This richly illustrated book examines the houses
designed by Alvaro Siza, one of the masters of contemporary
architecture. The 28 villas represent an important aspect of Siza's
career, where his distinctive ideas on home design translate into a
wider conversation on living today and modern architecture. Each
construction is narrated by Alvaro Siza through his short poetic
writings, a technical description, and a series of sketches. Also
included are accounts written by Siza's clients, which bear witness
to the complex dialogue behind the design of each house. The volume
also features two visual essays based on a selection of drawings by
Siza and impeccable photographs of his work. Alvaro Siza is one of
today's greatest living architects and the father of the new
architectural minimalism. This book will be a must for the
bookshelf of architects and students.
