lúcio santos: folded surface cladding

Lúcio Santos graduated from the Architectural Association Design Research Lab [DRL] post-graduate program in 2005 receiving a Master of Architecture and Urbanism, and the New Jersey School of Architecture [NJIT] in 2003 where he received a Bachelor of Architecture degree.

His work experience spans both the US and Europe where he has worked on projects ranging from high-end residential additions and housing complexes to pedestrian bridges, hotels, football stadiums and cultural pavilions. His interest in design as a process of formal experimentation has developed a varied body of work which is constantly evolving.

Lúcio has worked for Zaha Hadid Architects on the Zaragoza Bridge Pavilion for the 2008 World Expo from schematic design to the production of construction drawings. He was in charge of rationalizing the 3d geometry and overall design development of the bridge, where he worked closely with Arup London and Spanish steel fabricators, developing the primary structure and substructure to produce a repetitive system of panelization for the curved façade. Lúcio worked for the office of Farjadi Architects in London & SOM in New York as a Senior Designer, and is currently an Architect with FXFOWLE International Studio.

In 2004, Lúcio and his team presented their post-graduate design research thesis at the ‘Future Environments’ series held by onedotzero8 at the Institute of Contemporary Arts [ICA], London. He has been a guest critic at the AA and Columbia University.
