Having a Cigarette with Álvaro Siza

Narrated by Siza himself – in conversation with both the camera and Souta de Moura over multiple cigarettes, Iain Dilthey takes us on a tour of Siza’s work, listening and lingering as Siza reflects upon architecture as an agent of time, memory, beauty and responsibilty. An intimate insight into the practice of one of the world’s leading architects, the film’s simultaneously formal and open approach mirrors the balance between stature and humility within the architect’s own work.
