Risco updates Portuguese events centre housed in former convent

Portuguese studio Risco has renovated the Beato Convent Events Centre, an events space housed within a former convent in Lisbon, sensitively updating its existing fabric and adding a series of contemporary additions.
Dating back to the 15th century, the Convent of Beato António comprises a number of buildings dating from different eras, which have been used as an events space since the 1980s.
