Summary:
'Siza' is the official catalogue of the Gulbenkian Foundation’s 2024 exhibition celebrating one of architecture’s greatest living figures. Curated by Carlos Quintáns, it presents ninety of Álvaro Siza’s projects - organised around thirty verbs that define his approach - alongside original archival material, sketches, and photographs by Juan Rodríguez. Essays by nine leading architects and eight rare texts by Siza himself offer fresh insights into his work, while exhibition views capture the spirit of the show. Richly illustrated and thoughtfully edited, this book is both a tribute and an essential study of Siza’s enduring influence.

Summary:
In response to the theme of the 2016 Venice Biennial, Portugal presented a site-specific pavilion occupying an urban front in the midst of physical and social regeneration on Giudecca, an archipelago just south of Venice. The pavilion exhibited four works by Pritzger Prize winner Álvaro Siza (born 1933) on the theme of social housing Campo di Marte (Venice), Schilderswijk (The Hague), Schlesisches Tor (Berlin) and Bairro da Bouça (Porto) revealing his collaborative experience with the local inhabitants and unique understanding of the European city and citizenship. These projects resulted in the creation of neighborhood spaces aimed at a more tolerant, multicultural society, a subject important to the current European political agenda. This book unveils the curatorial process and the display of these works in Venice. Included are images of Siza’s recent visits to the neighborhoods, plus a presentation of the changes triggered by immigration, ghettoization, gentrification and “touristification.”
