“The new built volume evolves in a continuous manner: low, opposite the two- or three- storey structures of the historic fabric of the town, before beginning, as it approaches buildings of greater size, to grow progressively in the form of a zigzagging ramp.
On entering the space liberated by the demolition of the old market, the new building counterposes its volumetric continuity to the compact fragmentation of the historic fabric. It becomes a body that constructs a new order, materialized in tones that make it dissolve into the historic fabric. A body that moves in the space and models it, that twists and turns before- turned to stone- encountering the right shape and position.”   Alvaro Siza
