Twenty questions, eight minutes on the clock, and a percentile measured against everyone who has taken it. No sign-up.
Take the IQ test →The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
The record gives his occupations as architect and university teacher.
His affiliations include Harvard University, University of Paris and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne.
His principal work is Estádio Municipal de Braga. Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.
The honours are a fair index of how the work was received - Pritzker Architecture Prize (2011) and Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of Portugal.
That the work was done from Portugal matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Eduardo Souto de Moura is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
