Diogo Aguiar and Teresa Otto are architects formed by FAUP, in 2008. In 2010, upon completion of their course and internship, they founded LIKEarchitects, a studio devoted to the design of ephemeral architectures and intervention in public space.
Being of an experimental, provocative and innovative nature, the LIKEarchitects collective is now formed by the young Portuguese architects Diogo Aguiar, João Jesus and Teresa Otto, seeks to combine their basilar architectural knowledge acquired in the renowned Faculty of Architecture of Oporto with other more radical architectural experiences they have had in worldwide reference studios such as UNStudio and
OMA in The Netherlands and RCR Arquitectes, in Spain.
The proposed temporary structures, which are attentive to the current socio-economic scenario, aim to boost places and involve the community in a critical participation of urban space, having Installation, Happening and Urban Art as references.
LIKEarchitects’ work has been awarded several prizes and been published both in national and international specialized magazines and books.
