Résumé

The Portuguese architect Alvaro Siza is one of the world's most respected architects. The recipient of many awards, including the coveted US Pritzker Prize for Architecture in 1992.

Siza has built and exhibited his projects internationally for over 40 years, and this extensive monograph looks at his early built work such as the Boa Nova Tea House, Portugal 1958-63, to more up-to-date projects like the Portuguese Pavilion at Expo '98 Lisbon.

This book charts his work over the last 40 years and includes built works, projects, writings, photographs, drawings and sketches. An introduction by Kenneth Frampton describes the works response to the environment, its functionality and stylistic identity coupled with Siza's own writings this makes for a very personal insight to twentieth-century architecture as a whole.
