I think that the influences of Niemeyer are much more present then those of Frank Lloyd. When I look at the building skunked in to the vegetation the only thing that pops up in my mind is modern Brazilian architecture. Siza is a true master. It’s amazing how he was capable of assimilating that exact language making the whole thing look natural and in place throe such a casual and free use of methodology.

A brutalist dungheap. I cannot image a less inspiring place to teach architecture, or learn it. But then I suppose it's what the school deserved. They divorced architecture from its natural allies, the other fine arts, and decided it should be taught in isolation from any other form of artistic expression. I didn't hear of any connection to engineering or computer programming or history or business administration or political science or anything else of practical value for an architect either.
