Well, probably lots of people won't get the title.
This is the "Casa de chá" in Leça da Palmeira, near Porto, Portugal. It was designed by Alvaro Siza (one of the world's most proeminent architects) very early on his career (1958, actually). It is pointed as an example of landscape integration as an inherent part of the architectural conception.
I hope you like it. Check out Alvaro Siza's work here or here.

| Built right into the rocks, how interesting! I think B&W was a good choise so that it does blend in |

| Needs way more of the architecture, and way less of the rocks, IMO. |

| sky is to bright, and rocks are too dark. I think different angles would have helped a lot too. Good place to shoot, worth doing some experimenting with |

| I can't say I like the subject too much, but I like your capture regarding exposure, DOF, sharpness. Even hiding the details of the horizon by brightening up the area adds an interesting touch. |

| where is the building... oh yes - behind the rocks!!! Interesting take on architecture that I sort of get, but doesn't rock my boat too hard - good tones |

| Nice picture thought it is, I feel it's more about the rocks than the architecture. |
