Eduardo Souto de Moura, Portuguese architect, wins 2011 Pritzker Prize

Nobody can say Eduardo Souta de Moura is in Alvaro Siza's shadow any longer. Souta de Moura has won the 2011 Pritzker Prize.


The 58-year-old Portuguese architect, who worked in Siza's office for several years as a young architect, is the winner of this year's Pritzker Architecture Prize, the field's most prestigious honor.

Souta de Moura has produced a varied body of public and private work but is probably best known for a stadium in Braga, Portugal, that was completed in 2004.

The Pritzer jury also singled out his House No. 2 in Bom Jesus, Portugal, for praise. Like Siza, who won the Pritzker in 1992, Souto de Moura works in Porto, Portugal's second-largest city.
