Summary:
When Álvaro Siza finished what is known as the Boa Nova Tea House in the early 1960s, it marked the beginning of his career. Set in a challenging topography, the building stands as a symbol of architecture’s identification with, and active interpretation of, the landscape. The composition of its low, volumetric expressiveness and surrounding rocks demands a respectful attentiveness, which until recently had been steadily deteriorating. Under the supervision of Siza, a full restoration of the building’s public spaces and a deeper intervention in its service areas has been undertaken. The book contains photographs, plans and original sketches by the architect.

Summary:
a+u’s October issue features the recent works of the highly acclaimed Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza Vieira. Active since the late 1960s, Alvaro Siza continues to build across different regions of the world, and each work of architecture reflects consciousness of the collective values of a place. This sensitivity is evident in different scales and material used, such as Clay Pavilion in Mexico, which recalls traditional construction techniques, and Renovation of the Manor Dos Magalhães, which sculpturally integrates new landscaped terraces with the critical function of the building, yet makes no unnecessary changes to the façade of the ruin. In addition to 16 recent works, architect and writer Nuno Grande composes a “poem to Porto,” which highlights 5 of the most influential projects by Alvaro Siza in his beloved city.

Summary:
Siza est à part. Indépendant, discret, il compte dans le monde de l'architecture parmi les plus grands et s'y est fait un nom à force de conviction profonde. Il parle à voix basse et porte sur les choses un regard pénétrant. De l'objet à la ville, son œuvre, saluée partout et largement commentée, atteint une sorte de grâce qui échappe aux théories. Et, à défaut(...)

Summary:
Siza est à part. Indépendant, discret, il compte dans le monde de l'architecture parmi les plus grands et s'y est fait un nom à force de conviction profonde. Il parle à voix basse et porte sur les choses un regard pénétrant. De l'objet à la ville, son œuvre, saluée partout et largement commentée, atteint une sorte de grâce qui échappe aux théories. Et, à défaut d'explications savantes, c'est par petites touches qu'on peut esquisser les contours du personnage, témoin de son époque et lucide devant les déséquilibres du monde. On dit qu'il dessine comme un ange, qu'il n'écrit pas sinon quelques textes épars, qu'il allume des cigarettes et oublie de les fumer, inséparable de ses cahiers noirs. Et de sa pratique de l'architecture, on n'a pas trouvé mieux que de dire qu'elle est poétique, et de lui qu'il est un poète.Que pouvaient alors soixante-cinq textes de lui à part ça? Rien. Sinon tenir dans une main tant de choses à la fois, une vie d'homme, d'artiste, architecte de surcroît - une place dans le monde à quoi rien ne correspond.
