Abstract

In 1984, Giovanni Chiaramonte photographed Álvaro Siza's building in Berlin, on whose façade some young people had written Bonjour Tristesse. The image was published on the cover of the magazine Lotus International. The following year, Siza and Chiaramonte met in Évora, on the occasion of a new series by the Italian photographer featuring the buildings of the great Portuguese architect. It marked the beginning of a long friendship and a shared reflection on architecture, photography, and urban life. The Measure of the West presents a selection of sixty drawings by Siza and forty photographs taken by Chiaramonte in cities around the world. They make up two parallel routes that lead to the discovery of the shape of the modern city – always hanging in the balance between proportion, in which civilization can develop, and disproportion, in which civilization can go astray. Although animated by different intentions, these sketches and photographs appear as coherent traces of the same design, guided by the same desire to see, discover, understand, and learn. The differences between the black and white strokes of the drawings and the colour of the photographs disappear. Short texts, including thoughts on architecture, photography, drawing, representation, and nature, enrich a "poem of change" taking place in an era of globalization.

Abstract

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. Beautifully photographed, with plans and original sketches by the architect.

Abstract

Ce double numéro spécial présente de manière approfondie les œuvres construites et non construites d'Álvaro Siza. L'architecte portugais a développé un grand nombre de projets, et la relation entre le réalisé et le concept est au cœur de cet examen de son parcours. Être également attentif aux œuvres construites et non bâties de l’architecte permet de faire émerger une compréhension globale de la pluralité des situations que l’on retrouve dans son œuvre. Le premier volume présente des œuvres achevées telles que le musée Nadir Afonso, le 611 West 56th Street à New York et le musée Mimesis, tandis que le deuxième volume, composé de nombreuses œuvres non construites, comprend des croquis, des dessins et des plans, ainsi qu'une analyse approfondie.

Abstract

The magazine profiles Alvaro Siza’s recent work in this special edition. Featuring projects since 2015, it underlines why the Portuguese architect remains one of the most respected designers today. A variety of typologies and scales are covered, from extremely compact works such as the Clay Pavilion for teaching local earthenware techniques in Oaxaca (Mexico), a chapel in Miljana (Croatia) as part of a farmhouse restoration project, and an observation tower with lookout post in the Portuguese mountains, to prominent works like the Huamao Museum of Art Education (China) and the Gramaxo Foundation Headquarters in Maia (Portugal), and many more.

Abstract

For their rigorous and loving determination, for the tireless and patient research, Siza's houses offer us an exemplary lesson of intellectual greatness. The houses shown here were designed and built over a period of time of fifty years, beginning with the four houses in Matosinhos and up to the present day, with the house in Majorca currently under construction. Such an array of houses constitues, for a single architect, an authentic field of research, where continuità allows a specific reflection and at the same time a more general one on the theme itself and on architecture. The subject of this book is the single-family house in the work of Alvaro Siza. This is a well-defined and very significant theme within the context of Siza's production, although it has never before been presented and studied in a systematic manner. The interest of this volume, then, is rooted in the clarity of the selection, limited only to single-family houses, in an attempt to fill what appears to us to be a gap.

Abstract

Dans ces entretiens, réalisés entre 1977 et 2005 et réunis ici pour la première fois, Alvaro Siza commente ses projets essentiels. Tous n'ont pas été construits, mais tous comptent. 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. p://www.techno-science.net/?onglet=ouvrages&ID=228119356X (14/06/2010)
