Álvaro Siza – Iberê Camargo Museum

The Iberê Camargo Museum is an art museum dedicated to the late Brazilian painter Iberê Camargo. Built in 2003, the museum sits on Guaiba Lake in Porto Alegre. The building consists of three floors with ramps that line the wall and spiral around the perimeter of the interior. Interestingly, upon entering, visitors take an elevator straight to the top of the building where they then walk the ramps downward with access to the art displays. The blend of curves, sharp angles and unironic monotone color draws intrigue and is reminiscent of a building from Tony Hawk Pro Skater.
