On 19th November 2021, the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art in Porto hosted the third edition of "The Álvaro Siza Talks", an event that brings together architects, scholars and students for the discussion of issues relevant to contemporary architecture while celebrating the spirit of Álvaro Siza's work. Each edition of the Talks is centred around a different topic that aims at fostering discussion and debate in connection to themes and values expressed in Siza's architecture.

The theme for this year's edition of the Talks, "Conversations with Place", aimed at raising a discussion of the very notions of place and site, and their role in contemporary architectural practice.

As part of 'The Álvaro Siza Talks 2021: Conversations with Place', Sheila O’Donnell delivered a lecture on the work of O’Donnell + Tuomey, introduced by Carles Muro.

Other speakers included Juhani Pallasmaa, Paulo Davide, Carme Pinos, Cino Zucchi and Anne Lacaton.

'The Álvaro Siza Talks' are organized by the Serralves Foundation in collaboration with the Aga Khan Award for Architecture.
