about
Paulo Vale Afonso Architecture Studio is an architecture studio based in Porto, founded and directed by Paulo do Vale Afonso.
We consider architecture to be a creative process and cultural production working on space, territory and society, rooted deep within its context and time. We believe that architecture is a collective work based on collaboration and cooperation between individuals.
We work on the basis of collaborative working networks, on what we like to call Collaborative Creative Process.
