opens the estate’s history and bibliography to deeper exploration.

Upstairs, an old classroom brings analogue and digital writing together. Visitors create a collaborative story in cursive with tablets and digital pens, compose landscapes from Aquilino’s words, and leave messages on a digital guestbook operated through a physical HCESAR typewriter.

Outside, a mobile app adds ten GPS-enabled augmented reality points across the estate and its surroundings. Literature leaves the page, turning the place itself into an interactive journey through memory, language and landscape.
