Ãlvaro Siza (English and Japanese Edition)

The buildings of this master architect are, as Ryue Nishizawa observes in his short essay, infused with contemporary atmosphere, have a good continuity with their regional environment and climate, and have a brightness and clarity akin to a sculpture of light. This classic Japanese production examines14 works and projects, including the Iberê Camargo Museum, the Galician Centre for Contemporary Art, and the SAAL Social Housing project, which exemplify the architects approach. Including an interview with Siza, the book is extensively documented with photographs, drawings and plans.
