aro arquitectos is an architecture studio created by two young architects, Carolina and Bráulio, in Lisbon 2020.
The idea of Teamwork was born in university days, as we always sought to bring architecture’s core values throughout the development of our projects.
We believe the secret to the success of our work lies in teamwork, and in the knowhow each member can add to the project. In this way, a personalized Work Method is created, adapted to each new project, which, based on the ideas and particular needs of each client, will allow us to achieve proposals with a high identity of its own. In this way, the quality of the final product is guaranteed, in the measure of attention to detail and monitoring during the construction phase, factors that we consider to be decisive in our action.
Adding to these factors, our studio is also focused on the Theoretical Research of Architecture. Quoting the architect Manuel Tainha; “An architect should be able to talk about his work” – and so, the conception of our projects strives to bond building technology, with historical and theoretical knowledge.
The studio also aims to increase the importance of the Architectural Travel, highlighting the spatial experience that is apprehended when traveling or recording certain architectural objects, which despite their weathering, remain timeless historic references.
Recognizing the true character of space and shape specific to a particular form of architecture allows for the application of the same principles in contemporary architecture. A “Discovery” registered in a drawing or photograph, remaining consciously or unconsciously present, in the work ethos of our studio.
