Eduardo Souto de Moura is one of the most renowned names in contemporary Portuguese architecture. Born in Porto in 1952, he began his career with Álvaro Siza Vieira between 1975 and 1979, before founding his own studio in 1980. His work reflects a unique combination of rigour, formal refinement and sensitivity to context, and is widely recognised both nationally and internationally.Alongside his professional practice, Souto de Moura has had a distinguished academic career. He was an assistant professor at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto (FAUP) for ten years and has been a visiting professor at world-renowned institutions such as Harvard, Zurich, Paris-Belleville, Lausanne, Dublin, Mendrísio and Mantova.He has been honoured with numerous awards over the years, including the Pritzker Prize (2011), considered the "Nobel Prize" of architecture, the Wolf Prize (2013), the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale (2018), and the Heinrich Tessenow Medal (2001). In 2019, he was awarded the Arnold W. Brunner Memorial Prize by the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and more recently awarded an honorary degree by La Sapienza University in Rome (2022) and the Gold Medal of the Circle of Fine Arts of Madrid (2023).In 2024, Eduardo Souto de Moura was awarded the insignia of Commander of Arts and Letters by the French Minister of Culture, in recognition of the lasting impact of his work on the European cultural and artistic landscape.Venue: Floor 1, GMP.
