Even. Alvaro Siza. Santa Maria Church Marco de Canavezes, Portugal


Picture by Duccio Malagamba.

"The Santa Maria church's layout interacts with
the light that baths the curved forms of the apse
and the overall space of the church. The natural
lighting varies over time depending on the position
of the sun, from the projection of a single shaft of
light to the silence of dispersal" Alvaro Siza



"One of Siza's masterpieces is undeniably the church in
Marco de Canavezes, a space where he assigns a sacred
dimension, as it were, to the light". Marc Dubois
