Eduardo Souto de Moura was born in Porto, Portugal, in 1952. Throughout his academic studies he collaborated with architects Noé Denis, Álvaro Siza and Fernandes de Sá. After graduating in 1980, he opened his own office. Among numerous other national and international awards, Souto de Moura has received the Pritzker Prize in 2011 or the 'Leone d'Oro' Prize at The Venice Biennale in 2018. El Croquis issue 218 highlights 8 recent years of Souto de Moura’s architectural practice and features 19 projects including the Vatican Chapel for the Venice Biennale, the Bruges Congress and Exhibition Centre, a Single Family House in Zagreb, as well as several public and private works in his home country (including the renovation of the Alcobaça Monastery and the Hydroelectric Power Plant at Foz Tua Dam). With an interview by Inmaculada Maluenda and Enrique Encabo.
