ABOUT THE SHOW
This exhibition, organised by Ohm Design of New York, chooses five projects from Siza's architectural career - one for each decade. It is the first exhibition spanning the vast breadth of Siza's achievements to be held here in the Czech Republic, and will feature not only his technical drawings andsketches, but also examples of his furniture and utility design.
With many thanks to her excellency Ms Ana Martinho, the Portuguese ambassador in the Czech Republic, for her selfless support of this exhibition.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
The Portuguese architect Alvaro Siza (born 1933, lives in Porto) stands among the most significant architects of our era. His buildings and architectural projects base themselves on an exploration of the unity of space and matter, simultaneously displaying an extraordinary sensitivity for both the natural landscape as well as urban contexts.
