The PritzkerArchitecture Prize 2011： Eduardo Souto de Moura

The 2011 Pritzker Prize laureate has been announced:

Portuguese architect Eduardo Souto de Moura. Twenty recent

projects, including all the ones that have been honourably

mentioned in the Jury Citation by the Pritzker Committee,

have been perfect examples to represent the unique style

and design philosophy of Mr. Souto de Moura; and the way

he handles materials and values the site as well as history, is

phenomenal. According to the Jury, “His buildings have a

unique ability to convey seemingly conflicting characteristics–

power and modesty, bravado and subtlety, bold public

authority and sense of intimacy – at the same time.”

Museums

To some extent, it is from museums that we learn about the

past and present of a city. A museum is a materialised history;

there, with the historical relics on display, we have dialogues

with history. As we have realised that a museum would be a

useful tool for the publicity of a city, museums have become

projects that architects and designers most long for.

In the book we selected 42 world-top museums, including

history museums, art museums, science museums, etc.

Each project is illustrated with pictures, plans and a brief

introduction. While appreciating the museums, readers would

learn more about the distinguished concepts and the distinct

features of them.

with their understanding to the culture, and then, the buildings

become symbols or attitudes to life, the future and the identity

Building Skin & Details

Contemporary architecture presents itself with various

aesthetical standards. Besides the rational function of

architectural design, architects now pay more attention to the

continuity from the inside to the outside of architecture. At this

point, the design of building skin and details could give a full

presentation of such a tendency. As a new way of expression,

it turns to be a new concern in the field of contemporary

architectural design. The book has collected a number of

projects that could reflect the trend of modern architectural

surface design. According to the composition of the building

material, it has been divided into six chapters. Here, each

project is equipped with photographs and detail drawings,

which could objectively express the ideas and concepts of

the architects.

Home design combines the essence of architecture and

art, and designers do their best to find new ways in various

contradictions and conflicts to perfectly express their

understanding of space and the owners’ initial imagination.

At the same time, each case built always contains many

certain or uncertain factors, including furnishings or even

space composition. Each of these factors seems to tell a

never-ending story and records people’s feeling of excitement,

confusion, recalling and longing. It is precisely because of

these vivid emotional experiences that home design becomes

Interior Lighting

Lighting design comprises of two parts: lamp design and

light and shadow design. We have to take into account the

relationships between lighting and space, between lighting

and decoration, and between lighting and taste, in order

to achieve a satisfying overall effect. Lighting design is a

marriage between art and technology. Apart from its basic

function, interior lighting should be helpful in beautifying a

space, decorating an interior, producing an atmosphere and

creating a taste. Interior lighting is no longer merely a simple

interior design element. It requires a perfect combination of

the latest technologies and cultural identities. How to perfectly

integrate art and technology into lighting is the primary

difficulty a lighting designer or an interior designer encounters.

Fabric Styles

Interior soft decorations include window curtains, curtains,

carpets, tablecloths, cushions, as well as beds and sofas.

Textile is the most commonly used soft decoration. From a

visual or tactile perception, textiles make us feel soft and

warm. Particularly in the modern context where hard and

cold reinforced concrete dominates our spaces, appropriate

adoption of textiles could soften the hardness and warm

the coldness. In interior spaces, the amount of textile used

has become an important aspect to measure the quality of

interior soft decoration. Furniture is also important in interior

spaces, which has gone beyond its basic functions; more

importantly, it is a kind of decoration itself. Nowadays people

are becoming increasingly aware of the decorative effect of

furniture. Especially sofas and beds, as the main components

in interior spaces, have become an integral part of soft

decoration.

Typefaces

As the name suggests, typographic illustration comprises

imagery where the composition is mainly text-based. A piece

of work in this genre will often take one word or a short phrase

and add enough decorative elements so that the overall

impression is as much picture as it is text. Another approach

is to form an image using typographic characters in place of

brush strokes or pencil marks, so that the image is seen first,

and the typography is revealed upon closer inspection. With

the unique layers of meaning that can be encoded using

typography and illustration in tandem, this new image-making

principle is finding popularity in posters and advertising for its

ability to capture the interest of its audience.
