The First Siza

Architecture on Stage

The First Siza is a documentary about the Four Houses in Matosinhos, the first built work of Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza, designed while he was still a student. 

60 years after their completion, this film centres on the reunion of the architect with Fernando Neto, his first client and the owner of one of these houses, revealing how this project became a turning point in Siza’s career and the ongoing impact of his architecture on people’s lives.

The Architecture Foundation, in association with the Barbican, presents Architecture on Stage – a programme of talks by the world's leading architects.
