Alvaro Siza Vieira

On 25 February 2018 Manuel Montenegro and Niall Hobhouse went to Porto to sit with Siza in his office as he looked through seven of his sketchbooks from 1977 to 1979: Cadernos 4, 8, 13, 34, 35, 40 and 41. This publication chronicles the conversation that unfolded over two-and-a-half hours as Siza spoke through the pages of his sketches, about SAAL Bouça Housing, Porto (1972-73, 1974-79, 2004-07), the Borges Bank, Vila do Conde (1978-86), and the Quinta da Malagueira, Évora (1977-97), among other projects.
