Product Description

Review

This book is so comprehensive in its illustrative material that an outsider with no previous awareness of Siza's oeuvre can make fair and balanced judgements on how the architect has evolved, which buildings work, and where he has become tired ... an exceptional book.' (Times Literary Supplement)

Review

..."clearly translated and competently translated."
-"Architectural Science Review
"The book offers real understanding, the design contex for projects is well covered, and in some cases with passion. I learnt and enjoyed."
-"Urban Design

A good book of the architect of the moment! 17 Mar 2001
By J. Moura - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Some people say Siza is the architect of the white! Probably, if whe can understand that the white colour of his facades is the consequence of his absolutly control of plans and forms. He is a genius! This book is a good way to show almost all works of Siza. For me there is only one book that is better than this one: "Alvaro Siza - the book, from ElCroquis".But anyway, buy this book if you want to understand the genius of Alvaro Siza.

Very Good Overview 30 Oct 2006
By D. Bank - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
If you want to get a fine overview of Siza's works, this book might be just fine. It inculdes a short presentation of all of his works, the major buildings are featured more extensively. There are plenty of Siza's beautiful sketches and abstract line drawings might clarify his projects sufficiently (how could the editor oversee that the faculty of Porto is mirrored?). It is remarkable that most of the photos do not present the the projects in the just finished state, but how they look like right now, making plain how gracefully Siza's buildings get older. I have to agree that Le Croquis might show his major buildings more in depth and documents far more Siza's own point of view with two long interviews, however this edition is for sure worth the money.
Not as good as ISBN: 8864130063 14 Nov 2011
By Eugene Tenenbaum - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Small size; not many pages and projects; very small and barely legible plans, sections, and elevations; good quality photos; well published on not glossy paper; very well bound; inferior to 120-page Alvaro Siza (Minimum, Essential Architecture Library), ISBN: 8864130063.
