Curriculum Vitae

Luís Carlos Oliveira de Pinho Godinho Bucha

Luís Carlos Bucha (Lisbon, 1992) is a Lisbon-born Portuguese architect practising since 2019, a PhD candidate in Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture and Arts at Lusíada University of Lisbon [FAA-ULL], and a research fellow at the Design, Architecture and Territory Research Centre (CITAD) at Lusíada University. In 2023, Luís was granted a PhD research scholarship and began working at CITAD. At this research centre and within the Architecture and Urbanism Research Group, Luís is a member of several research projects [RPs], such as "Architecture and Transdisciplinarity [ArT]"; "Meta-Baroque: Towards an Architecture of a Future [metA]"; "Mapping the Architectural Inter-Relationships between Portugal and Japan in an International Context [JAPOm]"; and also "Filming Álvaro Siza [FILMs]", under the supervision of Professor Maria João Moreira Soares, PhD. and Professor João Miguel Couto Duarte, PhD. As a PhD candidate, his research aligns with the inter- and transdisciplinarity of architecture, with a particular interest in understanding the transversal and interconnected nature of architecture, cognitive neuroscience and philosophy, through phenomena such as empathy, embodiment, and emotion. This research aims to contribute to developing the RP [metA], under the supervision of Professor Maria João Moreira Soares, PhD. Luís holds an M.Arch degree in Architecture from the Lusíada University of Lisbon (2018). (February 2024)
