"Sérgio Fernandez, a collaborator of Viana de Lima on this project, recalls that the original intention was to build a tower, but the University quickly rejected that option. Other proposals were left behind, such as the construction of an external ramp that would have provided access to the upper floor in an equally Le Corbusier-inspired gesture. The Faculty of Economics at the University of Porto, like much of the architecture that is built, results from various compromises. Even though it is modern, this architecture is not perfect, but it is certainly the image of perfection. Rui Pedro Bordalo's photographs demonstrate this, and, just like the recent restoration project, they dignify what was best done before there was better technology to do it." - Pedro Bandeira
