	Alvaro Siza
		Siza, whose full name is Alvaro Joaquim de Meio Siza Vieira, was born on June 25, 1933 in the small coastal town of Matosinhos in the mountainous north of Portugal, a country where it is said that every summit has the Atlantic Ocean as the horizon.
		The architecture of Alvaro Siza is a joy to the senses and uplifts the spirit.
		Siza is a teacher, not only at the university where he obtained his education, but also as a guest lecturer throughout the world, fanning the intense interest his designs generate, particularly in the younger generation.

		This did/does/will include news on Siza's breath-taking contribution to EXPO '98 (the Portuguese Pavilion), new developments in the Chiado area of Lisbon, and recent international awards in recognition of Portugal's most celebrated architect.
		And in Siza it is conceived as being rooted in expressionism.
		This precision of scale is contributed to by the subtle understanding of the surroundings, and the recent project for the Faculty of Architecture in Oporto, in which he rejects a large-scale solution, is a fine example of this.

	Landscape's architect - Portuguese architect Alvaro Siza ArtForum - Find Articles
		Winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1991, sixty-four-year-old Alvaro Siza, Portugal's most renowned contemporary architect, is known for his geometric deformations, his controlled composition of interiors, and his fascination with the everyday architectural forms of the modern urban landscape.
		Siza's first work, Quatro Casas em Matosinhos (Four houses in Matosinhos, 1954-57), in the north of Portugal, already embodied the stripped-down structures that were to serve as the foundation of his oeuvre.
		Many have read this project, Siza's first to be built abroad, as the embodiment of the "contextual" qualities of his architecture, seeing proof of Siza's trademark sensitivity to his surroundings in the rhythms of the windows, in the apartment block's evocation of the street's curve, and in the slit between the new and old buildings.

His inspired understanding of spatial relationships, considerations of scale, sensitivity to material and texture and use of light as an expressive and active element transforms the natural and built landscape with depth and originality.
		One of Siza's masterpieces is undeniably the Santa Maria Church in Marco de Canavezes, a space where he assigns a sacred dimension, as it were, to the light.

		In working with the pre-existing built environment, Siza seeks to integrate past and present, “not from a removal of historical references, but from an attempt at creating a synthesis.” The resulting buildings are modern yet appropriate, natural additions in harmony with their neighboring structures.
		Siza’s commitment to the buildings he creates extends to the furnishings and fixtures—door and window handles, light fixtures, stair railings, even ashtrays—that he designs and fabricates wherever the situation will permit.
		Siza has the highest honors in his profession, including the Prince of Wales Prize in Urban Design from Harvard University (1988), the European Award of Architecture by the European Economic Community/Mies van der Rohe Foundation (1988) and the Pritzker Prize (1992).

	As cidades de Alvaro Siza
		A great architect and his relationship with the subject of the city: this is the theme of the retrospective, the biggest ever held in the architect's native land, with which Oporto pays homage to Alvaro Siza Vieira, head of the minimalist school of modern architecture which has made an indelible mark on contemporary architecture.
		A master experienced in projects of all scales, from design to urban planning, revitalisation and interior design, Siza approaches the city by returning to its relationship with context, which determines, for instance, the use of materials, without allowing adhesion to the genius loci penalise his limpid modern conception of space.
		Siza himself said that: "What I appreciate most and see first in architecture is clarity.

	Ceramic Tiles of Italy - Architecture between nature and artifice
		Alvaro Siza's works are linked to rationalism by a subtle thread, that of social value and the democratisation of architecture.
		At this exhibition of four projects presented by Siza himself, we can gain an appreciation of the architect's profound respect for geographical location, which he implements with concrete constructions free of excessive abstractions or flights of fancy, and in which we can recognise a deep love of materials, including ceramic.
		The meeting with Alvaro Siza, one of the great masters of world architecture, further underlines the role of Markitecture and Cersaie as key appointments with the world of design and building.

		Casa Vieira de Castro, by Alvaro Siza Arquitecto, is at the southwestern end of a terrace built halfway up the precipitous slope of a hill.
		For Siza the house is a repository of personal and regional identity, and bastion against the forces that try to render the world more uniform and impersonal.(1) Though couched in abstract form, the architecture of this house, like Siza's other works, acknowledges tradition.
		Siza is in the process of designing the furniture throughout the house.

	Appendx 3 - Alvaro Siza : by Robert Levitt (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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, and another, a poem, by Portugal's most celebrated poet from the first half of the twentieth century, Fernando Pessoa.
		Alvaro Siza's and Fernando Tavora's statements suggest that something analogous has occurred in architecture.
		When Siza begins to practice in the late 1950s and early 1960s, many of these characteristics will have an effect on the strategies he adopts.

		The passage which he designed leading to the Grimshaw building features a high arched structure from which a roof descends when it rains, so that the view of the Fire Station is unobstructed.
