Interview with Rui Dinis and Henrique Marques – Founders of Spaceworkers

In this episode of Architecting the Future, we meet Rui Dinis and Henrique Marques, the award-winning founders of Spaceworkers studio. Having both graduated from the Faculty of Architecture and Arts at Lusíada University in Porto, the two architects followed different paths until joining forces to create a practice that challenges conventions and thrills with the sophisticated simplicity of its designs.

Adopting an innovative, sensory approach, Rui and Henrique demonstrate that architecture can transcend mere construction to encompass communication, emotion and transformation. Their award-winning projects in Portugal and abroad combine technical rigour, aesthetic sensitivity and a strong commitment to environmental and social sustainability.

Paulo Merlini – Architecture as Human Expression

This episode highlights the work of architect Paulo Merlini, whose philosophy places human well-being at the heart of architecture. Having inherited certain traits from childhood and been encouraged by his father to draw, Merlini embraced architecture as a creative and practical discipline, finding in human biology a basis for his thinking and architectural approach.

The series reveals:
• The origin of his passion for the arts and architecture
• The working philosophy of his studio, summed up in 'Us is more'.
• His sustainable vision for cities and the challenges of contemporary architecture
• The presentation of the Covet Group Design Centre, an emblematic project that reflects his philosophy.
This episode invites viewers to explore purposeful architecture, where aesthetics serves functionality and human experience.
