"...As we reach the -for now- end of the readings that have attempted to define the intellectual framework of Siza's architectural work, it is not surprising for careful observers that the serene, vital, delicate spatial design and the poetic quality created by material and the light that brings it to life are formed by solid surfaces with deep fissures, bold angles, curves, and large amorphous galleries. Each of these has achieved an appropriate/harmonious integrity within Siza's architecture, in a way that leaves no doubt about its scale, size, and volume."
