Eduardo Souto de Moura wraps up the triad that placed Porto in the circuits of global architecture by virtue of honouring vernacular tradition in combination with geometric rigour, constructive precision, and material solidity. Such a sublayer has enabled him to handle types, scales, and strategies with agility, while still stamping an unmistakable mark on his projects. Celebrating his 45 years of work, Arquitectura Viva presents that same number of projects of his in this book, testimony of a brilliant practice that has been both intensely local and resolutely open to the world. An in-depth article by Kenneth Frampton gives intellectual strength to the monograph, which closes with the Portuguese architect going over his trajectory in an interview conducted by Luis Fernández-Galiano.
