Description
This project by Viana de Lima, whose first drawings go back to the 1960s, is pioneering in many respects. It is one of the first buildings to be set in the university campus of Asprela, that in the following years became the student city of Porto. It distinguishes itself, naturally, for the shameless modernity of its design, expressed in the large volumes in seeming concrete. In its interior, the wideness of the spaces are still surprising, with a highlight on the “Room of 70 meters”, the extreme height of the Main Hall, the wide glass corridors and the inside patios. The intelligence in the organization of the spaces, the attention to detail and the quality of construction, make it, more than 40 years passed, still a reference work that deserves to be maintained and revisited.
