About 

Hello, 

My name is Caroline Rocha Bastos, I’m a Brazilian architect and urban planner, by The Federal University of Paraná with a master degree in conservation and restoration of heritage by the Federal University of Bahia/UNESCO (2020).   

I´m deeply passioned about historical sites, buildings and cultural heritage. During my professional life I was able to work with different kind of sites and historical objects. I worked as an intern in the historical heritage department of city hall of São José dos Pinhais, and collaborated in the "Ancient architecture guide of São José dos Pinhais" (2012). I also was an intern at private companies, such as the construction company Kimura Bastos (2016).

In addition, I received a scholarship from the Science Without Borders program, in the "Conservation of Cultural Heritage - BA (Hons)course” at Lincoln University, UK. During the course I joined extracurricular projects such as the restoration of the royal panels of Windsor Castle, the restoration of the Saint Anne's chapel (by architect Willian Butterfield) and in the semi-annual exhibition of projects restored by students. During the exchange I was member of AA London School and participated in a Workshop in Muxagata, Portugal, which main object was promoting cultural interventions in the city’s historic oven (2015).

My interests are in the area of research, history of architecture, projects with historical buildings, cultural heritage, diagnosis and restoration and conservation of buildings.

I have availability to work remotely or travel abroad!
