This was a house. A very funny house.*
*Intro to brazilian poet Vinicius de Moraes's 'A casa' (1980)
Come on in and feel sustainable.
It goes beyond construction.
It goes through the way...
We breathe.
We clean.
|
We Decorate.
We eat.
We electrify.
|
We commute.
We connect.

amongst others...
My story.
Daniela Pinto de Andrade

It all started when I applied for the Architecture course, at my first choice of university which then invited me for an open day where I was told that the course would take 6 years to complete. Fearful, I changed my strategy and found a course offered at the same faculty, Sustainable Built Environment. I continued in the field of sustainability, with a master's degree in Sustainable Building Technology, and immediately after started working as a sustainability consultant. And do you remember those 6 years from the beginning of history? Well, it looks like I'm going to complete them when I conclude my PhD in Sustainable Energy Systems!
Stumbled upon sustainability by chance, but decided to pursue it further for the mission of transforming built environments increasingly sustainable.
Projects.

01.Sustainable Built Environment.The built environment is everything around us, as globalisation increases and the rural exodus intensifies, cities will become more populated. Creating a sustainable built environment will enable us to live more closely to the promise of not compromising future generations and also to nourish present ones.
|
02.Democratisation of Sustainability.One of the objectives is to "democratise" sustainability i.e.: make sustainability known to all so it's not a premium but the new baseline standard of construction. Thus, having knowledge on the applicability of sustainability will enrich our horizons to figure out alternatives to the damaging ways we conduct our lives nowadays.
