Résumé

"Contemporary Portuguese architects include a sizeable number of talents who have been influenced by the personality of Alvaro Siza, but have also pursued their own design research: one of them is Eduardo Souto de Moura (1952). This monograph, the result of a reordering of the studio archives in collaboration with the architect, presents the work of the creator of the patio-houses and the "constructions within the landscape", the artist who combines close attention to the "settlement principle" with a focus on local architecture, through use of natural materials, transfiguring the figurative elements of classical architecture in a modern manner. Minimalism and discreet use of local materials are the essential components of the activity of Souto de Moura, leading to works that silently insert themselves in the landscape. His best known projects include: the municipal market of Braga (1980-84), the cultural center for the S.E.C. in Oporto (1981-91), the houses in Miramar (1987-91) and Alcanena (1987-92), the geology department of the University of Aveiro (1990-94), the patio houses at Matosinhos (1993-99), the Portuguese pavilion at the Hanover Expo, with A. Siza (1999). Essays by G. Leoni and A. Esposito, and an interview with A. Siza, F. Tàvora and Souto de Moura, introduce the architect's work."
