Short bio
Jorge Sousa Santos was born in 1971 and graduated in Architecture in 1994 from the Universidade Lúsiada de Lisboa. He worked with architect Manuel Taínha from 1994 to 1999. He obtained a Master's degree in Contemporary Architectural Culture from the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Lisbon in 2002. He has been a lecturer in Design at the Universidade Lúsiada de Lisboa since 1998 and a visiting teacher at the Architectural Association in London in 2003.

Jorge Sousa Santos is a portuguese architect and founder of the studio Sousasantos Arquitectos, based in Lisbon.

His projects, recognised nationally and internationally, show a sensitive and innovative approach, deeply rooted in their context.
Long bio
Jorge Sousa Santos is a portuguese architect who has had his own studio in Lisbon, Sousasantos Arquitectos. With a practice that crosses the fields of design, research and critical thinking, Sousa Santos has consolidated a unique path in the contemporary architectural panorama.
From an early age, he showed an interest in how built space shapes human experience and how architecture can serve as a bridge between culture, landscape and technology. His approach is characterised by constant attention to the physical, social and historical context and by a language that oscillates between formal purification and the poetics of construction.
Projects such as the Y House in Óbidos reveal a constant restlessness in testing the limits of architectural design, transforming each work into an exercise in reflection on perception, use and everyday life. His intervention in the Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro Secondary School shows his ability to operate on different scales and programmes, always with a deep awareness of the social responsibility of architecture.
Over the years, Jorge Sousa Santos has combined his professional practice with participation in exhibitions and publications, where he shares his thoughts on the discipline. His work is recognised for its conceptual clarity, technical rigour and the way he always seeks to generate meaning through space.

Biografia longa
Jorge Sousa Santos é um arquiteto português com atelier próprio, em Lisboa, Sousasantos Arquitectos. Com uma prática que cruza os campos do projeto, da investigação e do pensamento crítico, Sousa Santos tem vindo a consolidar um percurso singular no panorama arquitetónico contemporâneo.
Desde cedo demonstrou interesse pelo modo como o espaço construído molda a experiência humana e como a arquitetura pode servir de ponte entre cultura, paisagem e tecnologia. A sua abordagem distingue-se por uma constante atenção ao contexto físico, social e histórico e por uma linguagem que oscila entre a depuração formal e a poética da construção.
Projetos como a Y House, em Óbidos, revelam uma inquietação constante em testar os limites do desenho arquitetónico, transformando cada obra num exercício de reflexão sobre a perceção, o uso e o quotidiano. A sua intervenção na Escola Secundária Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro evidencia, por sua vez, a capacidade de operar em escalas e programas diversos, sempre com uma profunda consciência da responsabilidade social da arquitetura.
Ao longo dos anos, Jorge Sousa Santos tem conciliado a prática profissional com a participação em exposições e publicações, onde partilha o seu pensamento sobre a disciplina. O seu trabalho é reconhecido pela clareza conceptual, rigor técnico e pelo modo como procura sempre gerar sentido através do espaço.
