This work aims to reflect on Architecture and place: the paths of Álvaro Siza s architecture, architecture that is topological and attentive to context, pre-existence, concreteness, history, culture, socio-cultural issues, which reverberates notions of time, fragment, memory, experience and place. This reflection will be elaborated taking the Iberê Camargo Foundation project (Porto Alegre, 1998-2008) as the focus of analysis. Since in Siza there is no prior concept of place, but a case by case that involves multiple relationships and dimensions, we will pose the following concern: how does architect Álvaro Siza carry out the question of place in the Foundation s project? For this, we bring cartography as a way of approaching, using it as a possible tool for perceiving the relationships that the architect establishes to create a place, and, thus, go through the poetics of the architect in the Foundation s project.
