a day trip to Aveiro University - modern buildings designed by portuguese architects
rectory & administration building by goncalo byrne & manuel aires mateus:
library by alvaro siza:
school of mechanical engineering by adalberto dias:
my favourite - tactile effect through simple means - just by raking the mortar joints and washing the wall with daylight from above, the otherwise plain brick wall is made to come alive
school of geology by souta de moura:
pedagogic, scientific & technological centre by vito figueiredo:
water tower by alvaro siza:
back in porto:

walked around the city & the land across the river (part of the world heritage classified area) to do some urban conditions research... this time, we went down a different set of long, winding staircase
lepak at the riverside cafe all afternoon! haha this trip was far more relaxed than the rest 
we got back up with, fortunately, the funicular

Porto 1.4
|
|
casa da musica by rem koolhaas/OMA & ARUP
- virtual tour
... ran out of batteries mid-tour 
also went to siza's archi office about half-hour walk from there.... The five of us arrived late because we went to eat first, but surprisingly, the door was opened for us by the master himself, who was discreetly on his way out! (We were supposed to meet his workers only) ngeehehehe atuk yg chomel!
We walked all the way back to our hotel, taking the route along the river... it think it was about an hour long walk, with a killer climb of a loooong, winding set of staircase (kalah batu caves)... haih~ rase cam nak pengsan... it was a worthwhile walk however, as we got to see the city at night, passing by 3 of the main bridges
