Published on the occasion of the exhibition Álvaro Siza in/discipline, that will be inaugurated in September 2019 at the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, this book will bring a large selection of Siza’s drawings, sketches and personal annotations produced during the conception, construction or completion of the 30 projects featured in the exhibition together with the input from several contributors — including architects, curators, critics and photographers —, who wrote about Siza’s architecture, portrayed his work, or found personal references in it.
The publications includes three newly-commissioned essays and statements by major figures of the contemporary architecture scene, as well as twenty images of Siza’s buildings by acknowledged photographers and originally published in some of the most important publishers and magazines in the field.
