leca swimming pools

Everything I’ve read about this Alvaro Siza’s design is that it is a beautiful blend with nature and how water is the source of life and how it is a delightful mind inspiring design. It looks like some Soviet era ugly cement blocks with a pool tied into the rocks. I don’t get it. I guess it was so ugly that it was abandoned for number of years. Only recently has it reopened. It is also weird how people are laying in the sand next to the structure instead of some sort of deck or place to gather. The first high tide and you get washed away is another problem. Lots of reasons to not praise this design.
