Hello ! My name is Mário Lima , Portuguese architect with 32 years old ! Possessing nearly 5 years of diversified experience in architectural and design field , i assume myself as an researcher, someone eagerness to learn and find answers to contemporary dogmas. I’m also a musician and like to write about architecture and complex social phenomena. I like watercolors , communication and strategic planning. I’m a sociable guy and like to share and to discuss . I believe handmade drawing is the path to a living process of My design endless significance, like a seismograph touching architectural guides work production are tension points. based in a site specific narrative structural approach. This narrative is moved by an intrinsic sensibility and explores communication between the observer and built components that in somehow should be visible, understandable and the architectural I pursuit project itself. sustainability, but mainly human proximity through suggestion of actions, interactivity and seduction. Otherwise I believe architecture should be an organism and a link between virtual and real life. From the relation between architecture and technology, space and nature, grows the perfect equilibrium and the fundamental basis for the new city host. I believe architecture and design as a social development process that should be able to create critical mass, and a structural answer approach to social environmental problems. I advocate multifunctionality, hiperculturality, and space/substance adaptability. I think architecture as the body’s extension, or as a body itself, with personality, specific character, and why not, their own will. My projects usually have a face, personality, and express their urban will like a living/specific organism.

Academic project - Housing/Services/Trade - Porto - 2002 A fracture plagues the territory like a cancer consuming the city’s innards, generating urban tension and scale rupture. Appropriator beings that born from the plague where created, to sew the urban fractures and establish a new urban order, where functional and typological diversity are increased.

Academic project - Housing/Services/Trade - Lima 5 intervention - Porto - 2003 In the anonymous city heart a new urban life is raising from the ground. Each body has a specific duty and own will in the search for urban consolidation. These bodies are sensitive organisms with social expressions that celebrate the interior quarter opening to urban happenings and the need for connection expressed by the surroundings. Their vertical and horizontal development are in fact an expressionist urban manifest anchored with their proximity tension urban relations. Diversity is the means to achieve equality and affinity to the urban specific wounds, without losing their global unity.

Academic project - Music school - Music House surroundings regeneration - Boavista - Porto - 2005 The music house construction set up an urban regeneration process , where the need for connection between the future music school and the house of music subway station became capital. The proposal for the the surrounding area is based in a connecting path between the referred urban equipments sustained by a built housing texture. The music school concept is based in a structural idea of an infinite interior “street”. This street is the narrative path along within happening’s take action. Along the path 3 moments are identified as building entrances with music nearby proximity concepts, noise, silence and melody.

Design ideas competition - Accessible/inclusive selective waste collection equipment - 2012 Above any ideal or value, the principle of inclusive design, ensure the urban democratic space value prevails beyond any drawing fetish. However form is the visible expression of ideas, so it has the necessary strength to achieve its purpose. Bolix emerges as a friendly character, good deal, someone to build links... These friendly characters pretend to express their human similarity and are specifically colored to be easily distinguished (green glass, yellow - metal, blue - paper). The idea is to increase the access to older, disable and color-blind people by their formal composition and association to new mobile technology. So when you arrive Bolix calls your name and seduces you to recycle. If you look at the screen you can see how much you have been recycling this month. You may win several prizes! Keep on!
Hello Mr. Peter ! My name is bolix ... I need metal to get happy ... 60 50 40 30 20 10 0

Can you dress this chair? Having “Burel� (traditional Portuguese fabric) as principal composition these piece intents to ensure comfort benefiting from the thermal characteristics of the material. The result is a sinuous, elegant piece of art that describes an emergent narrative, the birth, formal grow and terminus of a living carpet.

Divided by different ambitions a ground floor organism carries a green living pixel box. Named as “Teka” this organism is a human proximity searcher and have a particular face that strategically invites people to the building entrance. The building location search for intimacy against the most noisy and busy via. The interior space is divided in two. The ground floor where are located the administrative, storage and the public spaces and the first and interstitial floor where is located the reading room.

Design ideas competition - Boavista eco district - Lisbon - 2013 The proposed intervention aims to create a share deal between public and private spaces, between the intimate and the exposed, delineating boundaries, offering places for sharing. The street, place of encounter and dialogue it’s a hybrid space, a meeting place, a place of passage and movement, the space of all. This prefabricated component social building pretends to be an example of energetic efficiency and stands out from his vertical green living towers. From nature and industry process born a rational/organic building where people, trees and happenings can be highlighted.

Design ideas competition - House of fairy tales - Odense - 2013 Imagination, symbolic meanings and intimacy, set up the 1st “real” time “virtual” game experience. The light train passage space division defines 2 urban borders that must be unified. The defined drawing intentions specify the first as an urban green textured exposed space. The second hosts the development and climax of the fairy tale (where are the inside presentation exhibition areas and the exterior garden) and draws a thematic inside/outside labyrinth directly referenced with the historical head quarter.

Design ideas competition - National exhibition centre rehabilitation - Sofia - 2014 The UBA building rehabilitation concept is based in a narrative related to time, history and process. Uba installations are one of the many exemplars of brutalist architecture, which have the particularity of the extensive repetition and rule of its prefabricated construction elements. Despite the new intervention order is related to the existent, however address the constraints of the program, it was not always possible to relate the two in harmony. When that happens a random accident takes place and here starts the narrative. The narrative highest happening expression is the reflection of the building limits violation. The need to contain the strength of this accident leads to the creation of a skin that tries to hinder and rehabilitates the building faรงade. This fact draws a master piece , an excrescence , some kind of an intriguing body that punctuates the main faรงade and works like a call for attention to the principal spaces of the building ( the exhibition rooms).
