I visit the house I built more than 40 years ago. I meet the same owner − 92 healthy years old. There were no works or restorations, the doors and windows in wood mysteriouslywork as on the first day, the guillotines can still be moved with a finger, black-tin brassfittings fulfill their function. The ocher colour of the plaster is the usual colour. Only time - this architect that does not tolerate mistakes - and the sun, filtered by the original curtains and the trees and shrubs that invade the garden, transform the spaces in continuous expansion and inscribe drawings in walls, ceilings and floors: light spots and shadows that move without haste. The house does not look small. The covers hide or reveal the landscape, driven by thedesire of whoever inhabits it. Nothing depends on me. Unrelated, I observe. (Alvaro Siza)
