Antonio Mesquita has always been curious, a curiosity that has led him to join established international practices such as EM2N (2015) and ATP (2021), while at the same time exploring the freedom and agility of smaller studios such as DAM, which he co-founded in 2020, and EXPERIMENTAL, which he joined alongside Elói Gonçalves in 2024, after several years of partial collaboration.

The academic environment has naturally been part of this ongoing exploration. In 2024, he led a studio at ISCTE with Elói Gonçalves and Filipe Magalhães, and has delivered lectures and/or critiques at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto (FAUP), the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Lisbon (FAUL), and ETH Zürich. He also participated in several editions of Porto Academy between 2022 and 2024.

Alongside his architectural practice, he has been developing a photographic research project titled SUPERMODELS/SUPERNORMALS. Part of it was exhibited for the first time at Schallfenster in Zürich in 2024.
