I was awarded in 2011 with the Pedro Manuel Figueiredo Branco Prize and in 2012 with a Merit Scholarship of Universidade do Porto.
I got several honorable mentions: in 2014 in the Go!Architecture v05 Oficinas Sociais contest, with the Playmobil project; in 2011 in the Concurso Ibérico de Soluções para Construção PLADUR Colonização de Estruturas with the project Amanhã³ and in 2009 in the Go!Architecture v02 Cinemateca dos Guindais contest, with the project Linha.
I was a collaborator of the Cultural Department of AEFAUP in organizing workshops like Public Space or Scenic Space, performances, cinema cycles and musical shows.
In 2011 I was part of the collective Prática(s) de Arquitectura, producing the international conferences cycle Prática(s) de Arquitectura - Projeto | Investigação | Escrita and joining its research team.
