17th October - 19th December 2020, Monday - Saturday, 14h00-18h00, Casa-Atelier Marques da Silva
In a partnership between FAUP and Fundação Marques da Silva, exhibition 'Siza: Unseen and Unknown', curated by architect António Choupina together with Dr. h. c. Kristin Feireiss, is presented for the first time in Portugal, after being in display in 2019 at the Tchoban Foundation - Museum for Architectural Drawing in Berlin.
'Siza: Unseen and Unknown' showcases this continuity through 100 sketches, as well as its unavoidable contradictions. These drawings are from his most personal archive, in addition to small collections of close friends and family. Hence, they focus not only on the professional legacy but also on the familial one, where Maria Antónia Siza (1940-1973) takes centre stage. His wife will draw him, he will draw her and the loving embrace of the human body will be transversal to architecture, art, life.
