Public Class Lecture at Faculty of Arts 2011

“The Relationship between Arts” was the title of the lecture by Álvaro Siza Vieira at the opening class of the Faculty of Arts of the university of Porto.

Thoughts on his Style

I would like to start my discussion of the Portuguese architect Alvaro Siza’s work by first considering some texts frequently cited in discussions of his projects: one by Siza himself, one by his mentor Fernando Tavora

Thoughts on Álvaro Siza Vieira

Álvaro Siza Vieira is the greatest living Portuguese architect -perhaps the finest the country has ever produced- whose works over the years have proven to be amongst the most coherent and complete of all architectural works this century.

Philosophy, Theory and Practice

The work of Álvaro Siza Vieira is a paradigmatic example of a reciprocal relationship between the place and the global, probably the crucial subject for the disciplines related with the production of the space since the late sixties.

Alvaro Siza Vieira Resumed

Alvaro Siza (born 1933) is considered Portugal’s greatest living architect and possibly the best that country has ever produced.

by The New York Times

It’s unlikely that the Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza will ever enjoy the fame of, say, a Rem Koolhaas or a Frank Gehry…

by the Hyatt Foundation

“Every design,” says Siza, “is a rigorous attempt at capturing a concrete moment of a transitory image in all its nuances.
