BASILICO CITYSCAPES

Álvaro Siza

Individual Artists

Thames&Hudson

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 IberÃª 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.

Widely recognized as the father of Scandinavian modern design, Alvar Aalto's repertoire includes a sizeable number of houses of which ten have been selected for this classic and elegantly designed publication. The Villa Mairea, Aalto House &amp; Studio and the Aalto Summer House are all included, along with Maison Carr a little known and somewhat mysterious work from his later period, and smaller houses from his earlier years. All buildings are beautifully photographed in full colour and accompanied by images from the surrounding Finnish landscape. Houses are presented alongside plans and sketches and described through historical and descriptive texts.

Casa da Arquitectura

The referential book by Álvaro Siza on his own work, for the first time in English. Describing some of his projects, his expectations and struggles, references and decisions, this book is a fundamental contribution to the understanding of Álvaro Siza’s architectural thinking. The text is accompanied by an extensive set of drawings from his notebooks, an obstinate presence in Siza’s particular way of working, some of which never published before. A personal and fundamental testimony of one of the most celebrated living architects, covering the full range of design – from architecture to city planning, furniture and objects – in a must-read book for all interested in Art and Architecture.
