Avieiros, hoje
Nos séculos XIX e XX, o mar revolto obrigou centenas de famílias de pescadores da Praia da Vieira (Leiria) a procurar uma alternativa à pesca de arrasto tradicional da costa, impossível de praticar com segurança durante o inverno. Encontraram-na na pesca fluvial no rio Tejo e assim iniciaram um dos movimentos migratórios internos mais marcantes em Portugal: primeiro de modo pendular (inverno no rio, verão no mar) e depois fixando-se em definitivo no Ribatejo. Esta fusão deu origem a uma cultura ribeirinha com características próprias (barcos, casas, gastronomia e religião), mas muito marginalizada, sobre a qual o neorrealista Alves Redol escreveu em 1942. Hoje, ainda subsistem alguns vestígios desta vivência nas margens do Tejo e na Praia da Vieira. Este livro vai em busca deles, antes que desapareceram.

Imagining the evident
The referential book by Álvaro Siza on his own work, in its first English edition. Describing some of his projects, his expectations and struggles, references and decisions, this book is a fundamental contribution to the understanding of Álvaro Siza’s architectural thinking. The text is accompanied by an extensive set of drawings from his notebooks, an obstinate presence in Siza’s particular way of working, some of which never published before. A personal and fundamental testimony of one of the most celebrated living architects, covering the full range of design – from architecture to city planning, furniture and objects – in a must-read book for all interested in Art and Architecture. “potent not only for understanding Siza’s practice over many decades, but for undertaking architectural design or architectural criticism and history today.” — Barry Bergdoll
