The Pritzker Architecture Prize is often referred to as the “architecture’s Nobel” and “the profession’s highest honor”. 2011 winner is Portuguese Architect Eduardo Souto Moura<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The purpose of the Pritzker Architecture Prize is to honor annually a living architect whose built work demonstrates a combination of those qualities of talent, vision and commitment, which has produced consistent and significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art of architecture.<\/p>\n

Eduardo Souto Moura is the second Portuguese architect to have been given the prize. Alvaro Siza Vieira <\/a> was the first Portuguese awarded with this prestigious prize<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Eduardo Souto Moura was born in Porto, Portugal in 1952. He began his career as an art student, studying sculpture, but eventually switched to architecture. He credits a meeting with Donald Judd in Zurich for the switch from art to architecture.<\/p>\n

Souto Moura has achieved much praise for his exquisite use of materials – granite, wood, marble, brick, steel, concrete – as well as his unexpected use of colour. Souto Moura is clear on his view of the use of materials, saying, \u201cI avoid using endangered or protected species. I think we should use wood in moderation and replant our forests as we use the wood. We have to use wood because it is one of the finest materials available.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In an interview with Croquis, he explained, \u201cI began my professional practice designing houses, I don\u2019t know why\u2014 houses for my family and for my friends. And those houses, both urban and non-urban, had a typology. I believe that housing is something universal that historically has changed very little. The materials change, the building systems change, but the idea of a house as such is not something that has changed a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At a series of forums called the Holcim Forum on sustainable architecture, Souto Moura stated, \u201cFor me, architecture is a global issue. There is no ecological architecture, no intelligent architecture, no sustainable architecture \u2014 there is only good architecture. <\/strong> There are always problems we must not neglect; for example, energy, resources, costs, social aspects \u2014 one must always pay attention to all these.\u201d<\/p>\n
