Paulo Manta Pereira (Lisbon, 1964) obtained his degree in Architecture at the Technical University of Lisbon (FAUTL, 1991) and defended his PhD thesis at ISCTE – IUL (2013). He practices architecture at Lisbon Municipality (since 2000), and both as evaluator and author, he has repercussed his scientific skills in projects of requalification of public space, urban design and architecture, mostly, in the housing sector. Convinced in the contemporary relevance of the thought and work of Raul Lino (1879-1974) he has expanded new problems and interpretations contained on his research within the scientific community.
