The Edifício do Aleixo offices, built in the late 90s, is probably only place in the world where two Pritzker Awards, Álvaro Siza Vieira and Eduardo Souto de Moura divide a condo for their offices. Designed by Siza Vieira, this building is perfectly recognisable, on a higher level than the river Douro, in Porto.
Álvaro Siza Vieira’s office at Edifício do Aleixo, back in 1998.
Eduardo Souto de Moura was born in Porto (Portugal) in 1952. He has a degree in Architecture from the School of Fine Arts in Porto. After working with Álvaro Siza Vieira, he set up his own architecture practice in 1980. He taught at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Porto University and has been visiting professor at Paris-Belleville, Harvard, Dublin, Zurich and Lausanne. In 2011, he was awarded the most important prize in international architecture, the Pritzker Prize.
