Here it goes another photo from Oporto :))

This is Casa da Musica

A Casa da Música é a principal sala de espectáculos do Porto. Foi projectada pelo arquitecto holandês Rem Koolhaas e construída como parte do projecto Porto Capital Europeia da Cultura em 2001 (Porto 2001), no entanto, a construção só ficou concluída em 2005, imediatamente transformou-se num ícone na cidade.

In English

Casa da Música is a major concert hall space in Porto, Portugal which houses the cultural institution of the same name with its three orchestras Orchestra Nacional do Porto, Orchestra Barroca and Remix Ensemble. It was designed by the Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas with Office for Metropolitan Architecture and Arup-AFA, and was built as part of Porto's project for European Culture Capital in 2001 but was only finished in the first half of 2005 and immediately became an icon in the city. The Building engineers were Ove Arup - London together with Afassociados, Oporto.

Although the opening day concert took place on the April 14 with Clã and Lou Reed, the building was inaugurated on April 15, 2005 by the Portuguese president. The Prime-minister and many other notable politicians and Porto society were present for the concert by the Orquestra Nacional do Porto.

Wow, such a good idea to take the picture just at the floor level! I like the reflection on the floor and the transparency on the walls. The red armchair attracts the eyes. Goodcapture her. TFS. Regards,

Olá Marco
Grande profundidade de campo, muito interessante o ponto de vista!
Uma moderna construção, com detalhes arquitetônicos curiosos para uma "Casa de Música".
Já estive algumas vêzes em Portugal, mas sempre nas redondezas de Lisboa, nunca no Porto, infelizmente.
Obrigado por informar e compartilhar a imagem! Um abraço brasileiro, aqui distante do Recife,
Nivaldo

Olá Marco,
Ao contrário do que me é habitual apenas duas palavras: Excelente... tudo.
Muitos parabéns, mb

Ciao Marco, splendid composition with fantastic light, great perspective, very well done, ciao Silvio
