The space of the building is not complete, or in another words, is not seem as a whole. Curved surface and tilted walls are occasionally showed in specific curvature or angle in the house. The roof and the ground are tilted as well with multi-layers. Sometimes the relationship between Indoor and outdoor space is vague and reversal. In Siza’s building, the complexity of space made people in the building confused about the route. No matter in or outside the building, various angles of the slope established a dynamic link between the moving people and the space. People can imagine the space behind the turning corner and the shelter, the experience in the building is full of surprise and expectation.
