A field trip brought Silva and Axel to Portugal with students of the University of Pennsylvania’s Design School. Organizing the trip kept us busy for another while but it was great to see some great architecture and some great offices. The highlights were the office visits at Alvaro Siza’s and Manuel Aries Mateus’s. The best buildings were the pools and the tea house by Siza, the Casa de Musica by OMA and the soccer stadium in Braga by Souto de Moura (photo).
The picture shows a part of the quarry in which the soccer stadium is enbedded.
