Perfectly integrated into the landscape of the Park, the new Álvaro Siza Wing is a building that doesn't impose itself and doesn't pretend to be an imposing architectural gesture, but rather an expression of the natural growth of the Serralves Museum, like a new branch growing from a tree. It represents the expression of Serralves’ development while celebrating the global influence of Siza’s work and solidifying Serralves as the place that brings together the most significant collection of buildings designed by the brilliant architect.
