Wir sind dem großen Meister Álvaro Siza zutiefst dankbar für das außerordentliche Vertrauen in unser Architektenteam und dafür, dass er uns in diesem Prozess, der sich über mehr als drei Jahre erstreckte und mehrere tausend Arbeitsstunden umfasste, in so vielfältiger Weise so sehr bereichert hat. Ein Buch, das mit Opferbereitschaft sowie körperlicher und geistiger Erschöpfung geschaffen wurde.

Zwei Bände mit rund 700 Seiten, überwiegend mit konstruktiven Details von drei Einfamilienhäusern in unterschiedlichen Maßstäben. Format 23 cm × 29 cm, Hardcover.
👉Ein absolut einzigartiges Zeugnis über den Meister — die technische Referenz unter all seinen Veröffentlichungen. Ein Muss für alle, die sein Werk verfolgen. Sprache: English

✨House Details produziert die weltweit umfassendsten Veröffentlichungen über Wohnhäuser und ist der einzige Verlag, der ausschließlich aus Architekten besteht – alle mit mehr als 25 Jahren Erfahrung in der Gestaltung und Realisierung architektonischer Bauwerke.

💫Deshalb trägt sie seit ihrer Gründung den Original-Slogan: „by architects for architects“

Später wurde der Slogan „The publication for professional architects“ kreiert – ebenfalls original.

The publisher would like to thank everyone for the kindness with which he was received, both in Portugal and in Japan.

We are deeply grateful for the trust, the exclusive materials provided, and for the access to the full project in CAD. All members of House Details are architects with over 25 years of project experience.

This is an absolutely beautiful book, created with the utmost rigor, with fantastic exclusive content, about a work by master Kengo Kuma, that represents Portugal. Every possible question was asked, so that readers could properly evaluate the project. With generosity and patience, every question was answered (three interviews in total).

👍The mission of this book is to reveal the characteristics of a symbolic architectural work that represents Portugal, allowing readers to assess it with full awareness and understanding.

💫We are grateful for the opportunity to produce this book, as well as for the exclusive access we were granted to nearly 100% of the content. We sincerely thank all those involved, both in Portugal and in Japan, for the kindness and generosity with which we were always received.

💫Architect Andrea Toccolini, the project director, holds a Master’s degree in Architecture obtained in Portugal, where he began his professional career. He speaks perfect Portuguese and has a deep understanding of the country’s culture. Rita, a partner at Kengo Kuma and Associates, is Portuguese.

💫Architect Kengo Kuma, the author of the project, expresses in his written contribution—reproduced in the book—his deep respect for Portugal, conveyed through unusually strong and moving words. The interview he granted us was far from easy, and once again underscores the tribute he pays to our country, the respect he holds for it, and his clear intention to build bridges of friendship between Portugal and Japan.

👉For our part, we sought to ask the questions we believe readers—especially Portuguese readers—would most want to pose about the architectural project. Kengo Kuma responded to all of them with generosity and patience.The same spirit guided the interviews with the Project Director and the Partner at the studio. We applied the same principle in the selection of technical drawings and other content.

💫We hope you enjoy the result; we are truly grateful for this opportunity to document the project and for everything we have acknowledged in the Acknowledgements section in the book.

👍If you've recently come across words similar to those we usually write – listed below – please know that this is not a case of ill-intentioned copying. A publishing house, with Humility, asked us for permission to use literally some of the expressions we’ve been using for many years to express our gratitude to Siza. These expressions are now widely published in books, magazines and other content. We promptly said yes.👌

❤️❤️❤️Our original text:
“We send our congratulations to Master Siza Vieira, with our deepest gratitude and affection.We highlight (beyond the obvious and extremely rare professional attributes) the richness of his immense human qualities, which we have so often witnessed.We are immensely grateful and honoured by the enormous trust placed in the House Details team of architects, and for the many different ways in which he has enriched us.
A warm embrace to you, Architect, with special affection,Nuno Teixeira”❤️❤️❤️❤️

(Text used in 2022 and 2023 in our birthday tribute post, and also published many times in books, magazines, and other platforms.)
As for the expression "great generosity" in reference to Siza, it appears consistently in all acknowledgements texts, in every editorial of every book or magazine we have produced, and in over 100 videos we’ve created about the Master. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Many years ago, when we first started using these expressions, we were harshly criticised – people claimed we were simply trying to gain favour with the great Master.

O Mestre Souto de Moura, recentemente, disse ao microfone (não dizemos onde para não se pensar que é publicidade):
"O problema do Siza, é que é um homem superior e não tem mal nenhum dizer isto, há uma vocação para transformar o mundo (...) "

Enviamos os parabéns, agora por aqui, ao Mestre Siza Vieira, com a mais profunda gratidão e afecto.
Destacamos (além dos óbvios e raríssimos atributos profissionais) a riqueza das suas imensas qualidades humanas que tantas vezes testemunhámos.
Estamos imensamente agradecidos e reconhecidos, pela extrema confiança na equipa de arquitectos da House Details e por nos ter enriquecido tanto e de tão diferentes formas.

Um grande abraço para si arquitecto, com especial afecto e reconhecimento do

The Master Eduardo Souto de Moura recently said on the microphone: "The problem with Álvaro Siza is that he is a superior man and there is no harm in saying this, there is a vocation to transform the world (...) "

We send our congratulations, now on social media, to Master Siza Vieira, with the deepest gratitude and affection.
We highlight (in addition to the obvious and very rare professional attributes) the richness of his immense human qualities that we have witnessed so many times.
We are immensely grateful and recognized for the extreme trust in the House Details team of architects and for having enriched us so much and in so many different ways.

My deepest appreciation, architect Siza, with special affection.

👉A unique publication (English./Port.) about the Pritzker prize winning architect Eduardo Souto de Moura.

👉House Details produces the most complete publications ever made worldwide about houses.

👉Drawings on a 1/1 scale (first time about a Pritzker).

👉Hundreds of technical drawings (always to scale, not with "scale to fit or graphic scales), mostly details.

👉Includes large double-page details over half a meter in length, hand-made technical drawings (first built version of the house) as opposed to those of Autocad (built version of 2018)

👉Detailed photographs with graphic explanation given by the editor on the architect's methodology.

👉It is the first time that more than 95% of the drawings are published.

👉Like the previous issues, this magazine is the result of a complex, detailed and exhaustive work, due to the great concern that everything has to be understood by the reader.

👉Large format, 30cm x 30cm, among many others characteristics. After 12 months of a very deep work, we present an extensive and exhaustive document of analysis and comparison between the house built in 1989 and the refurbishment and expansion of 2018, designed by one of the Portuguese Pritzkers.

👉Architectural project at the level of detail. House Details 5 also includes selected drawings of the structures and exterior arrangements projects (Souto the Moura is also the co-author of this last one).

If you know someone who meets the conditions for applying, please pass on the content of this email to them.

° We cannot accept cases where, for example, people want the scholarship so that when they finish the course they can use the money "to travel" or "to rent a bigger house" (requests that have been made to us).

° Please send a detailed description of your situation to [email protected].

° A meeting will be arranged, either in person or by other means. Please don't apply by falsifying data, all of which is checked thoroughly, because for us the amount is very considerable.

° Documentation will only be requested after the meeting.

° ATTENTION: Please do not send anything to the above-mentioned email address after the application period, as it was created for this purpose only and will not be checked again. For any urgent matters, please contact us through the normal channels.
