This issue features recent works by Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza Vieira. Active since the late 1960s, Álvaro Siza continues to build in different regions of the world, where each work of architecture reflects the consciousness of a place’s collective values. This sensitivity is evident in different scales and the materials used, such as the Clay Pavilion in Mexico, which recalls traditional construction techniques, and the renovation of Manor Dos Magalhães, which entirely avoids unnecessary changes to the facade of the ruin. In addition to sixteen recent works, architect and writer Nuno Grande highlights five of the most influential projects by the Álvaro Siza in his beloved city of Porto.
