Siza's architecture is truly poetic. One of my favorite shots.

Serralves Villa constitutes an important extension of the Museum of Contemporary Art, reserved for presentation of temporary exhibitions. Originally designed as a private residence, the Villa – which is a unique example of Art Deco architecture – and the park – inspired by the modernists – were commissioned by the second Count of Vizela, Carlos Alberto Cabral. The building was constructed on the outskirts of Oporto between 1925 and 1944.
In both architectural and landscape terms, the property constitutes a notable and harmonious complex – a unique building in Portugal and Europe. In view of their important architectural interest, the buildings at Serralves were jointly classified as a “Building of Public Interest” in 1996 - Serralves.

great shots!
Yes, I think Casa da Musica by Koolhaas is the best example of human scale architecture. It could be private villa as a small pablic house. Shape is first and function is on second place, dood piece of postmodernism.
