Skrevet af Álvaro Siza & Carlos Castanheira
Alvaro Siza (b.1933) is considered Portugal’s greatest living architect.
His buildings are known for their austere beauty and their imaginative
relationship to their surroundings. Relatively unknown outside his
native Portugal when he won the 1992 Pritzker Prize, he has since built a
number of masterful buildings around the world while retaining strong
ties to his country. This volume highlights over 20 of these projects,
approximately half of which are in Portugal. Each is explained in depth
by author Carlos Castanheira as well as Siza himself, and illustrated
with photographs, complete sets of drawings, and a wealth of Siza’s
sketches.
