Barbosa & Guimarães

A monograph of this well-known firm of architects amazes us with a set of outstanding works. One exceptional example is the recent Vodafone headquarters building in Porto. According to Fátima Fernandes and Michele Cannatà, the authors of the introductory critical text, “These projects intend to, in some way, respond and provoke a new phase in the so-called 'School of Porto' that, outside of the academic dogmatic formulas, can produce new and stimulating opportunities for reformulating the disciplinary structure, using an expressive and globalising language able to open a dialog with international contemporary production.”
