摘要

It's been exactly 50 years since Alvaro Joaquim Melo Siza Vieira founded his practice in Oporto, Portugal-an auspicious moment to consider anew his prolific career. More recently, Siza visited New York City to serve on the jury for the National Design Awards, to open an exhibition of his household objects, and to talk to Architecture about his design process, his new home-furnishings line, and the influence of the sun and the Atlantic Ocean on his buildings. Sketching and chain-smoking, the indefatigable, Pritzker Prize-winning maestro offered both queries and counsel.
