Siza is the son of the Pritzker Prize winner, the architect Alvaro Siza.
Architecture is necessary to make a client, a promoter. When I realized at some point in my career that my path would have to fill that role as well, did not hesitate.
It takes courage.
Through a rigorous geometric abstraction to enable the construction system, built by partners in different angles pills that give greater three-dimensionality, the ratio I found that I wanted, I wanted the horizontal, the default orientation, direction and specific objective.
The symbolism of the sublime figure of the oppression of a system.
Siza for 12 years assembling the site, house design and construction.
The long, narrow, level, straight floor is covered by a shell oversailing, white faces.
The pictures are from Fernando and Sergio Guerra.
I reconcile goals, interests, goals, an ideal haunts me and I got a dream.
I also need to be, in this work of director, supervisor, project coordinator and, in a direct management organization.
I started this work in 2004 and finished in early 2005. Construction begins in February 2006 and was completed in July 2010.
The proposed house and workshop staff is the first where it is touching the figures in your own environment, highlighting the pieces, the figures derived from the story, compared to the sensitivity, recreating reality individually, without the prior intention defined.
Appear in the middle of the delivery believe beyond what we need (specific program and functional), sublimation genuine communication underlying the creative process.
When modernity is old, a pass appears in the most eloquent expression and distant.
The assertion of a new Romanticism, a classical revival came directly from the sources, with the internal charge is no less important.
The house and laboratory of dreams that represent units, ideas, tensions and the force behind the matter.
The stories and emotions that encapsulate the symbolism they represent. The figures and human relationships.
In this project, born from a harlequin free drawings - laughing at the problems, tensions, conflicts, discrepancies, among other dramas surrounding this activity - that is transformed into a geometric abstraction, where no place for or eyeglasses frames, test the claim of a new classicism.
Transitional spaces, porches, lamps, light, doorknobs, doors, balustrades, including some paintings and furniture was designed by me, but other nineteenth century (timeless pieces) coming from my family that fit the environment to perfection, regardless of other elements, creating environments supplement extolling Mozart, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and surrounded by a lot of extraordinary works of art, not limited to the atmosphere of pure architectural imagination.
The conclusion of this ideal was made possible by a personal characteristic of the obstinate stubbornness and not less expressive of dissatisfaction.
It started 12 years ago, with an acquisition of a lot that do not have access to the street and so much more economically favorable.
In the next 6 years I have tried to find a connection that would make this possible.
I Was Forced to buy Another lot next to this one to make the business feasible, That I Sold with Approved project personnel.
In This Way, I capitalized, investing all the money In This Business.
NECESSARY DURING the operation of regrouping of the lands, the project Appears, result of one Discourse of paradoxical intentions.
Home / Atelier; area Interior / Exterior area; area Social / Cultural area; Private / Public, Leisure / work.
Their Volumetry Organized by vertical and horizontal Themselves sections.
One by one atelier Programme Facing built to the street, garages and service areas Working with a hinge and finally the House related with the garden.
One of underground storey corresponds to the foundations, Another ground storey in granite, Corresponding to the public and social areas, and Even the top storey.
In one hand if, the ground floor Them Expressed inside to outside of self, of the intimacy to the exterior in an explosive manifesting, Creating the NECESSARY openings, and the porticos of the respective transition of natural light skylights, for other hand, the upper storey implode.
The aggression of exterior create symbolic Tensions, pressure That Recognize Themselves of outside to inside, Reducing Their Volumetry, giving rise to one figurative image.
