He comes from a humble family, workers from the Picheleira area of Lisbon. He started as a locksmith, but the beginning of his career as an architect happened only when he started working in the studios of Nuno Teotónio Pereira and Francisco da Conceição Silva, for whom he had a great admiration. He also worked as a designer for architects such as Francisco Keil do Amaral. In the 60's he attended architecture at the Escola Superior de Belas Artes, in Lisbon. After graduation, he traveled to Boston, USA, where he completed a postgraduate degree in Regional and Urban Planning as part of her PhD programs at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He created his own studio soon after graduating, in 1971. He divided his professional activity between urbanism, architecture and design, being a symbol on the postmodernism of Portuguese architecture, with mirrored buildings, bold and colourful geometric elements. Some of his most emblematic works are the socially-oriented urban complex in the former Zona J of Chelas, the Amoreiras commercial and residential complex, the Encosta das Olaias residential area, the headquarters of the Banco Nacional Ultramarino, currently the Caixa Geral de Deposits, IADE Building (Faculdade de Design, Tecnologia e Comunicação), Palmela Village, Alvalade XXI Stadium, Aveiro Municipal Stadium, Leiria Municipal Stadium, Olaias Metro Station, Record Store and Factory Valentim de Carvalho, the Hotel da Balaia and the Castilho Building. He was a professor at various institutions. In 1973, he began teaching at the Faculdade de Arquitectura of Universidade Técnica de Lisboa, where he taught until September 2003, already a guest professor. He also taught at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa and California State Politecnic University. He has also received several awards. In 1984 he received the Valmor Prize and the Municipal City of Lisbon Prize for the Olaias housing complex, the Valmor Prize and the Municipal Architecture Prize in 1993 for the Amoreiras Complex and the Valmor Prize Honorable Mention in 1994 for the headquarters of the Banco Nacional Ultramarino. He also wrote some important articles in several newspapers and magazines, such as "Domus", "Progressive Architecture", "A + U" and "Arquitectura Portuguesa", and also published some books, including the Estudo de Renovação Urbana na Área do Martim Moniz, which won the José de Figueiredo award of the Academy of Fine Arts in 1982. He was a member of the International Association of Art Critics (IAAC) and has left work not only all over Portugal, but also in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Macau, Angola and Cape Verde.
