But while much too little and too late, this deval- uation was significant in violating an endless round of offi- cial American pronouncements, which had pledged to maintain the $35 rate forevermore. ,

I think i got it…
Chris went to FAUP in Erasmus Program and flunked!!! Now he’s angry with Portuguese architecture and architects because they don’t understood his originality when he was a student for a year in Oporto…
Architecture has to, above all, express and offer quality, in terms of function, space, and esthetic. If besides all of this it’s original, well, better for everyone. Architecture is not a catwalk in Paris, where everybody has to suprise for it’s oustandig originality. Innovation it’s not form, material, image. It’s aproach, concept and emotion.

I like the project…
BUT¡¡!!…. it is true that many people cover themselves on the excuse of architectural traditions or “schools“ to avoid innovation. As patrick schumacher said, architects should be radical innovators… WHO IS evolving the fundaments of the school of oporto? even siza evolves with his projects. It can be compared to mexican architecture and the many thousands of copycats and barragan´s wannabes, the same legorreta has evolve very little his work…. so, don´t get offended… but the school of oporto was some time ago, and there are many bad copycats.

@ andre, please, that story about the lady has to be a joke!!! HAS TO BE!! completely absurd!!

I agree with Chris, this is indeed a bad project. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so i respect both sides as long as long as they show some respect.

PS – If I owned this place I’d show no mercy and ban roadkill for his first comment.

I’m completly agree with Ruy Dias, this is a very common project, no innovation, not a creative exemple to be shown, we must see a good creation, out of common things, do a serious choice, before publish.

I have no idea why ArchDaily keeps posting this s****! As a portuguese architect I’m ashamed to see this kind of projects here! This is definitely not a good project! I just wouldn’t call Nuno Brandão Costa a Souto de Moura copycat, but I completely agree with Chris on everything else!

@opium
who said anything about a cutting edge masterpiece? all I said was that this was a failed attempt to copy siza’s style! and it is, in fact, a bad copy. plain and simple!

@andre
‘unique aspects of the project’? that’s my whole point! there’s absolutely nothing! unique about this project. it’s a copy/paste/copy/paste endless sequence…
you didn’t insult anybody and neither did I, but this is going nowhere, so this is it for me.

Is a very beautiful building but ther is not place for thinking. Feels really uncomfortable be there trying to concicliate feelings and space. I dont´t like it.
