Teatro Rivoli

It was inaugurated in 1913 as a National Theatre. In the following years, changes in the urban centre forced a reconsideration and update of the building and thus Teatro Rivoli came to be, in 1923 – refurbished, adapted as a movie theatre, with a programme of opera, dance, theatre and concerts. Architect and engineer Júlio Brito signed the project. In 1994 it was closed for a complete refurbishment, with a project by architect Pedro Ramalho. In October 1997, Rivoli reopened its doors. Presently, Rivoli hosts the national and international programme of Teatro Municipal do Porto with a particular focus on dance, theatre, music, puppetry, contemporary circus and film, along with some of the city’s main events.

Bast

Bureau Architectures Sans Titre was founded in Toulouse in 2013. Since then, an anonymous approach and a proactive research posture has been adopted to experiment with the diverse potentialities of each project. At each step of the design, solutions are found and contiguously questioned in an iterative way. As a result, projects don’t follow a formal method, but instead develop in an evolutionary process that defines the identity of the office.

Gafpa

GAFPA was established in 2008 by architects Floris De Bruyn, Philippe De Berlangeer and Frederick Verschueren, shortly after finishing their studies at Sint-Lucas in Gent. The architectural firm from Gent is known for its pragmatic approach. They dismantle an existing context and transform it into a new reality. This method of systematic deconstruction results invariably in new interpretations of architecture, a vocabulary all of their own.
GAFPA intervenes on different levels, ranging from private houses to public buildings, from urban design operations to scenography. The multidisciplinary firm doesn’t limit itself to house-building projects, but also regularly competes in international contest commissions.
GAFPA was included in the ‘Architects Directory 2016’ of Wallpaper* Magazine. Weekend House G1106 got a special mention at the Belgian Building Awards 2015 and more recently G1203 won the Belgian Timber Construction Award 2020 for the reconversion of an industrial site into a family house.
GAFPA was invited to join 10 other international architecture firms at Porto Academy 2017 at FAUP to lead a studio. In 2020 GAFPA made a contribution to the international conference ‘The State of the Art of Architecture’ at Triennale Milano.

Tom de Paor

dePaor is an architectural practice based in Ireland. Established in 1991, the practice seeks for design to communicate spatially and in detail regardless of programme or location. Underpinned by a conviction in the creative design process and international in its outlook, the work illustrates a concern with perception, construction and tradition. Innovative, strategically small and without specialisation, the practice is interested in architectural design across the scales and from first principles. With a concern for environmental, social and economic sustainability, the work is informed by sensitivity to context, the material experience of construction and light.
The portfolio has been internationally recognised, with multiple industry awards since the visitor building at Ballincollig, Co. Cork, a commission won in 1991. The practice has expanded its expertise to a diverse range of projects in the public realm culminating most recently in an art house cinema complex in Galway, Ireland. Its public client list includes Cork County Council, Dublin City Council, Galway City Council, the Office of Public Works of Ireland, the Department of Foreign Affairs of Ireland, the Hugh Lane Gallery Dublin, the Arts Council of Ireland, the Arts Council of England, Centro West Midlands Rail, the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, the Hillside Gallery Tokyo and La Biennale di Venezia.

Partners since the beginning of the 2000s, Renata Furlanetto and Suzana Glogowski direct the architecture team and sign most of the designs. The architect Mariana Simas, partner since 2008, is the executive director leading the new projects, human resources, finance and communications teams.
The architects of the team, great admirers of the Brazilian modernism generation, seek to fulfill the task of rethinking and giving continuity to this iconic architectural movement. The projects of Studio MK27 place value on formal simplicity and are elaborated with extreme care and attention to details.
Since 2001, when he started a co-creation and cooperative work system at the office, studio mk27 has won more than 250 national and international awards, such as: IAB (Institute of Brazilian Architects), São Paulo Architectural Biennial, WAF, Architectural Review, Dedalo Minosse, Record House, Leaf, D&AD, Spark, Barbara Cappochin, Iconic, AZ, Buenos Aires Ibero-american Architectural Biennial, Wallpaper Design Award and Prix Versailles. MK27 represented Brazil at the Venice Biennale of 2012.
Kogan and the directors have lectured and workshopped at the Royal Academy of Arts, AIA, Société Française des Architectes, Clubovka, FAUUSP, Mackenzie, FAAP, Politecnico di Milano, Mantova, Porto Academy, Verona, Valencia, South Florida, Rice, Texas, Cornell and Yale universities among others. In 2025 Studio mk27 will represent Brazil at Expo Osaka, designing the new edition of the pavilion.

Oliver Lütjens

After a joint stint at Diener & Diener Architekten, Oliver Lütjens and Thomas Padmanabhan opened their own practice in Zürich, in 2007.

They aim to design distinctive facades that emerge from the ambient anonymity. In collaboration with Caruso St John Architects, the pair is currently working on a residential complex in Zürich that includes 100 apartments, office spaces and a childcare facility, as well as on the Swiss embassy building in Algeria.
In addition to their architectural work, Lütjens and Padmanabhan have actively taught at ETH Zürich, TU of Munich and EPF Lausanne. They are currently Visiting Critics at the Harvard Graduate School of Design.

Philippe De Berlangeer

Belgian architecture office GAFPA was established in 2008 by architects Floris De Bruyn, Philippe De Berlangeer and Frederick Verschueren, shortly after finishing their studies at Sint-Lucas in Ghent. The architectural firm from Ghent is known for its pragmatic approach. They dismantle an existing context and transform it into a new reality. This method of systematic deconstruction results invariably in new interpretations of architecture, a vocabulary all of their own.
GAFPA intervenes on different levels, ranging from private houses to public buildings, from urban design operations to scenography. The multidisciplinary firm doesn’t limit itself to house-building projects, but also regularly competes in international contest commissions. They were featured in the Wallpaper 2016 architects directory.

Ivo Tavares Studio

Ivo Tavares Studio is a photography studio specialized in architecture, dedicated to creating images that capture the essence of spaces.

With an approach that combines documentary rigor and artistic sensitivity, the studio works closely with architects, designers, and institutions, contributing to the communication and appreciation of their projects.

The practice of the studio is built on two main pillars: the observation of light as a structuring element of the image and the pursuit of visual narratives that go beyond mere documentation. Each photograph seeks not only to record a building but also to convey the atmosphere, the experience, and the impact of the space on its urban or natural surroundings.

Over the years, Ivo Tavares Studio has consolidated its presence in the national scene, with projects widely published in leading international magazines and platforms. Its work aims not only to promote contemporary architecture but also to expand its cultural reach, strengthening the visibility of Portuguese architectural production worldwide.

Margres

Gres Panaria Portugal S.A. was established in 2006, when the second industrial unit of the Panaria Group in Portugal was acquired. Gres Panaria S.A., integrated in the prestigious Italian group Panariagroup Industrie Ceramiche S.p.A, is one of the worldwide reference ceramic companies.
Margres is one of the leading brands in the porcelain stoneware for floorings and coatings sector. It started production in its industrial unit of Ílhavo, in 1982, being then one of the first porcelain stoneware factories in the world.
Margres is exclusively dedicated to the production of porcelain stoneware, a premium product providing solutions for any type of construction in private or public spaces due to its high technical advantages. The features that make this product unique stem from the use of the most modern state-of-the art technology, high quality raw materials and an aesthetic concern that meets the contemporary architecture’s demands.
Margres is a reference brand in the domestic market and has a great presence in the international market.
In 2002 Panariagroup purchased the first industrial unit in Portugal, located in Ílhavo, manufacturing materials, namely for Maronagres, today called Margres.
Afterwards, the second industrial unit in Aveiro was purchased in 2005, a unit that manufactured materials for Novagres, which changed the name to Love Tiles in 2008, after a rebranding action.
These two industrial units have an installed capacity of 8 million m2/year. Gres Panaria Portugal S.A. employs about 400 people.
With a commercial structure of 70 agents and 8 promoters, present in more than 113 countries spread across the five continents, it provides support to a broad range of over 2000 clients.

Besides the production and administrative units, the brands also have their own showrooms in Aveiro and Lisbon.

PANORAMAH!

With surfaces above 98% structural glass, minimalist windows are all about glazing. From an industrial point of view, more significant glass dimensions require larger tempering furnaces, smooth operability and technical performances impose precision and higher quality standards, often more demanding than defined by international glass processing norms.
To keep up with new challenges, panoramah! verticalized its industrial activity and integrated glass transformation in 2011. Continuously investing in its transformation capacity ever since, it became one of the largest glass transformers in Europe with a 9-metre furnace and the ability to process double- and triple-glazed units up to 29 sqm. This capacity has proved critical in different processes, mainly as glass progressively absorbs new functions, admits irregular and curved shapes or assumes various aesthetic requirements.
panoramah! is currently the only manufacturer of minimalist windows in the world that processes and manufactures the main components of its systems, having full control and accountability over the entire process. From design to manufacture and installation, we answer for the complete system, both glass and aluminium. We streamlined glass transformation, adaptation to the system and transportation to the job site, rendering an apparently risky and complex procedure into an everyday job.
Furthermore, with built experience in over 60 different countries and a strong network of more than 50 certified specialized partners, panoramah! is effectively present throughout the globe. Supported by our team, this network is composed by fully experienced technicians that ensure a constant presence at all stages, from glazing consulting to installation and long-term maintenance.
