I was born in Portugal and since a young boy I always wanted to be an architect… went to school in Porto, where I had teachers and life role models like the famous architects Alvaro Siza Vieira and Souto Moura. Super curious about worldwide cultures, I've travelled around the globe in all the countries I could, and I keep going… 87 countries already! As an architect, my job is to develop interesti
ng projects and concepts, able enough to question traditional costumes and reality… sometimes I manage the projects and their materialisation to make them real. I hang out with a lot of different people, geeks and nerds from different operational fields. I'm a tech and arts geek myself. I've worked in different areas of architecture and already know myself and what I'm able or not able to do. I regularly attend to art, construction, investment and sustainability meetups and I got to know a lot of powerful people in this industry. I don’t like pushy people. If you are nice, I will go out of my way to help you. I like to treat people with respect. I enjoy helping people and I love to learn about new cultures and traditions… Story of my life ;)
Technically speaking…
I'm a worldwide operational architect, with a vast and comprehensive knowledge about the "state-of-the-art", always trying to define the next generation of architectural projects development, assessment, and management services. Combining cutting-edge technology with some of the world's most ancient tools and knowledge, I develop projects with the full intention to create truthful and astonishing experiences in my clients and my own existence. Have optimum communication skills, I'm used to have direct contact with clients/ public. Travelling regularly to building sites, proposed locations, and client meetings. Able to work independently, sometimes remotely with goal-oriented programs. I usually work with other professionals such as building services engineers, construction managers, quantity surveyors and architectural technologists. Creating building concepts and designs, with highly detailed drawings both artistically and by using special computer-aided design (CAD) 2D/3D applications. I'm a geek with advanced informatic skills. Always finding new solutions to make it happen! I really love my job! ARCHITECT / PROJECT MANAGER / DESIGNER/ LANDSCAPER
