The book is alluding to culture, wisdom and knowledge and representing a few institutions promoting these values Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Biblioteca Municipal Palácio das Galveias, universities, schools and associations. Arch and lyre are alluding to the access to the world of arts and cultural events.
