Not all of Lisbon's architecture is historic. The city has grown and developed across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and its newer buildings sometimes take the warmth and color of the old vernacular and apply them to entirely contemporary forms. This building — pale butter yellow stucco, the color of the old city — has a facade that zigs and zags: the walls step in and out in a repeating V-pattern, each recess framing a window, each projection casting a shadow that picks out the geometry in deeper yellow. Shot face-on, the pattern becomes almost optical — a surface that seems to advance and recede simultaneously, the building playing with depth while presenting itself as flat. The color is Lisbon. The geometry is entirely its own idea.
