architecture
The campus was redesigned in the 1980s according to plans by the architect Nuno Portas and is shaped by architects from the architecture school of Porto . It consists of strictly ordered row buildings of the same size, which are arranged around a central open space that opens up to the extensive water landscape of the Ria of Aveiro . This open space is surrounded by a roofed colonnade, which offers protection from the sun and rain and connects most of the institute buildings with one another. Only a few buildings break out of this order, including the cafeteria and the university library designed by Álvaro Siza Vieira , which takes on the shape of an elephant. Its volume is similar to that of the other buildings, but it has been rotated 90 degrees and is thus oriented towards the Aveiro Ria . Its exterior is determined by the contrast between red brick surfaces and light natural stone, the color and material combination that Nuno Portas' urban design dictates. Also by Álvaro Siza Vieira is the water tower, a striking object at the western end of the campus.
There are also buildings by other famous architects from the Porto School of Architecture, such as Eduardo Souto de Moura (Geosciences Institute Building), Adalberto Dias, Alcino Soutinho and Goncalo Byrne (Rectorate).
