Porto Cruise Terminal. Luis Pedro Silva

11/04/2016

This book explores this work into three parts; from conception with the first reflections of the architect, through construction to the final result.
Along with all the considerations that are done and to be done about this unique piece of architecture, the terminal port of Leixões will always be “a building at sea, alone, covered with scales of opalescent glow very sensitive to variations of light and movement of the observer. The curved shapes that twist and arise from the central patella suggest the gesture of welcome to visitors. ” (Alvaro Domingues)
