CREA designs projects of different scales, with different programs such as collective housing or socially driven facilities, with a focus on sustainability, circularity, and shared use.
SUMMARY
CREA is an architecture studio based in Porto and part of the Creative Sciences Hub at the University of Porto.
As a daily space for reflection and experimentation, we have been interested in exploring the permeability between different artistic and social expressions that complement and dissolve into architecture, and which acts as a medium where imaginaries and experiences are poured, transmuted into the context in which they are inserted.
This intersection is reflected in the projects of different scales that we develop, balancing between programs such as collective housing or socially driven facilities, with a focus on sustainability, circularity, and shared use.
PROBLEM
