Álvaro Siza (born 1933) has redefined Portuguese modernism with his subtle, poetic approach to architecture that seamlessly integrates with its surroundings. His most celebrated works include the Boa Nova Tea House, the Church of Santa Maria, and the Iberê Camargo Foundation in Brazil. Siza’s architecture is marked by clean lines, sculptural fluidity, and a deep sensitivity to light and materiality. Awarded the Pritzker Prize (1992), his work embodies an elegant yet pragmatic approach that harmonizes tradition with contemporary design. Through his designs, Siza continues to inspire architects seeking a timeless, context-driven approach to modern architecture.
