Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza unveils a look at the Álvaro Siza Wing, which is the latest expansion extension at the Serralves Museum in Porto. The museum was originally completed in 1999 and has angular structures that house some of the architect's works. The Álvaro Siza Wing is three-stories -- it is designed with geometric angular forms that branch out of the museum's base and slot between the trees.
CEO of the Foundation, Ana Pinho explains, "This museum deserved to overcome the limitations of space that constrained its capacity for artistic dissemination, and that's what brought us here. This building represents a new milestone for Serralves while paying a well-deserved tribute to Álvaro Siza – one of the greatest names in the history of world architecture."
