I am a Portuguese architect born in Porto in 1990.
In 2008 I was admitted to the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto (FAUP). As part of the master’s degree
I studied at the University of the Arts of Berlin, the College of Architecture (UDK) and the TU Berlin School of Architecture between 2012 and 2013.
In 2016, I presented my master’s thesis entitled “Imperfect Past: Fidelity and Confrontation in Intervention”: a path through the visions of Time of Krzysztof Pomian by architecture examples. In recognition of my academic performance, I was awarded several prizes and honours throughout my studies.
My education has been complemented with experiences in the production of editorial and cultural events, and with the participation in several workshops and competitions, always pushing myself towards new challenges.
In 2013 I co-founded ORA Collective, a practice that aims to emphasize reality through ephemeral installations. The group is registered in the Future Architecture Platform 2017 and has been awarded several recognition prizes.
I worked at Serôdio, Furtado & Associados Arquitectos, in Porto (2013-2019) and in +Rolf,Design & Arkitektur, in Stockholm (2019-2020).
