Biography

I'm a Mst. Architect, Artist, Researcher, and Teacher. I'm passionate about art, architecture, heritage, and technology. 

Currently I'm Ph.D. Candidate in Architecture from the University of Coimbra, with the title "Virtual Reconstituions of Architectural Heritage: From "Studium Generale" building to General Library of the University of Coimbra", succinctly, I explore in my thesis about translating lost heritage from searching old drawings, old texts-narratives, and photos (in various archives and old libraries) to the world of 3D, exploring the virtual, reconstitution of lost architectural heritage and games platforms (Unreal). And I'm Assistant-Teacher (since 2019) in the classes of "Modeling and Animation" and "Multimedia Communication" at the University of Coimbra on the course of Design and Multimedia. Before that, I have been working as a Researcher for the project SANTA CRUZ - 3D Digital Reconstruction of Santa Cruz Monastery of Coimbra in 1834, and now I'm a Invited-Researcher giving support to the pratical team.

From 2009 to 2016, I worked as an Invited Lecturer in two Universities. I teached several areas, like 3D (modeling and visualization), CAD and post-production software, drawing, and details in construction and architecture classes, in architecture and art-design courses.

I suggest you to see my demo reel and my portfolio (this one for more details about works and projects).

Reasearcher (PhD Candidate) - https://doi.org/10.54499/2022.13766.BD
This research explores the potential of 3D architectural reconstructions and research through drawing, using the site of the University of Coimbra's General Library as a case study. Over the last 700 years, this site hosted multiple buildings and unbuilt projects. Developing drawn and 3D reconstructions of these diverse structures serves to test methodologies for accurate, immersive representations. Simultaneously, it provides an innovative contribution to the architectural history of this Coimbra's historic district.
