Álvaro Siza Vieira is the most important

architect. His career and work have
been
internationally
recognized
over more than five decades for its
coherent and thoughtful response
to both context and architectural
history. His architecture is spread
across the globe and continues to
receive applause today for its intuitive
creative drive and innovative spatial
experimentation.
Among many other prizes and honors,
in 1992 he was awarded the Pritzker
Prize by the Hyatt Foundation of
Chicago for his lifelong achievments.
In 1996 he received the honorary title
of Fellow of the American Institute of
Architects and in 1998 the Praemium
Imperiale from the Emperor of
Japan. More recently, Siza Vieira
was awarded the 2009 Riba’s Royal
Gold Medal and the 2011 International
Union of Architects Gold Medal. He
was a Visiting Professor at the École
Polytechnique of Lausanne, the
University of Pennsylvania, the Los
Andes in Bogotá, and at the Graduate
School of Design of Harvard University
as Kenzo Tange Visiting Professor. He
continues to teach at the Faculty of
Architecture of the University of Porto.

António Reis (1927-1991) is revered in his

films and many years as a beloved teacher
and mentor exerted an immeasurable
influence over the post-Salazar rebirth of
Portuguese cinema and the new generation
of filmmakers that emerged in the 1980s
and 90s.
Born in Oporto, Reis found renown first as a
poet before making a series of documentary
shorts that attracted the attention of
Manoel de Oliveira who invited Reis to be
