Porto's Subway Through The Lens of Fernando Guerra

The following photo set by Fernando Guerra focuses on Porto's Subway, a project completed in 1996 and projected by the important Portuguese Architect Álvaro Siza Vieira.

Although it demands an extremely functional and austere design, it is possible to see the gestures of the architect through the details and surprises.
