This is a very special compilation of almost all unbuilt works by Portuguese architect and architectural educator Álvaro Siza. It includes sketches, drawings, and plans, as well as in-depth analysis by José Manuel Pedreirinho, along two foreword essays, one of which likening his work to “a bird. Astonishing, inexplicable and yet incredibly familiar.“ The book reflects on projects whose ideas sometimes went into other projects, were reformulated in some way, or simply forgotten. Nevertheless, the scribbles and blueprints are essential to understanding how one of the most prolific contemporary architects thinks and works.
