Porphyrios Associates: Recent Work

Paolo Portoghesi

Synopsis:
Demetri Porphyrios is an international architect based in London, equally well known for his urban design, buildings and writings. The work presented here, all completed within the past five years, ranges from urban projects to office, institutional and college buildings and includes an extension to the old town of Spetses in Greece, a hotel resort in Mount Sinai, office buildings in Birmingham, U.K., and new college buildings at Magdalen College, Oxford and Selwyn College, Cambridge. All Porphyrios's work is characterized by an unerring instinct for appropriate materials-generally indigenous and natural-harmonious proportions and contextual sensitivity.
