This is such an interesting and cool project, the interior space feels, at least in some of the photos, down to earth and welcoming. Brilliant Siza.

this is one of my favorite pieces of architecture. i remember seeing the construction pictures a few years back, and i instantly fell in love with it.

I like Alvaro Siza very much,the pure color,only the light and the relationship between the volumes! The form always cute and naive. And he can take some interesting room to people who use it!

Yes, somehow Siza applies here a synthesis between a linear museum – the leaning corridors – (and Guggenheim is a paradigm) and a hall museum – the rectangular flat rooms. Corridors of two natures – flexibility and liberty of own’s choice… And please, Siza’s buildings are not orthogonal! Get to know them, I’m pretty sure you’ll learn something… Instead (and far different from the curves of ‘objectual’ Niemayer’s buildings), they are organic. Very pleased to know good architecture still is an intellectual work made by intelligent persons – continuing/transforming/developing concepts, places and history – joining antagonisms, pushing culture further. Congratulations to Siza’s office…

Bill you’re right it’s too generic to talk about curves, but what about this curves (waves) at the Copan building?

or even this one compared with the rooftop gesture

I don’t think Siza wouldn’t take advantage at making a building in Brazil without making a gentleman’s gesture to his colleages in Brazil…

You are absolutely right, that window is an undoubtfull Corbusier’s heritage mole.
I eat my words
On Neimeyer’s … well, sure he does curves.
