Consid\u00e9r\u00e9e comme l’un des monuments majeurs de l’architecture romane, l’abbaye du Thoronet, fond\u00e9e en 1146 au coeur de la for\u00eat m\u00e9diterran\u00e9enne, t\u00e9moigne de ce qu’\u00e9tait au Moyen \u00c2ge la retraite des moines au \u00ab?d\u00e9sert?\u00bb et de ce que fut la volont\u00e9 des r\u00e9formateurs cisterciens de se conformer strictement \u00e0 la vie monastique.
\nPar sa sobri\u00e9t\u00e9 et son aust\u00e9rit\u00e9, elle est exemplaire pour des g\u00e9n\u00e9rations d’architectes modernes et contemporains orient\u00e9s par la simplicit\u00e9 et\/ou le minimalisme : Le Corbusier, Fernand? Pouillon, John Pawson…<\/p>\n
Invit\u00e9 \u00e0 pr\u00e9senter sur place son travail, la proposition d’\u00c1lvaro Siza a consist\u00e9 en un parcours, un itin\u00e9raire, celui qu’empruntaient les moines du xiie si\u00e8cle. Son envergure internationale et les multiples sollicitations dont il fait l’objet n’emp\u00eache pas l’architecte de Porto d’\u00eatre l’un des plus discrets. Outre la dimension plastique de ses oeuvres toujours salu\u00e9e, l’enthousiasme qu’il suscite provient encore de la part que prennent les \u00ab?petites choses?\u00bb dans le processus de?la?cr\u00e9ation. C’est aussi parce qu’elle r\u00e9sulte paradoxalement de constats simples que son oeuvre reste complexe et impr\u00e9visible. Il est un des rares cr\u00e9ateurs susceptibles de? r\u00e9aliser une intervention concr\u00e8te et perceptible voire radicale sans toucher ou \u00e0 peine les \u00e9l\u00e9ments. L’exp\u00e9rience men\u00e9e \u00e0 l’abbaye cistercienne du Thoronet illustre cette ?attitude. De la part visible de son intervention : quatre \u00e9l\u00e9ments (bois, marbre, fer), points d’ancrage du parcours, \u00c1lvaro Siza r\u00e9v\u00e8le le? lieu autrement. Par le mouvement et la d\u00e9ambulation, il invite \u00e0 d\u00e9couvrir la pertinence et le parti d’une architecture dont tous s’accordent \u00e0 dire, qu’elle anticipe, mille ans auparavant ou presque, les fondements de la modernit\u00e9 en architecture.<\/p>\n
Ce livre t\u00e9moigne des journ\u00e9es de l’architecte dans l’enceinte du Thoronet et de son travail \u00e0 propos duquel il s’exprime longuement. Sept de ses oeuvres et interventions sont \u00e9galement comment\u00e9es : sur le site arch\u00e9ologique de Cusa en Sicile, le restaurant Boa Nova et le monument \u00e0 Antonio Nobre \u00e0 Matosinhos, la piscine de Le\u00e7a da Palmeira, le quartier de Malagueira \u00e0 Evora, le Centre galicien d’art contemporain \u00e0 Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle, l’\u00e9glise de Marco de Canaveses, la maison Vieira de Castro \u00e0 Famalic\u00e3o. Amis et familiers de l’architecture et de la pens\u00e9e d’\u00c1lvaro Siza, ils racontent la manifestation du parcours en ces diff\u00e9rents moments et lieux et comment ils se sont trouv\u00e9s pris dans un? sillage.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
