School of Porto

The Porto School is a movement of modern and contemporary architecture in Portugal. Grounded in the teaching at the Porto School of Fine Arts and the Porto School of Architecture, it is one of the most influential architectural movements in the history of Portuguese architecture. Its main figures, Fernando Távora, Álvaro Siza Vieira, and Eduardo Souto de Moura are some of the most globally renowned Portuguese architects. The School is the foremost expression of modern architecture in Portugal. It is defined by the importance given to the contextualisation and integration of the functionalism and minimalism typical of modernism to the specific local and historical background of each work and to the roots of Portuguese traditional architecture. The first work unanimously attributed to the School was designed in 1953, but its origins can be traced from the beginning of the 20th century.¶
