Manuel Graça Dias was the architect who did the most to bring Portuguese architecture to the general public, as a critic since 1978 and as author of buildings such as the Teatro Azul of Almada, and he is the curator of this album.
He was born in Lisbon in 1953 and died on 24 March 2019. He graduated from the Lisbon School of Fine Arts in 1977 and between 1978 and 1981 worked in Macau with Manuel Vicente. In 1990 he founded the studio Contemporânea with Egas José Vieira; together they built the Almada Municipal Theatre, the Teatro Azul (1998-2005), shortlisted for the Secil, Mies van der Rohe and Aga Khan awards, the Aljube Museum in Lisbon and the Olive and Olive Oil Museum in Mirandela, and in 1999 they received the AICA Architecture Prize. He taught in Lisbon and Porto, was an architecture critic since 1978 and was made a Commander of the Order of Prince Henry in 2006. He was also the curator of this album. His sheet is the boldest in color: a house drawn in marker on a grey background and framed by a broad red brushstroke band.
