5.0 out of 5 stars
Concise survey of 50 major works, 300 illustrations,
By
This review is from: Alvaro Siza (Studio Paperback) (German and English Edition) (Paperback)
This is a concise and copiously illustrated paperback survey on only 208 pages of all major buildings and projects from 1958 to 1994 published under ISBN: 3764355980 by Birkhäuser (Basel...) and ISBN: 0817955980 by Birkhäuser (Boston) in English and German side by side. Following 7 pages with analysis of the architect's style, each of the presented 50 works is headed by a description from as little as just a few lines to over a page long followed by illustrations from one to several depending on the work's scope. All of 300 only B&W (some multi-picture) illustrations - many of them technical (plans, sections, sketches, elevations, etc.), but also B&W photos of a good quality - are well balanced, superbly crisp and perfectly legible. On several pages at the end, there are: a biography, selected bibliography, list of works, etc. Like all from the Studio Paperback series, this book is solid among architectural monographs even of a bigger size. Similar to smaller books from the Works and Projects series published by Gustavo Gili (GG) in English and Spanish.
