FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE - UNIVERSITY OF PORTO (FAUP)
Created in 1979, from the legacy of the School of Fine Arts of the U.Porto (ESBAP), FAUP is one of the most prestigious schools of Architecture in the world. Here were trained and taught important names of the “Porto School” (one of the most influential currents of contemporary architecture in Portugal), such as Álvaro Siza Vieira and Eduardo Souto Moura, the only two Portuguese architects distinguished with the Pritzker Prize, considered the “Nobel Prize” of architecture.
Located in Porto University’s Polo III (Campo Alegre), the complex of buildings that has housed the FAUP since 1992 is also one of the most emblematic creations of Siza Vieira’s career. A unique space that can be visited by anyone on one of the guided tours regularly organised by the faculty.
