Nuno Tavares da Costa (1975, Lisboa) is an architect and a researcher. He studied Architecture at FA-UTL and holds a PhD in Architecture of Contemporary Metropolitan Territories from ISCTE-IUL, with a thesis on the genealogy of Paulo Mendes da Rocha's thinking, elaborated through the study of the new National Carriage Museum, a project which he coordinated. He is Senior Project Architect at Bak Gordon Arquitectos since the studio foundation in 2002. Over more than two decades of licensed practice, he planned, designed, managed, and ensure on-site supervision for more than 50 projects (some award-winning), in the areas of housing, education, and public equipment, both in Portugal and abroad.
He is also an integrated PhD researcher at DINÂMIA’CET-IUL, in the group Cities and Territories. His main interest lies in architecture as a reasoning process, reconciling practice and research. His studies address the relations between architecture and construction practice with the questions of history and consciousness (ethics), with a particular interest in Europe and Brazil, addressing those related to expressions of resistance, insurgency, or intellectual disobedience, as criticism and political commitments for cultural change.
