Dezeen | Álvaro Siza expands his Serralves Museum in Porto with angular gallery @dezeen | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza has expanded the Serralves Museum in Porto, which he completed in 1999, with an angular extension housing some of his archival works.
Named the Álvaro Siza Wing, the three-storey extension has a geometric shape that branches out from the existing museum and slots in between the trees in Serralves Park.
The Álvaro Siza Wing is the latest collaboration between the 90-year-old architect and the Serralves Foundation – the cultural institution behind the Serralves villa and museum, which are located within the park.
It opened over the weekend with C.A.S.A., a showcase of work by Siza, and a permanent exhibition of the Serralves Foundation's archives titled Improbable Anagrams.
