Synopses & Reviews
Portuguese architect Eduardo Souto of Moura, widely celebrated for his works of subtlety and refinement, his deft handling of traditional and natural materials, and a precise attention to detail, hast produced structures that, while firmly anchored in the building traditions of his native Portugal, also make insightful reference to Mies and classic early modernism. His buildings establish an intimate connection to nature, landscape, and context. His more recent work has avoided the endless reception of earlier typologies in order to explore the adaption of his approach to buildings of a larger scale.
