| | Appendx 3 - Alvaro Siza : by Robert Levitt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) |
 | | Tavora rejects what he calls "style," which is really expression that no longer seems properly linked to its content—expression that seems superfluous to meaning, mere flourishes. |
 | | Their roots within entirely different urban, climatic, technological, material, and social circumstances, and the contrasting uniformity of many towns and countrysides of Portugal, made these new buildings appear quite bizarre. |
 | | Architects, led initially by Keil Amaral and later including Tavora, sought in the traditional vernacular a model of architecture to which they could look as a remedy. |
