MARCO GOMES
ARCHITECT &
PROJECT COORDINATION
Architect from the Faculty of Architecture and Arts of the Universidade Lusíada de Lisboa (2011) he is the member of the creative team with more years of experience and is now our Project Coordinator, so everything goes through him!
Restless, idealistic and disconcerting, this cat lover has a curiosity that makes him passionate about all creative areas, which is why architecture appears on his horizon due to the transversal character of its interdisciplinarity.
After attending the architecture course, this belief is deepened by the study of architecture as a phenomenological event based on the adaptation of archetypal systems to the uniqueness of the territories in which they are inserted.
Since joining the .XPRESSION office (2014), he has focused on continuous synergistic learning, typical of teamwork between colleagues, technicians and customers.
In recent years, as a result of an expanded team and the maturing of knowledge, management and law in the field of architecture have become essential in the way in which it daily accepts the challenges of this fascinating area, which it executes with a brio that is difficult to match.
It is governed by the saying “who goes to sea, flies on land” and is our captain on the high seas and our lighthouse in the midst of great storms!
