João Luís Carrilho da Graça (1952) - Sin título

João Luís Carrilho da Graça was born in Portalegre on 22 November 1952 and graduated from the Lisbon School of Fine Arts in 1977, the same year he opened his studio. He is, with Siza and Souto de Moura, one of the three Portuguese architects living with the greatest international projection. His are the Knowledge Pavilion of the Seas of Expo 98, which earned him the Valmor Prize in 1998 and the FAD in 1999, the musealization of the archaeological area of São Jorge Castle, for which he received the Piranesi Prix de Rome in 2010, the theatre and auditorium in Poitiers and the Maison de la Paix in Geneva. He received the Pessoa Prize in 2008, was named a Knight of Arts and Letters of France in 2010 and has been shortlisted six times for the Mies van der Rohe Prize. His serigraphy reproduces a quick ink sketch, with the handwritten annotation “31 JAN 2006” and the place where it was drawn.
