As Ellis Woodman points out in his Introduction to this extensively illustrated discussion of the housing projects of Álvaro Siza and James Gowan, this publication frames an encounter between the work of two men who might be considered an unlikely pairing. However, both men were engaged in critical response to the tenets of the Athens Charter that they sought to resolve(...)

However, both men were engaged in critical response to the tenets of the Athens Charter that they sought to resolve in their low-cost housing experiments of the 1960s and 70s. The implications of the different social, political and economic contexts in which they enacted this difficult task makes the juxtaposition of their work a fascinating and fruitful process of discovery.

His most famous work is perhaps the Serralves Museum in his hometown of Porto, his second museum building, following the Galician Center for Contemporary Art, erected in 1997. Low built and horizontal in axis, its white stucco walls are perforated with(...)

Summary:
Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza (born 1933) is one of the most influential architects of the past half-century. His most famous work is perhaps the Serralves Museum in his hometown of Porto, his second museum building, following the Galician Center for Contemporary Art, erected in 1997. Low built and horizontal in axis, its white stucco walls are perforated with occasional openings that yield unexpected views of a surrounding garden. As with most of Siza's buildings, the furniture and fittings were also designed by the architect, including lighting fixtures, handrails, doorknobs and all signage. Building materials include hardwood floors and painted walls in gesso with marble skirting in the exhibition halls and marble floors in the foyers. This volume, published in Poligrafa's innovative Museum Building series, reviews the Serralves Museum, a disarmingly intimate space in pronounced contradistinction to much recent museum architecture.

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(...)

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.

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.
