- Big Windows in Porto
Acoustic specialist Renz van Luxemburg was closely involved in the design of the Casa da Música by OMA in Porto. Two spectacular big windows connect the concert hall with the city outside. What did it all involve? Jeroen Mensink interviewed Van Luxemburg.ArchiNed.nl – news

- Casa da Música Porto by OMA
For many years, new noticeable objects in the urban landscape of Porto have been ruled by consumerism, with shopping malls and speculative housing complexes, and by the established codes of the Porto School, with Álvaro Siza as the foreman.

- Casa da Musica, Porto
The ‘Casa da Musica’ by OMA was to have been the architectural icon for Porto, European Cultural Capital in 2001. But protracted work on the foundations and unforeseen weather conditions delayed completion of the building. In contrast to the Palace of the Soviets in the 1930s, when similar conditions transformed a communist icon into an enormous swimming pool, Porto persevered in its pursuit of ‘Glokoolhaasination’. Work on Casa da Musica will finish in July 2004. A report on the project.ArchiNed.nl – news
Situated next to Boavista Plaza, one of Porto's busiest roundabouts, Casa da Musica is almost invisible despite its strong formal expression. This is caused in part by the trees on the roundabout, from where the building is best viewed. And it is par…

Today it is announced that Rem Koolhaas is the 23rd Pritzker Prize Laureate. As a congratulation on our part we hereby publish an article by Rodrigo Cardoso on OMA's House of Music in Porto.ArchiNed.nl – news
The feelings aroused by the project of the House of Music can perhaps be put together under one category: they are excessive. The City Hall shows excessive pride, the »intellectual elite« shows excessive excitement, the »progressive« people show exce…
