Description
English architect whose most important work was built abroad; The Santo António Hospital, in Oporto, one of the most palace-like public buildings in Portugal, a work of great simplicity and architectural beauty.
"After all, Oporto, in order to really honour its name, is, above all, this large lap, open to the river, but that can only be seen from the river, or rather, only through narrow gaps closed within walls can the voyager lean to the open air and live the illusion that the whole of Oporto is Ribeira." (José Saramago)
