Lo stadio, progettato e realizzato tra il 2000 e il 2003, rappresenta un'opera straordinaria che spinge in avanti, guardando significativamente agli archetipi fondamentali del recingere e del coprire, la ricerca architettonica contemporanea nel campo delle forme adeguate e appropriate, del ruolo espressivo della costruzione, del rapporto con i luoghi nella edificazione del paesaggio urbano. Il volume documenta e ordina materiali del progetto - schizzi, disegni esecutivi, modelli e foto dell'opera realizzata -, testi critici e un prezioso scritto del 2022 di Álvaro Siza Vieira, tradotto per la prima volta in italiano.

Quaderns 229 : borders

Price:

Summary:
Issue 229 of the magazine Quaderns explores the theme of the border in its literal sense -the border as a political and cultural separation between countries or geographical areas- but also as a place which gives rise to cultural crossovers alongside its function as separator. This issue looks firstly at the transformation of two formerly divided cities, Berlin and Beirut, which are currently undergoing processes of integration of what used to be opposing sectors and of recovery as city-centre spaces of the wastelands generated by division. Then it analyses the present-day situation in two border areas characterised by strong economic and cultural contrasts between the two sides of the dividing line: the border between the United States and Mexico, and the Strait of Gibraltar. The works of architects and artists who have recently worked in these places are taken as a starting point for debate about the strategies brought to bear in frontier territory by urbanism, art and architecture. The issue includes an introductory text by Saskia Sassen and features Mathias Sauerbruch on Berlin, Álvaro Siza on Ceuta, Rafael Moneo and Ousama Kabbani on Beirut, and Gloria Anzaldúa on the border between Mexico and the United States. It also presents a series of works actually carried out in these cities by Sauerbruch & Hutton, Álvaro Siza and Rafael Moneo, along with projects by Berger-Parkinnen, Kollhof & Kollhoff, Gustav Lange, OMA/Rem Koolhaas and Peter Zumthor, among others, and features a dossier with projects carried out in other countries by Catalan architects, including works by Miralles-Tagliabue, J. Ll. Mateo and Elías Torres. The theme is completed by an extensive photo reportage by Camilo José Vergara about the Mexican border.

Summary:
Seen through the eyes of an architect and photographer, The Architecture of Natural Light considers the many effects of natural illumination in contemporary buildings. This comprehensive survey begins with exploring the advances and experimentation of architects throughout the centuries. Each of the following chapters is devoted to a specific quality of natural light, including evanescence, atomization, and luminescence, and examines the particular uses of light through many disciplines—from art history to film and literature. With more than fifty case studies of buildings from around the world, this volume considers works by some of the world’s most influential architects, including Tadao Ando, Steven Holl, Herzog & de Meuron, Peter Zumthor, Frank Gehry, Álvaro Siza, Alberto Campo Baeza, Rafael Moneo, Rem Koolhaas, Jean Nouvel, Fumihiko Maki, and Toyo Ito, among others.

Summary:
This book brings together a selection of 20 works situated in Porto, Gaia and Matosinhos, which aims to propose new ways of interpreting an architecture produced with constructive and material affinities associated with Brutalism. The editorial and research project allowed the development of different levels of critical approach to the object of study. Álvaro Siza talked about Brutalism and certain questions that arose during the project. Ben Highmore visited some of the selected works and wrote an essay from a cultural perspective. Tiago Lopes Dias and Alexandra Areia wrote essays using 10 works selected in each century. Pedro Treno focused on each of the 20 works and wrote small critical framework texts. Francisco Ascensão and Luca Bosco presented a photo reportage on the 20 works, according to a sensibility arising from the Brutalist language.

Summary:
"I have a weakness for a touch of red" is a selection of essays on the art and architecture of Portugal by Yehuda Safran, who has been a professor at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at Columbia University and Pratt Institute, as well as the director of Potlach journal. Safran, who has previously written books on Adolf Loos, Mies van der Rohe, Anthony Gormley and Anish Kapoor, is not himself Portuguese; he writes here from the perspective of a traveler, enamored with the work of major architects Alvaro Siza and Eduardo Souto de Moura and artist Pedro Cabrita Reis, among others. In an interview with the Portuguese website Virose, Safran said of Siza: “there is always a Portuguese accent to it, but he is really addressing universal architectural issues. The great poet writes normally in his own language."

Summary:
The project conceived by this German artist, who is an admirer of depurated architectures, focuses on the architecture designed by Alvaro Siza to shelter the Faculty of Sciences of Communication. When installing his photographs at the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporanea, Forg stages a mirror-window interaction, which stretches the initial concept (Siza's faculty) to the exhibition rooms in the CGAC. The installation drags the visitor to vertigo by proposing a reflection on the plane and space, on our concepts of two-dimensionality and three-dimensionality, on the transposition of the spatial over the temporal.
