Currently based between Porto, Lisbon and Funchal, I am working in self-iniciative projects and curating an exhibiton commissioned by CCB | Centro de Arquitectura, oppening may 2026.
As an independent architect and reseacher, I have worked and collaborated with several institutions, associations, and communities. Key projects include the revitalization of Escola da Vila do Porto Santo, awarded an Honorable Mention at the Madeira Architecture Prize (2022), and the curatorial research on the legacy of Raul Chorão Ramalho, Rui Goes Ferreira and Suzanne Daveau. Published in magazines such as Punkto, Umbigo and Koozarch.
Trained at the Faculty of Architecture of Porto (FAUP) with an exchange at the Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio, I have collaborated with several architectural studios, while deepening my engagement of ecological building techniques through hands-on experiences in Portugal and Morocco.
Previously I have contributed to studios such as Barbas Lopes, Baixa Atelier, and hori-zonte, and integrated A-GRUPA Collaborative Urbanism Network in participatory urbanism initiatives.
I believe that architecture should act as an aggregating discipline, capable of uniting multivocal knowledge and fostering a harmonious and continuous relationship with the natural world.
