Biography
Bárbara Rangel, assistant professor at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, is an architect with an MSc in Construction and a PhD in Civil Engineering. She started her career with Rafael Moneo and Álvaro Siza and began her own work in 1996. Her research covers architecture and engineering in integrated project design, 3D printing for construction and modular construction, around which she has published and edited more than 120 works.
Ana Sofia Guimarães, is an associate professor at the Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering in the University of Porto. She specialises in building physics and technologies, pathology and rehabilitation. She has been the Coordinator of the ID Unit CONSTRUCT–LFC, and has also been involved in several projects, international books, chapters and papers. She has been the recipient of more than 20 pedagogical and scientific awards.
João Teixeira, an industrial and product designer and PhD student in Civil Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, has been working on the exploration of 3DCP textures in the construction sector. He explores the built environment from an interdisciplinary lens regarding the materiality and sustainability of 3DCP technology. Within this concept, he has published research focusing on the innovative development of industrial waste materials for 3DP.
