“I would like to try to expose my vision of architecture through the projects I have accomplished, or simply imagined, as my thoughts are cemented therein.”
“To begin with the obsession of originality is an unrefined and rudimentary process.”
”There is no imposing monument in the city without the anonymous continuity of multiple constructions: they are complementary qualitative features. Yet in the evolution of the city, the loss of this sense of each building’s role is obvious to everyone. The widespread pursuit of prominence and distinction renders any form of protagonism impossible.”

Special Edition, signed and numbered
Linen cover
The Order of Landscape presents a powerful insight into the work of a forefront figure in contemporary landscape architecture, João Gomes da Silva. Through an extensive duotone photo essay by João Carmo Simões, a collection of texts and a set of plans, the book unveils this seminal body of work.
Beginning in 1987, with Álvaro Siza in the Malagueira plan, Gomes da Silva’s career has decisively marked Portuguese contemporary architecture. From Serralves Museum Garden to Madeira’s Seafront Promenade and Lisbon's riverfront, his particular conception of new grounds proposes a formality without formalisms and a naturalness without naturalisms.
