The Baroque as an idea can be better understood through a diptych that confronts two author-architects who were born, one year apart, in the first half of the Baroque century (16th-17th). The rivalry and dispute between the two is historical.
This cycle of two lectures aims to revisit what unites these two adversaries (who respected each other) and whose dispute helped to develop their respective individual architectural expressions and, above all, contributed to the most astonishing critical reconstruction of classical architecture that the Siza Baroque project aims to continue.
