Contacto Atl\u00e2ntico"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Andr\u00e9 Caiado was born in Lisbon in 1967 and trained as an architect at the Universidade T\u00e9cnica de Lisboa, graduating in 1990. From Lisbon he moved to Madrid, to the Escuela T\u00e9cnica Superior de Arquitectura, where he completed a master&#8217;s degree in Computing for Architecture, Urban Planning and Real Estate Management and, in 1995, defended his doctoral thesis on Intelligent Building Technologies with the highest distinction \u2014 <em>cum laude<\/em>. During those years he worked in parallel as an architect at IBM and Telef\u00f3nica, a dual experience that shaped from the outset his understanding of the discipline: as a practice that integrates technical knowledge, constructive intelligence and the strategic dimension of the project.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Back in Lisbon, he led the Environment and Architecture departments at Novodesign and taught at various universities for more than two decades. In 1996 he founded Contacto Atl\u00e2ntico in Estoril. What began as an architecture studio has grown, over thirty years, into a multidisciplinary firm with dozens of specialists covering every field linked to the construction project: architecture, engineering, urban planning, interior design, landscape architecture and architectural visualisation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Contacto Atl\u00e2ntico has built a diverse body of work, with projects for national and international clients. Among its most recognised references are the <em>Di\u00e1rio de Not\u00edcias<\/em> building \u2014 awarded on several occasions \u2014 and the intervention in the Quarteir\u00e3o do Rossio, within Lisbon&#8217;s built heritage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Beyond professional practice, Andr\u00e9 Caiado takes an active part in disciplinary debate at a global scale: he lectures on architecture across different countries and advises the European Commission as an expert in the evaluation of urban energy efficiency projects under the FP7 and Horizon 2020 programmes. He has also served on the executive board of BUILT CoLAB, the Portuguese platform for R&amp;D and digitalisation in the construction sector.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Three decades of work have established at Contacto Atl\u00e2ntico a studio culture that combines technical rigour, project management capacity and attentiveness to place. An architecture that cannot be understood apart from its context \u2014 geographical, climatic, heritage \u2014 and that finds in the intelligence of the constructive process its most distinctive form of expression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":65789,"template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","editor_plus_copied_stylings":"{}","footnotes":""},"categorias-profesionales":[1322],"class_list":["post-65791","profesionales","type-profesionales","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categorias-profesionales-architects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profesionales\/65791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profesionales"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profesionales"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profesionales\/65791\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":65793,"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profesionales\/65791\/revisions\/65793"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categorias-profesionales","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exagono.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categorias-profesionales?post=65791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
