Architectus faced several challenges when designing a new maritime passenger terminal for Fortaleza: complying with the diverse rules of the sector; operating under a reduced timeline; attending to the needs of the building's various users; designing a building with flexible use and a striking form; and working in an area of the city with great touristic and scenic potential.
