Tectonic Design
Conversation with Eduardo Souto de Moura on Burgo Tower about Engineer and Architecture
In 2008, for the first edition of CdO, we interviewed Eduardo Souto de Moura, to understand the development of the project of the BURGO tower in Porto, a building that crosses contemporary technologies of building facades with traditional Portuguese materials. The concept for the façade was a challenge for the architects and engineers. Traditional Portuguese granitic stone was used, which is heavy therefore difficult to manipulate during the construction. This building would certainly not be possible without a strong complicity between architecture and engineering since the beginning of the design until the construction of the façade.
