In Depth: eVolo #03 © Bravdesign Our friends at eVolo have been kind enough to send us a copy of their current issue. This magazine, unlike most of the current Architecture publications, is not only focused on news-related content and imagery, but most of all it is written with the collaboration of Architects, Writers and Academics which elaborate a great set of theoretical content in focus with contemporary Architecture and Urbanism. Thus, eVolo is a great Architecture and Design journal focused on technological advances, sustainability, and innovative design for the 21st Century. Their objective is to promote and discuss the most avant-garde ideas generated in Schools and professional Studios around the world. It is a medium to explore the reality and future of design with up-to-date news, events, and projects.

Eduardo Souto de Moura, Pritzker Prize 2011 © Joao Pereira de Sousa - Casa das Histórias Paula Rego The Pritzker Architecture Prize 2011 has been awarded to the Portuguese Architect Eduardo Souto de Moura. He is surely one of the great Masters of the Portuguese Contemporary Architecture. Born and raised in the city of Porto, he has been a disciple of Álvaro Siza Vieira, who has also won the Pritzker Prize in 1992. These two generations of Architects, along with an older one of Fernando Távora, have been responsible for making the city of Porto a great destination to visit great contemporary Architecture, while also designing some interesting buildings across the globe.
