Biblioteca Municipal de Viana do Castelo Mural Artwork, Portugal

The Biblioteca Municipal de Viana do Castelo, conceived by the renowned Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza Vieira in 2007, stands as an architectural masterpiece in the heart of Viana do Castelo, Portugal. Andrew Lewis (Canada) has created fluid, humanistic artwork that introduces an element of movement and color, contrasting the serene and deliberate simplicity of the building’s minimal form. This union of contrasting aesthetics—Álvaro Siza Vieira’s quiet, sublime architecture and Lewis’ expressive visual language elevates the visitor's experience, blending architecture and art into a singular cultural identity.
