Fundação de Serralves | Porto
Architect: Álvaro Siza | 1999
Located in Porto, the Fundação de Serralves brings together museum, park and historic villa within a single cultural landscape.
The Museu de Arte Contemporânea, designed by Álvaro Siza and inaugurated in 1999, establishes a continuous dialogue with the gardens through pathways, courtyards and openings that connect architecture and nature. Alongside the museum, the historic Serralves Villa introduces an Art Deco presence that enriches the layered identity of the complex.

Élevé | Sebastiano Gallizia & Seunghyeon Yoo
Designer:
@cebactiano@yoo.seunghyeon
Designed for the fifth edition of @4321.kr , Élevé was inspired by the process of transforming the use of vertical and horizontal elements in the SONGEUN space from architecture into product functionality. The horizontal surface, extending from the vertical circular form, creates an additional layer of space on the desk, offering users a variety of functions. Additionally, the texture of the pine tree pattern found on the concrete surfaces of the building’s interior and exterior is reinterpreted through the sand-casting technique of aluminum.
Casa das Histórias Paula Rego | Cascais
Designed by Eduardo Souto de Moura and inaugurated in 2009 in Cascais, Casa das Histórias Paula Rego was conceived as a museum dedicated to the work of Portuguese artist Paula Rego.
The building unfolds through a composition of pure volumes clad in red pigmented concrete, where the two pyramidal towers become the project’s defining feature, reinterpreting architectural archetypes rooted in Portuguese tradition.
Set within a Mediterranean landscape of maritime pines, Atlantic light and expansive green areas, the architecture balances monumentality and silence, transforming the museum into a presence that feels both abstract and deeply connected to its surroundings.
