have been involved with architecture even before attending university. I finished a CAD Technician course and I worked for a couple of years in small scale projects, both renovations and new constructions, which led me to pursue a higher degree. Originally from a rural area in Portugal, I moved to Lisbon in order to study and to find work. During my Master’s degree in Architecture with Urban Planning specialization, I gained solid working experience, working for two engineering studios; Edgar Cardoso - Structure Laboratory Ltd 2009- 2013 and Civiconsult 2013-2014. I’ve been involved in numerous national and international projects ranging in size from small housing to large scale infrastructures. During that time I acquired high experience in detail drawing, preparing architecture projects to its construction. Already amidst my architectural studies I felt the need for a new experience and thus followed a one semester period studying in Italy. This experience broadened me horizons and led me to move to London, where I live at the moment. I believe that architecture and urban planning have a huge impact on a daily basis, so I think that the city, public spaces and buildings should be thought out and designed for real people.

Emergency HOUSING Location - Benfica, Lisbon, Portugal Scope - University Architectural project I Description - In emergency situations sometimes the solution is to resort to the simplicity and the most basic ways of life. the proposed solution is inspired by a basic act of nature, the animals that live in the trees. Making the branches their beds, the prototype presented here a metaphor for this ritual, having small capsules that will be the individual spaces for each dwelling in him. With only 150 m³ volume and 30m² area, promises to be easy to assemble and dynamic aggregation.

Collective HOUSING Location - Carnide, Lisbon, Portugal Scope - University Architectural Project II Description - In a suburb of Lisbon area, where the city and the field meet each other, there is the opportunity to design a neighborhood that in this specific case will soften the different heights of the existing buildings. In order to smooth the transition between the city high density and rural low density, created a building that varies between two and six floors. The form appears in the intention of varying levels and also the need to create a interior square.

Landscape as PUBLIC SPACE Location - Valledoria, Sardinia, Italy Scope - University Public space Project Description - Valledoria is a small village in the north of Sardinia. The project consisted in the creation of a masterplan remembering all the place dimensions, physical, environmental, economical and social. Drawing a new road profile, with dimension to people, cycling and cars. Near the central church of the village this road won a new identity, with tree shadows, new and strategic lights, and some sits.

Waterfront PUBLIC SPACE Location - Cascais, Portugal Scope - Summer School Urban Planning Project
Description - Marginal Avenue is a waterfront road which connect Lisbon to Cascais. Initially, the connection was made only by train and where the stations emerged, appeared small urban centers that grew over time creating their identity. Along this route, we find physical and social barriers, and this project aimed to minimize barriers and invest in longitudinal continuity and also creating some transversality.

Urban REGENERATION Location - Vale Santo Ant贸nio, Lisbon, Portugal
Scope - University Master Thesis Abstract - This project describes and justifies the project of urban regeneration of the Vale de Santo Ant贸nio in Lisbon. Located in the eastern part of the city its morphology and agricultural genesis are responsible for the visible fragmentation of the urban mesh. Although disconnected with the rest of the city, this area has great patrimonial wealth, which highlights the Convento Santos-o-Novo. Over time, the downgrade of certain city areas, the need for them to be assigned new functions was the reflection target. This need, coupled with the heritage obsolescence, specifically, the convent buildings, provides the mutability concept. This project aims to assess how mutability of the convent buildings complements and stimulates the urban regeneration process. Having been performed a search to 21 similar buildings, still analyzing its surroundings,intending to verify the capability of transformation of the convents and even the impact of this mutation in your surrounding. The main objectives of that urban regeneration strategy with the changeable heritage are re-establish contact of the place with the city and return the identity of the site.
