Summary:
LB 38 features Siza's Fundação Gramaxo. Situated in Maia, Portugal, the Gramaxo Foundation stands as a refined example of cultural architecture. Conceived as a single-story structure, the building balances modern clarity with deep respect for its historical setting. Designed to house the Gramaxo family’s artistic heritage, it offers generous exhibition spaces, a multipurpose auditorium, and service areas articulated through an understated, distinctly Portuguese aesthetic. Positioned parallel to a historic granite tank and a tree-lined avenue, the foundation preserves the site’s topography and greenery, enhancing both access and environmental continuity. More than a museum, Siza conceived the building as a large house—an intelligent, sensitive response that seamlessly weaves the new into what already existed. The volume features drawings by Siza and essays by the architect and Maria Souto de Moura.

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.
