Summary:
Ce livre constitue un plaidoyer, par l'un des architectes majeurs de notre époque, destiné à éduquer le regard pour apprendre à observer notre environnement sans focalisation excessive sur ce qui peut apparaître "nouveau". Pour Alvaro Siza, imaginer ne consiste pas à "inventer" des éléments extraordinaires mais principalement à s'imprégner et à organiser différemment ce que le passé, les lieux ou les autres cultures nous livrent d'idées, de processus, de formes...L'architecte doit pouvoir être qualifié d'humaniste au sens où il cherche à servir avant tout les hommes pour lesquels ses bâtiments sont destinés. Il ne doit pas chercher a priori la prouesse technique ou plastique ce qui pourtant semble constituer la caractérisation d'une architecture contemporaine mondialisée. Pour Siza, l'un des fondamentaux reste bien le lieu, le site et sa prise en compte dans ses interactions avec l'"humain", au centre de toutes les contraintes d'un projet. Ces textes (illustrés de dessins originaux) témoignent de la démarche originale et respectueuse d'un très grand architecte.

Summary:
Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza says, "It is hard not to build what created the enthusiasm and pleasure of being an architect. But this is not wasted time." In the unbuilt works collected in this publication, thought, conception, and the timeless heritage of architecture, as well as ideas that through their power and poetic manifestation become models, are examined. The texts that comprise the first volume, written by people intimately familiar with Siza and his work, add memories, analyses, and lived experiences. A selection of texts from the architect himself frame not only the unbuilt projects he has selected but also his vision and approach as an architect, designer, and even sculptor.
