Alvaro Siza Vieira ...by Himself by Félix Arranz Pdf

This is the seventh book in the scalae architecture + architects international ebook collection. Alvaro Siza Vieira illustrates and shares a magical voyage on which his path is crossed by the deepest of feelings, the fundamentals of his principles and ways of creating, and his experiences as a citizen, architect, and sculptor. As he wanders, he talks, smokes, sings, tells of his troubles, and protests about things that lack meaning, all the while sketching the slim silhouette of a woman who expresses the quiet pleasure of someone who has just raised her glass to toast another person whose own glass is also visible in Siza's delicate drawing. It is a voyage that spans the architect's life and memory, squeezed into a form of time that is simultaneously past, present, and future. In it, the master architect from Porto shows his affection for the people who, through their silence or their words, have been or still are somewhere on his horizon. People and architecture that throb in the hands of a tireless draughtsman, architect, and sculptor who, true to his Portuguese roots, is in love with the oceans of beauty and life.

Intelligence, Creativity and Fantasy by Mário S. Ming Kong,Maria do Rosário Monteiro,Maria João Pereira Neto Pdf

The texts presented in Proportion Harmonies and Identities (PHI) - INTELLIGENCE, CREATIVITY AND FANTASY were compiled with the intent to establish a multidisciplinary platform for the presentation, interaction and dissemination of research. The aim is also to foster the awareness and discussion on the topics of Harmony and Proportion with a focus on different visions relevant to Architecture, Arts and Humanities, Design, Engineering, Social and Natural Sciences, and their importance and benefits for the sense of both individual and community identity. The idea of modernity has been a significant motor for development since the Western Early Modern Age. Its theoretical and practical foundations have become the working tools of scientists, philosophers, and artists, who seek strategies and policies to accelerate the development process in different contexts.

Alvaro Siza Veira. (in) Discipline by Nuno Grande,Carles Muro Pdf

The essential survey on Pritzker Prize-winning architect Alvaro Siza's restless creativity, in 30 projects over the past 60 years Once, on the inner flap of one of his sketchbooks, Pritzker Prize-winning Portuguese architect and educator Alvaro Siza (born 1933) described himself and his work with self-deprecating disavowal. Rather than identifying his discipline as architecture, he identified it as "as little as possible." This confessional note is the point of departure for Alvaro Siza: (In)Discipline, a retrospective survey that highlights the currents of disquiet and insubordination within the renowned architect's creative method and production, surveying Siza's design process through a selection of 30 of his projects, built and unbuilt, spanning more than six decades. The publication starts with Siza's first works in Matonsinhos--the Four Dwellings in Matosinhos (1957), the Boa Nova Tea House (1963) and the Ocean Swimming Pool in Leça da Palmeira, Portugal (1973)--and includes recently completed work and projects under construction, including the Mimesis Museum in South Korea (2009), the Church in Saint-Jacques-de-la-Lande, France (2018) and the Residential Tower in New York (ongoing), his first project in the US.

Souto de Moura by Francesco Dal Co,Nuno Graça Moura Pdf

"I look beyond solution; I look for an expression."--Eduardo Souto de Moura The architect Eduardo Souto de Moura (b. 1952) has won many accolades, including the 2011 Pritzker Architecture Prize. Based in Porto, Souto de Moura studied under Fernando Távora and worked under fellow Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza, with whom he continues to collaborate. Souto de Moura established his own practice in 1980, and his wide-ranging influences, including Mies van der Rohe and Donald Judd, can be seen in the stunning variety of his work, from his acclaimed private houses, to the striking Paula Rego Museum in Cascais and the Braga Municipal Stadium, to his work in historical contexts such as the Convento das Bernardas in Tavira. This beautifully illustrated retrospective provides the most comprehensive account of Souto de Moura's career to date. Drawings, notes and sketches from his archive, and newly commissioned photographs complement essays by scholars and prominent architects that trace Souto de Moura's career, contextualize his work within the larger trends of contemporary international architectural culture, and highlight the originality of his design strategy.

Thinking, Drawing, Modelling by Vera Viana,Vítor Murtinho,João Pedro Xavier Pdf

This book presents a selection of papers from the International Conference Geometrias’17, which was hosted by the Department of Architecture at the University of Coimbra from 16 to 18 June 2017. The Geometrias conferences, organized by Aproged (the Portuguese Geometry and Drawing Teachers’ Association), foster debate and exchange on practical and theoretical research in mathematics, architecture, the arts, engineering, and related fields. Geometrias’17, with the leitmotif “Thinking, Drawing, Modelling”, brought together a group of recognized experts to discuss the importance of geometric literacy and the science of representation for the development of scientific and technological research and professional practices. The 12 peer-reviewed papers gathered here show how geometry, drawing, stereotomy, and the science of representation are still at the core of every act leading to the conception and materialization of form, and highlight their continuing relevance for scholars and professionals in the fields of architecture, engineering, and applied mathematics.
