SOUSASANTOS is a design team focused on the connection between the human environment and the cultural and technological context of our times. They feel that every architectural scheme is multidisciplinary, and not related only with the conventional definition of architectural design. The design process must support a fluid mutual relation between architecture as an area of knowledge and other fields:
economics, ecology, science, philosophy and technology. Jorge Sousa Santos, a Portuguese architect, was born in 1971. Graduated from the Lusíada University of Lisbon in 1994. Designer at Manuel Tainha Office in Lisbon from 1994 to 1999. Master Degree in Contemporary Theory of Architecture at FAUTL (Technical University of Lisbon Faculty of Architecture) in 2002. Teaches Design Studio 3rd Grade in The Lusíada University of Lisbon from 1998.
