Eduardo Souto de Moura (born 1952) has built a career on refined minimalism, material authenticity, and contextual harmony. A protégé of Álvaro Siza, he developed a distinct architectural voice through projects such as the Braga Municipal Stadium, the Paula Rego Museum, and the Burgo Tower in Porto. His buildings emphasize geometric precision, local materials, and a subtle integration with the landscape. Awarded the Pritzker Prize (2011), Souto de Moura’s work demonstrates how modernist principles can coexist with historical and regional influences, creating timeless, contemplative spaces that feel both monumental and intimately connected to their surroundings.
