Álvaro Siza: Museu Serralves Porto
Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza (1992 Pritzker Prize) is one of the most influential architects of the last five decades. His architecture is strongly rooted in the Modern Movement, but incorporates a subjective approach to concept and design, seeking alternative interpretations of Modernism. The Serralves Museum in Porto (Portugal), one of his major works, was the second in a series the architect started with the Galician Center for Contemporary Art and was followed by projects in Italy, Brazil, and Belgium. Unlike much recent museum architecture and the “white box” syndrome, Siza’s exhibition spaces are disarmingly intimate on every level.There is an unmediated recognition of the essence of art as individuation. The balance between individuation and collective experience, or the quality of architecture in counterbalance to the atmosphere of intangible light that Siza creates with its gradations and textures, is perishable and enigmatic. In Serralves, as in other museum buildings designed by Siza, the ordering of light, movement, and space has the quasi autonomy of the creatural.

Bernd & Hilla Becher
For more than five decades, Bernd (1931–2007) and Hilla (1934–2015) Becher collaborated on photographs of industrial architecture in Germany, France, Belgium, Holland, Great Britain, and the United States. This sweeping monograph features the Bechers’ quintessential pictures, which present water towers, gas tanks, blast furnaces, and more as sculptural objects. Beyond the Bechers’ iconic Typologies, the book includes Bernd’s early drawings, Hilla’s independent photographs, and excerpts from their notes, sketchbooks, and journals. The book’s authors offer new insights into the development of the artists’ process, their work’s conceptual underpinnings, the photographers’ relationship to deindustrialization, and the artists’ legacy. An essay by award-winning cultural historian Lucy Sante and an interview with Max Becher, the artists’ son, make this volume an unrivaled look into the Bechers’ art alongside their career, life, and subjects.
Alvaro Siza Veira. (in) Discipline
The essential survey on Pritzker Prize-winning architect Alvaro Siza's restless creativity, in 30 projects over the past 60 years Once, on the inner flap of one of his sketchbooks, Pritzker Prize-winning Portuguese architect and educator Alvaro Siza (born 1933) described himself and his work with self-deprecating disavowal. Rather than identifying his discipline as architecture, he identified it as "as little as possible." This confessional note is the point of departure for Alvaro Siza: (In)Discipline, a retrospective survey that highlights the currents of disquiet and insubordination within the renowned architect's creative method and production, surveying Siza's design process through a s...
