The publication of architecture professionals
From architects to architects.
After more than three and a half years of production and several thousand hours of work, one of the most complete works ever published by House Details is born. This edition is entirely dedicated to an absolutely extraordinary project carried out by:
- Álvaro Siza – Pritzker Prize and Master recognised worldwide
António Madureira – Co-author of the Maia house and principal collaborator of Siza between 1965 and 1971
Once again, we deeply thank the immense generosity, kindness and trust of these two great names of architecture for - similarly to what happened with the book "Álvaro Siza in detail" - making available the complete project in CAD - DWG files - (including process drawings that bear witness to the evolution of the ideas - also in CAD) for this publication, allowing unprecedented documentation.

All drawings were carefully optimised, meticulously controlling CAD objects (lines, polylines, layers, others), ensuring the best possible graphic representation for printing.

A story told with rigour and depth
The publication was planned to tell the "story" of the house, revealing the Art of the project with extensive, strategic and deeply worked chapters. From the general conception to the details of furniture, each part is treated with the utmost attention and respect for the work of the designers.
House Details is, once again, faithful to its commitment to extreme quality and to its obsessive concern with the technical and didactic representation of built architecture.
