During the period of 2018 to 2019, I undertook an academic exchange at the Escola Tècnica Superior d'Arquitectura de Barcelona (ETSAB) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). My final project, titled "Mercado e Metro da Uruguaiana," was approved with excellence, earning a grade of 9.7 (out of 10). This work was supervised by Dr. Arch. Andrés Pássaro Martins and evaluated by the jury members, Dr. Arch. Ana Slade, Dr. Arch. Paolo Colosso, and Arch. Pedro Varella. Additionally, this project facilitated the recognition of my foreign diploma by the University of Minho, under the Portuguese grading system. During my undergraduate studies, I was a scholarship recipient (funded by FAPERJ) for Scientific Initiation at NUMATS - Núcleo de Ensino e Pesquisa em Materiais e Tecnologias de Baixo Impacto Ambiental na Construção Sustentável - COPPE/POLI/UFRJ (2016-2017), where I contributed to the Sustainable Cities project, aiding in the development of concrete furnishings in collaboration with LAMO 3D - Laboratório de Modelos e Fabricação Digital (FAU/UFRJ). In 2020, I also worked as an intern in Architecture and Urbanism at A+ Arquitetura RJ. Furthermore, I participated in the Extension Course of post-graduation: Architecture, Subjectivity, and Culture: Thinking ambiences through subjectivity. PROARQ - 30 hours in 2017. At FAU UFRJ, I served as a tutor in the discipline of Architectural Form Conception, taught by Prof. Ana Amora in 2015.2, and as a scholarship tutor in the disciplines of Architectural Theory II, taught by Prof. Maria Cristina Cabral, and Landscape Design II, taught by Prof. Patrícia Maya, in 2017-2018 and 2020, respectively. I received academic awards, among which I highlight the selection of my project Atelier Integrado I for exhibition in 2016.2 and the selection of the same project for inclusion in the book "Reflections on the integrated teaching of architectural design," organized by Adriana Sansão, Carlos Ferferman, and Andrea Rego and published by Rio Books in 2018. During my exchange period at ETSAB UPC in Barcelona, I was selected in an evaluative workshop with dozens of competitors to be the director of a short film about the EMBT natural gas building by Enric Miralles, within the scope of the Architecture and Cinema discipline at ETSAB UPC. The short film project was screened at the Barcelona Pavilion by Mies van der Rohe, in the presence of architect Beneditta Taglebue, during the event "Action! The value of the experience: Dialogue between architecture and cinema in the classroom," coordinated by Maria Mauti, film director, and the workshop "Architecture and Cinema," ETSAB 2019, with Antonio Pizza, professor at ETSAB and director of the course "Architecture and Cinema." As a professional, I worked as a design architect at Egis São Paulo in 2021, during a six-month contract in the consortium of the São Paulo municipality (Recupera SP). I also had the opportunity to collaborate with the renowned Bernardes Arquitetura studio in Rio de Janeiro in the same year, until the approval of my PhD at FAUP. Currently, I have worked at Risco Arquitectura in Lisbon on large-scale projects such as the Alfazina social housing in Almada, Lumiar residential complex in Lisbon, proposals for a FIFA-standard football stadium in Rabat, and the Hospital da Luz in Seixal. I am currently dedicated exclusively to the FCT scholarship, which funds my doctoral thesis.
