AMAG PT 05 features the work of AURORA ARQUITECTOS, a portuguese architecture practice from the new generation.
Founded in 2010 by Sofia Couto and Sérgio Antunes, the studio works on projects of a variety of scales, from small houses to multifamily residential buildings, as well as cultural facilities. Recently, the most developed theme is urban regeneration, which is the focus of the studio’s specialisation and research.
In its approach, it is particularly important the reaction to the site, what to do with the existing construction’s space and elements (sometimes, centuries old). The challenge is, therefore, to interpret, scrutinize, copy, distort and even ironize those raw materials, giving them back to the site in a new and unexpecting way.
