The portuguese architect Alvaro Siza has developed an ouvre based on the absence of method, theory or discourse. His buildings are a direct result of the circumstances of his particular process, so it is impossible to find two of a kind. It is very difficult to speak about the architecture of the portuguese master in absolute terms. This is what makes it really interesting to make a comparison between some of the many buildings he has designed, and in this text I will center on two works with one thing in common, their religious character.
