AB  - Climate change was highlighted in
the 2021 revision of the Operational
Guidelines (UNESCO 2021) and must be
addressed in the property management
plans of the World Heritage List (WHL)
properties. Incorporating climate action
considerations is now a requirement in
the nomination process (Operational
Guidelines 118 and 4.b (ii)).
Considering the current nomination of
Álvaro Siza’s works for the WHL, our aim
is to identify coastal, and riverbank works
facing the impact of climate change, a
preliminary survey for risk prevention.
Rising sea levels and stronger storms in
coastal areas cause serious flooding and
erosion, jeopardizing built and natural
elements. Furthermore, Siza’s architectural
work, first and foremost, relates to its
geographical and landscape context.
The substantial number of Siza’s works
identified in the proximity of masses of
water (oceans, seas, rivers and lakes)
is notable. Using the SizaAtlas georeferenced
inventory, we could file
the works located in proximity to the
water. Risks caused by flooding and also
exposure to humidity, wind, erosion and
salinity in coastal areas were assessed.
Out of 168 inventoried works (101
nationally and 67 abroad) 45 are located
close to the water. Of these, 22 are on
coastlines (11 in Portugal, 11 abroad), while
19 are set along riverbanks (9 in Portugal,
10 abroad). Four of the works abroad are
facing lakes. The geographical distribution
of these works is remarkable: 20 are
in Portugal, while 25 are spread across
the world, reflecting the international
influence of Siza’s architecture.
