Summary:
Manuel and Francisco Aires Mateus are adamant when they say it is very interesting to work outside their home country of Portugal, but it is especially stimulating to return. In interviews, however, they have often pointed to the problems they are faced with when working in Portugal: lack of planning, overly restrictive regulations, very limited market for experimenting with new materials and systems, and vanishing craftsmanship. Yet they are positive that these challenges contribute to architecture’s continued improvement. This guidebook is both a reference to the numerous built works in Portugal by Aires Mateus and an itinerary spanning 21 cities, from north to south.

Summary:
This small yet densely packed and intriguingly designed guide revisits and reconsiders more than 70 built works by Eduardo Souto de Moura, selected by the architect himself.

Each project is given with objective data as a complement to the reader’s journey, such as the circumstances of the commission, stages of the design process, simultaneous projects, contingencies of construction, and even subsequent changes to the project. The texts are based on the architect’s own writings, interviews, and lectures, thereby helping to communicate the true essence of each building.
