Editorial Blau, is a Lisbon-based publisher specialising in high-quality, bilingual -portuguese and english - books on architecture, including Editorial Blau's best-selling and critically acclaimed Monograph Collection which now includes a monograph on the built work of "Mies van der Rohe" and four monographs on three of Portugal's most famous architects: "Fernando Tavora", "Eduardo Souto Moura", "Alvaro Siza, 1954-1976" and "Alvaro Siza, 1986-1985". Produced in 216 page, large full colour format, these beautiful monographs are true works of art, as stated by Hans Van Dijk in a past issue of Archis: "Portugal does not have a tradition in the field of architecture publications, which is why it is not only remarkable but above all gratifying that Editorial Blau has commenced with a series of fully fledged monographs. These books cannot be faulted; a generous selection of drawings, details of buildings and photographs provide a useful insight into the architects' work. Anyone spurred on by this and wanting to find out more about the work presented and what has been published about it, is excellently served by the reference sections at the end of the book. In short, these are comprehensive and perfect examples of what monographs should be."
