Eduardo Elisio Machado Souto de Moura (b. July 25, 1952) is an architect born and raised in Portugal who learned his trade from the architects Fernando Tavora and Alvaro Siza. De Moura currently lives and works in Porto where he has built several internationally acclaimed buildings.
But as Antonio Angelillo's analytical essay makes clear, SoutodeMoura is as little interested in dusting off models of the early modern movement as in a simplistic adaptation to the context in which he has to build.
SoutodeMoura denies that the modern movement has radically altered the typology of housing and emphasizes the similarities between Roman patio houses and the 'court houses' of Mies van der Rohe.
From 1981 to 1990, SoutoMoura was assistant professor at his alma mater, and was later appointed Professor at the University of Oporto Faculty of Architecture.
