“There is no logic that can be superimposed on the city; people make it, and it is to them, not buildings, that we must fit our plans.” - Jane Jacobs -

2 Casa da Música, Porto [1999-2005] Rem Koolhaas
Casa da Musica is a Landmark on the panorama of Oporto. It took part of a Regeneration of the west part of the city and after ten years, it is still the icon contrasting with its surrounding. It is still shoking. It‘s still full of Contradictions. We define it as a modern Sculture: a building of nowhere - everywhere. Clear is the contrast between the huge autistic sculpture and the small old abbounded buildings around, between the users of the square (skaters and people going to the theatre), betweek its size and its entrance stairs, between its hugeness and its surrounding abbounded park. The square works for different uses - skateboarding, concert, meeting point - in order to become a main point of the area.

4 Leça da Palmeira swimming pools [1961-1966] à lvaro Siza
durante la passeggiata il bambino vide il leone, e ne rimase affascinato. “vorrei avvicinarmi, ma ho paura” “vieni, ti accompagno io” senza accorgersene, il bambino si sentì sicuro e, tra le braccia dell’ Architettura, seppe accarezzare il leone.

5 Subsidized Housing in São Vitor neighbourhood (SAAL), Porto [1974-1977] Álvaro Siza
The neighbourhood of São Victor is a palimpsest. Unravelling the different layers of its history answers the current question of the undefined spaces: they are the ruins of a plan that was never realised.

6 Carlos Ramos Pavillion, Faculty of Architecture, University of Porto [1985-1986] Ă lvaro Siza . Casa das Artes Cultural Center, Porto [1981-1991] Eduardo Souto de Moura
An enormous garden in the middle of the city gives sense to Casa das Artes – a museum like a stone wall that dilutes in the backdrop of the flowers, trees and people that come, meet and unwind here whereas layers of trees, hydrangeas and lilies surrounding the Carlos Ramos pavilion hide the depth of the little intimate courtyard - the place where students use to gather, talk and work.In both projects the presence of the garden reveals that omitting is more important than proposing, so that its fragility and rebelity engulfs the rigour of the actual building in a way that helps it exist. “The castle was big, though, wasn’t it? And the angel was big, very big, even when right next to you?”
