Seeing from inside

I was born in the small village of Alvarães (Viana do Castelo, Portugal) in 1961. I studied architecture in Porto, between the School of Fine Arts and the University of Porto (UP). I am an architect and a professor of architecture at the Faculty of Architecture of UP, where I teach design studio. My research focuses on the spatial devices of the house, the relationship between culture and housing forms, mass housing programmes, and currently, the development of a renewed approach to ‘inclusive architecture’, encompassing aspects from ageing to sustainability.
