Ninth Edition 2023-2024
Nuno Melo Sousa (1988) lives and works in Penafiel, northern Portugal. He attended the Porto School of Architecture – FAUP and did an Erasmus programme at the TU Delft and Balkrishna Doshi’s International Studio in Ahmedabad, India. He has briefly collaborated with [a] ainda arquitectura and Nuno Brandão Costa. Since 2012, Nuno has been working at his atelier where he draws and sometimes paints too, but he mostly draws: on walls, on paper and on tables as the slowness of the act of building leaves him yearning for the immediate. Some of these drawings have been exhibited around Europe – most recently at Premio Lissone 2024.
Nuno has taught at INDA – Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand, at the Porto School of Architecture – FAUP and at the Accademia di architettura di Mendrisio. He has led workshops such as Porto Academy and lectured at several universities and venues. Nuno has been presented with the 2023 BigMat International Architecture Award for small scale and was a finalist in the FAD prize 2021 and received the jury’s mention (Casa no Tâmega) – selected in 2015 (Sala em Pala) and 2023 (Casa Quintela). Nuno likes to sit alone at the building site and prefers to draw on-site rather than in CAD.
