As a museologist I ask about the people of Luz. Do they USE their museum often? Does the museum fullfils their needs? Do they like it? Does the museum play un important roll in their daily life?

Don't go in the peak of summer or you will cook [temperatures exceed 40 degrees c] but accommodation although not easy to find is very reasonably priced but you may prefer stay in the Evora and make the drive there... or even stay in the neighbouring Spanish cities - it's just across the border Well Robert… this is in the south of the country; far enough from the Algarve and the larger cities but you will need some wheels or else the most hidden gems will be out of reach.

A photo is just a still representation of a much more lively scene. I am now very tempted to see this building. What are your tips for visiting this area? Yes I agree with Roadkill.

I wonder if the real experience of the space would be as vivid and elegant as the images. The photographer certainly earned his money.

We take enormous respect for the landscape we're operating in. It's something that has grown with years and that different architects express in different ways but yes i would clearly say that's the portuguese trademark the same way the dutch show that almost child like optimism...i guess we're a bit more sceptikal and more low key.

On one side as i said earlier we have probably the best architectural schools(speacially in Porto)and on top of that we have world class act like Siza.On the other side we have had a long time debater over a law that permits non architects(civil engeneers for example)to sign architectural projects. The consequences of that are that lots of the construction in portugal,namely housing,iludes architects.But i must say this has gradually changed and now promoters see that bringing a good architect into their speculative projects can earn them more respect and money. If was to say what the real problem for young architects here in portugal i would say that is their excessive number making their wages very low or even non existing. The older allready estabilished architects take advantage of this cheap labour and they use the portuguese architectural syndicate to promote this policy. The situation here is paradoxal Robert.
