For more than twenty years, I have explored Portugal and the world through writing, travel and storytelling, with articles published in national and international press and a TV Show dedicated to hospitality and culture, filmed in Portugal, Amsterdam and New York.

This is my digital portfolio, a curated hospitality, culture, heritage, lifestyle and travel collection of places, people, stories and experiences, from Portugal and beyond.

Aires Mateus ganha concurso para Mesquita em Bordéus

Aires Mateus Mesquite Bordeaux Fédération de la Gironde Musulmane 1

O arquitecto Aires Mateus ganhou o concurso da Fédération de la Gironde Musulmane para o Centro Muçulmano de Bordeaux. A proposta portuguesa venceu quatro gabinetes de arquitectura franceses: o Poly Rythmic Architecure, o atelier Lion Associés, o atelier Marjan Hessamfar-Joe Verons Architectes,e o arquitecto Éric Lapierre. A notícia chegou-me pelo ArchDaily e o projecto ao contrário das formas mais vulgares das mesquitas apresenta-se com formas ondulantes. Gosto muito.
