This project began with the opportunity to photograph Monte da Lapa, one of Álvaro Siza’s last projects in Porto. Its dual simplicity and complexity opened the creative doors to a universe where light, matter, and space dialogue with almost poetic precision.

Summary:
This project began with the opportunity to photograph Monte da Lapa, one of Álvaro Siza’s last projects in Porto. Its dual simplicity and complexity opened the creative doors to a universe where light, matter, and space dialogue with almost poetic precision. Using black and white was not only an aesthetic choice for photographer Pedro Cardigo but also a tribute to the timelessness of Siza’s work. It emphasises the purity of the forms, the contrast between light and shadow, and the texture of the materials. Featuring photographs of numerous works by Siza, this is both a celebration of the architect’s creative genius and an invitation to the viewer to see them through Cardigo’s eyes.

Summary:
This special double issue extensively features both built and unbuilt work by Álvaro Siza. The Portuguese architect has developed a large number of projects, and the relationship between the realised and the concept is central to this examination of his career. Being equally attentive to the architect’s built and unbuilt works allows a global understanding of the plurality of situations that are found in his oeuvre to emerge.

Summary:
Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza has been recognized internationally for his diverse projects that include public housing, public pools, universities, and museums. This publication presents 53 of his loose Indian ink, pen, and pencil drawings which are evocative sketches of people and moments captured during everyday life and travel — that “journey without a plan.” The result is a glimpse into the essence of the creative process when pen is touched to paper with no destination in mind.

Bernard Reichen plaide pour un urbanisme festif et la construction d'une culture de l'espace conçue comme la part visible d'un grand projet environnemental à l'échelle du territoire français. Alvaro Siza, Grand Prix spécial du jury, loin de théoriser, prend par la main le lecteur pour l'amener à découvrir l'évidence qui sous-tend chacun de ses projets, faisnat partager une manière contextuelle et poétique d'aborder l'urbanisme contemporain.

Summary:
Dans ces entretiens, réalisés entre 1977 et 2005 et réunis ici pour la première fois, Alvaro Siza commente ses projets essentiels. Tous n'ont pas été construits, mais tous comptent. Depuis les logements sociaux réalisés au lendemain de la Révolution du 25 Avril 1974 jusqu'à la Fondation Camargo au Brésil, inaugurée en 2008, chacun éclaire des points de recherche et de réflexion, à Lisbonne pour la réhabilitation du quartier du Chiado après l'incendie de 1988, à Montreuil avec le plan d'urbanisme du centre-ville, à Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle pour un musée, le premier... Ce livre relate ainsi une rencontre au long cours, commencée il y a une trentaine d'années et jamais interrompue. Deux regards s'y croisent et s'y complètent, celui de Dominique Machabert, écrivain et journaliste, et celui de Laurent Beaudouin, architecte. Mais au-delà des réalisations, Siza évoque dans ces entretiens des personnalités qui lui sont chères et livre ses réflexions sur son pays, le Portugal - autant d'opportunités d'en savoir un peu plus sur la pensée profonde d'un grand architecte contemporain.
