Welcome to the new exchange platform for the AE students of IE University

Here we will share our architectural drawings.

Images. Plans. Sections. Infographies. Models.

Art & Architecture.

And everything we love in Architecture.

Here you have Alvaro Siza.

For Alvaro Siza, drawing is as essential as oxygen. His sketches are not confined to the act of designing, but commence with his very first confrontation with the city for which he intends to build; they accompany each of his projects over many years - if not decades. The fundamental characteristics of his style that earned his architectural work the Pritzker Prize in 1992 are very much in evidence in his sketches. His sketches reveal how he arrives at solutions to each given architectural situation and how, through masterful intervention, he renders these situations exciting and unique. The architect himself has selected, from among his 365 sketch books, some of the drawings to be included  in a book called: "Alvaro Siza City Sketches"
