Saraiva + Associados: the concept of comfort in the form, function and beauty of architecture

In the final episode of the first season of Arquitetando o Futuro (Architecting the Future), we welcome Joana Peres, whose vision transforms spaces into experiences: Joana Peres.

Even before becoming an architect, Joana Peres was designing worlds. It was on the beach that Joana's foundations were laid, where she would stretch out her finger to draw the plans for the houses she imagined, in the sand and to scale.

It was literature that provided her with the characters that have accompanied her throughout her 20-year career at Saraiva + Associados, where she is now a Senior Partner: characters with soul, voice and human experience.

Joana advocates architecture that cares, welcomes and humanises. However, it is her concept of comfort that truly encapsulates her creative philosophy.

OODA’s Creative Philosophy and Constructive Dialogue

Established in 2010, OODA – the Oporto Office for Design and Architecture – emerged in Porto, shaped by the international experiences of its founders and partners. Today, it stands as one of Portugal’s leading architectural studios, with a portfolio of cross-border projects that reflect a global outlook grounded in local context.

In this episode, we delve into the creative journey of architect Julião Pinto Leite to explore OODA’s design philosophy and its perspective on the evolving role of architecture in a rapidly changing world.

Among the many accolades that celebrate the studio’s work, notable honours include first prize at the 2012/2013 Architecture Biennial for the Casa Varatojo project, and two Architizer A+Awards – one of which was awarded for Torre 15, also known as the Flower Tower, in Matosinhos, a project that encapsulates OODA’s ethos.

Discover more about Julião Pinto Leite, one of the recipients of the European 40 Under 40 Award, which highlights the most promising emerging talents in European architecture.

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.

This episode invites viewers to explore purposeful architecture, where aesthetics serves functionality and human experience.
