Nobody can say Eduardo Souta de Moura is in Alvaro Siza's shadow any longer. Souta de Moura has won the 2011 Pritzker Prize.
The 58-year-old Portuguese architect, who worked in Siza's office for several years as a young architect, is the winner of this year's Pritzker Architecture Prize, the field's most prestigious honor.
Souta de Moura has produced a varied body of public and private work but is probably best known for a stadium in Braga, Portugal, that was completed in 2004.
The Pritzer jury also singled out his House No. 2 in Bom Jesus, Portugal, for praise. Like Siza, who won the Pritzker in 1992, Souto de Moura works in Porto, Portugal's second-largest city.
