Graça Correia as stated in the prologue: Its architecture is above all a result of high intelligence, marked by a disciplinary truly sensitive issues without falling into dogmas and fundamentalisms approach. It reveals a huge concern, historical rigor, ethical and
aesthetic.

Stresses the importance of constructive rigor, less concerned, however, with constructive “sincerity” and more determined to build a relationship with the place through strong tectonic expression of their own building systems. The place is for him an enormous importance away, however, regionalist or contextual understanding of Kenneth rampton and seen from Oporto, or France, Abu Dhabi or New York, is not an architecture neighborhood or local or Portuguese – He has no country. And once again, as I said Pessoa. “Portuguese is essentially cosmopolitan was never a true Portuguese Portuguese: it was always everything” This is Eduardo.
