Winner of the 1992 Pritzker Prize for Architecture, the architect Alvaro Siza is recognized internationally for projects built during thirty years of practice in his native country of Portugal. A sensitive and cultural approach to 'regional architecture' has characterized his work and earned him a reputation outside his own country as one of the most interesting contemporary architects practising today. The author provides here an excellent overview of Siza's work.
