Curious and with a broad range of interest since childhood, I found in Architecture the interdisciplinary intersection between Nature and Mankind, always searching for beauty in solutions merging Social and Technological approaches. Currently searching for a Internship in order to build up experience in architecture in Germany.
EDUCATION
Politecnico di Torino. Master - Architecture for Sustainability Master focused on searching for technological solutions for a new architecture meeting the new needs of the 21st Century. Master Thesis about Parametric Architecture and Digital Fabrication.
University of Brasilia. Diploma - Architecture and Urban Planning Diploma with a strong emphasis on Modernism, Urban Planning and hand crafted model making.
University of Uberlandia. Diploma - Mechanical Engineering Although unfinished, it played a major role on building up structural, mathematical and material knowledge, focusing on problem-solving, setting the ground for further advancement on Parametric Architecture and Digital Fabrication.
Gymnasium Osterholz-Scharmbeck First contact with the German culture, crucial to incorporate important German cultural features, such as commitment and efficiency.
