Alvaro Siza honoured in Venice

摘要

Alvaro Siza Vieira has been chosen to be the recipient of the Golden Lion for lifetime achievement of the 13th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice. The Ceremony will take place on August 29th, 2012 - Ham at the Giardini of la Biennale. The decision is made by the Board of the Biennale, chaired by Paolo Baratta, under Director David Chipper-field's proposal: "While his work exudes the security of judgment, it is clearly intensified through cautious reflection. While we are dazzled by the lightness of his buildings, we feel the seriousness of their substance."
