Biography

Ateliermob is a multidisciplinary platform which develops projects, ideas and research within architecture, design and urbanism. This is the way it usually starts. From this point, everything is worked out. The impossible is to work on the unexciting, on the uncreative, on what diverges from people needs. Since 2005 ateliermob has worked on different programs for different parts of the world. It has been invited to lecture in Portugal, Spain, France and Canada and its works have been published around the world. Ateliermob got distinguished with the 2nd Prize in the Franz Ludwig Catel Foundation Architecture Prize [2011]; 1st Prize in the UP4 master plan in Amareleja [2009]; with the selection to the Festival of Lively Architecture in Montpellier [2009]; the 1st Prize in the New Moura's Cemetery Competition [2008]; the 1st Prize in the Tagus River Banks International Design Competition [2007]; and the honourable mention in the International Ideas Competition for the Paris Courthouse [2006]. In 2007 it was included on the Top 10 of emerging architecture offices in Portugal by the 'New Italian Blood'. Ateliermob is preparing its first book.
