projectos profissionais

Casa da Música, Visual Identity, 2000
The building offers, undoubtedly, the ingredients for the graphic expression of the institutional identity of Casa da Música. The design made possible the exploration of these ingredients, synchronizing them with the institution's various activities and exploring the very idea of creating a cultural focus point open to diversity.

Metro do Porto, Visual Identity, 2001
The design of a new visual identity for the MP determines the end of a cycle for both project and construction work, laden with distrust and inconvenience for the citizens, and confirms the Metro as a public transport service and as the urban transforming agent expected by the inhabitants.

Metro do Porto, Signage Project, 2004
This project was developed by a joint team, integrating the transport operator, the architecture, the security issues and transport information systems. Its importance greatly surpasses designing a solution, since it has created precious data as to the methods and parameters implicated in projects of this nature.

Intermodal Transports of Porto
Diagnosis in Information and Signage - A Study, 2005
It is quite unreasonable to think of an integrated public transports network, providing the city with the corresponding physical infrastructures, and not to convey that concept in public information. It's like distributing a technically complex product without a manual. This study observed the state of things in the city of Porto and drafted a few principles for the information accompanying intermodal transports.

ponto da situação

The subject matter shall be gathered via direct integration and participation in the heart of the community of musicians that occupy that shopping centre in Porto. The definition for that gathering is currently under way. The possibility of proposing specific practices within the context of this community lies open. Nevertheless, the investigation shall focus in the revelation of the studied reality through its corresponding image and in the conclusions that can be extracted to define a field that shall be defined as Image Design.
