This visual narrative intends to portray photographically the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, located in the Asprela pole and its direct/indirect relations between the exterior and the interior. It is a college of irregularly regular plan, because from its asymmetrical axis we can notice symmetries in the two wings that compose it. Firstly, the main building, with its 7 annexes, which face the street (creating, almost, a feeling of a wall for those who pass by). On the opposite side, the various engineering departments, apparently independent, are interconnected.
