Álvaro Siza + Antónico Maduderira: House in Maia

After more than three and a half years of production and several thousand hours of work, one of the most comprehensive works ever published by House Details is born. This edition is entirely dedicated to an absolutely extraordinary project carried out by Álvaro Siza and António Madureira. Hundreds of scale technical drawings, worked with extreme detail — mostly details — many presented across double-page spreads over half a metre in length (scale 1:2), on: roof (including rooflights), external doors and windows, internal doors, internal and external walls, slabs, stairs, kitchen details, details of sanitary facilities, fireplace and indoor swimming pool, plans and details of furniture designed specifically for the house. Also included in this edition are plans, sections and elevations, freehand drawings, and construction records with selected photographs (from over 1,100 images). All drawings have been carefully optimised, with meticulous control of CAD objects (lines, polylines, layers, etc.), ensuring the best possible graphic representation for printing.
