Prémio Pessoa is one of the most prestigious awards delivered in Portugal, being attributed yearly to a “Portuguese personality that has distinguished him or herself in the artistic, literary or scientific fields”. This year, the jury has honored the architect João Luís Carrilho da Graça for his work of great clarity and coherence and his contributions to the formation of young architects. This prize is named after the famous Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa.
