Limites e Passagens. Uma interpretação de duas obras de Álvaro Siza. As Piscinas das Marés e a Casa do Pego

Abstract

ARCHITECTURE HAPPENS IN TRANSITION. Materials transition, plans transition, spaces transition. Transition is the moment when the change of circumstances is perceived, and its physical expression has always been a differentiation field in architectural production. So, the devices for passage - window, door or transition space - assume themselves as key-elements in production, analysis and interpretation of the architectural work, since they not only report the spirit of time, the historical and technological milieu, but also the social and cultural relations. Towards an analysis and interpretation of passage in the framework of the discipline of architecture, it is necessary to establish an interdisciplinary knowledge network, crossing, confronting and exploring the definitions of the concepts 'passage', 'limit' and 'limit-space'.
