Abstract

The architecture of Ricardo Gordon Bak embraces a particular sensibility, balancing fragility with robustness. Sited in the challenging Portuguese landscape, the architects buildings provide comfortable interiors that engage in direct dialogue with their expansive surrounds. Starting with the House in Pousos, Leiria and Two Houses in Casa Queimada, Tavira, this survey examines an additional 16 works and projects, finishing with the design for the Portuguese Pavilion for ExpoZaragoza, 2008. Generously illustrated, with colour photographs, models, plans, elevations and colour drawings this survey of works and drawings also includes an introductory essay along with a interview with the architect.

Abstract

For years Portugal has captured the attention of the international architecture scene, but has also proven to be a breeding ground for architects beyond the great masters such as Fernando Tavora, Alvaro Siza and Eduardo Souto de Moura. The famous Porto School has given way to a new generation of talented architects from other parts of the country, including the Aires Mateus brothers from Lisbon (2G 28, 2003) or the architect Paulo David from Madeira (2G 47, 2008). And from an even more recent generation comes another Lisboan, Ricardo Bak Gordon, who combines the best architecture of his own country with an awareness of what is happening abroad. His works range from a large number of single-family homes that put great emphasis on domestic comfort - for example, the houses in Quelfes and Pousos, the two houses in Casa Queimada, or the two in Santa Isabel, Lisbon - to the magnificent series of renovations of various schools in Lisbon and Porto, and unique projects such as the residence of the Portuguese Embassy in Brasilia, the mill in Oliveira da Serra (Ferreira do Alentejo), Albarquel Park (Setúbal) and the FACIM waterfront in Maputo (Mozambique). In this publication, Ricardo Bak Gordon s works and projects are accompanied by texts from the architect himself, the critic Ricardo Carvalho and Britain's Jonathan Sergison (of Sergison Bates architects, 2G 34, 2005). In the Nexus section, Diogo Seizas Lopez summarises an interview with Bak Gordon on the architect's main interests.

Abstract

For a long time, Portuguese contemporary architects represented our eyes a community even more than a tendency. This was partly due to their small numbers. Within this community, so strongly marked in the second half of the eighties, Ricardo Bak Gordonb studied and forged his first working relationships. Steadly opposed to the idea of self-referential architecture, ephemeral and gratuitous, in his architecture Bak Gordon celebrates the rituals of everyday life by assigning them adequate spaces and proportions. The house, as evidenced by his work, is the measure of things, the archetype wich returns incessantly, because the whole architecture is above all a living space.
