AB  - The title ‘SizaAtlas: Filling the Gaps for
World Heritage’ reflects the project’s
objectives: to create an Atlas of Álvaro
Siza’s works and to fill gaps in the World
Heritage. It is inspired by the document
‘The World Heritage List: Filling the
Gaps: An Action Plan for The Future’
(ICOMOS 2005), which supports the World
Heritage Committee’s Global Strategy,
that encourages State Parties to submit
twentieth-century heritage nominations,
to diversify the World Heritage List
(UNESCO 1994).
In response to this request, ICOMOS
Portugal proposed a set of eighteen
architectural works by Álvaro Siza for
the World Heritage Tentative List, which
was approved by UNESCO in 2017.
ICOMOS Portugal continued promoting
the initiative and closely followed the
preparation and submission of the final
dossier for the World Heritage List
nomination.
In 2018, Álvaro Siza’s works started being
studied in the academic context of two
curricular units of the Integrated Master
of Architecture at ISCTE: ‘Construction
Systems’ and ‘Conservation and
Rehabilitation of Buildings’. With the
collaboration of DGPC — Direcção Geral
do Património Cultural (Directorate-
General for Cultural Heritage) we
developed inventory sheets of Siza’s
works, using the same methodology and
criteria established in the Architectural
Heritage Inventory System, SIPA (IHRU,
IGESPAR, 2010).
The inventory was the first step to deepen
our knowledge and the best way to clarify
the extent, internationalisation and
diversity of Álvaro Siza’s architectural
works.
In 2019, the project’s three partnered
organisations — ISCTE, FAUP and UPT —
submitted the SizaAtlas proposal to the
call for projects for ‘Scientific Research
and Technological Development in the
Field of Álvaro Siza’s Architecture – 2019’,
with the aim of developing what was
already at an embryonic stage. At the time,
75 Portuguese works were inventoried.
As the project was only approved in
2021 by FCT, the two-year delay ended
up altering the work plan. Instead of
preceding the application for the World
Heritage List coordinated by FAUP, both
ran in parallel, which benefited both.
