Alvaro Siza: Viagem Sem
Programa
Interview and Portraits
Greta Ruffino & Raul Betti
Viagem sem Programa is Portuguese and means “travel
without a schedule”.
This publication grew out of the meeting with Alvaro
Siza, the Portuguese architect among the best known in
the world. It accompanies an exhibition dedicated to the
architect and focusing on the most intimate side of the
Lusitanian master, through the connection between the
job of the architect and a deeply personal view on life.
The book includes fifty-three outstanding drawings and
portraits (printed on a special ecological paper by Favini)
drawn from a career of over sixty years, and the full text
of the interview, conducted by Greta Ruffino and Raul
Betti, in August 2011 in Siza’s studio. This is an opportunity
to discover, in the architect’s own words, the profound
relationship that Siza has always had for the pleasure
of drawing, the beginnings of his award-winning career,
the significant encounters in his life, the most important
friendships, and some surprising new projects.
