Eduardo Souto de Moura (1952) - Sin título

Eduardo Souto de Moura was born in Porto on 25 July 1952. He began in sculpture and moved to architecture at the Porto School of Fine Arts, graduating in 1980; from 1974 to 1979 he worked in Álvaro Siza's studio. He received the Pritzker Prize in 2011. His works include the reconversion of the Santa Maria do Bouro convent in Amares (1989-1997), the Braga Municipal Stadium, excavated in a quarry between 2000 and 2003, and the Casa das Histórias Paula Rego in Cascais (2009). His serigraphy reproduces two sketches of tall buildings, taken from a notebook with pages 115 and 116 still numbered by hand.
