Pedro Cavaco Leitão
(2016-17)
Graduated from the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto in 2003 with a thesis called “Os Sem-Casa”, dealing with the issue of homeless people, having since then collaborated in different projects that ranged from developing and working on urban planning to designing interiors and temporary spaces. Parallel to this I initiated the international collective Moradavaga in 2006 with fellow italian architect Manfred Eccli, dedicated to developing urban interventions, devising architectural happenings and designing and building ephemeral interactive installations. In 2012 completed my Master’s dissertation titled “Ephemeral Spaces: concepts, strategies & materials” which reflected on ephemeral architecture of a cultural nature and the contexts in which it is usually produced.
