About the book

“Carlos Nuno Lacerda Lopes stands out on the lively modern-day Portuguese architectural scene for the maturity of his designs and his special awareness of the forms and materials he uses. His works show constant attention to stylistic features designed, however, to provide the most direct way of embodying building's structural-functional traits, hence neatly set in the environment as part of an open approach to modern-day values actually dating back to ancient times.”
