In Bas Princen's color photograph, the building unfolds elegantly across the hill, its structure fragmented and elongated to maintain a low profile in the landscape. Daniel Libeskind's signature angular forms are articulated in textured brick, now complemented by the lustrous warmth of copper cladding, a nod to Aires Mateus's geometric purity. The copper panels, catching the light, add a dynamic, ever-changing element, reflecting Alvar Aalto's love for organic materials. This fusion of textures and materials, captured by Princen's keen eye for color and composition, gives the building a vibrant yet unobtrusive presence, harmoniously blending advanced design with the natural environment. --v 5.2
