Pedro Ravara represented Portugal at the 8th São Paulo Architecture Biennial and was Cass Gilbert Visiting Professor at the University of Minnesota, two distinctions that few architects of his generation hold. He was born in Lisbon in 1964 and earned his architecture degree at the Technical University of Lisbon in 1988. With a Fulbright scholarship he completed a master’s degree at the State University of New York between 1991 and 1993, and in 2008 he earned his doctorate in Lisbon, where he is a professor at the Faculty of Architecture; in 1998 he was Cass Gilbert Visiting Professor at the University of Minnesota. In 1991 he founded the studio BAIXA with Nuno Vidigal, and with him he represented Portugal at the 8th São Paulo Architecture Biennial in 2009. His screen print is the densest in the album: a crowd of faces and bodies drawn with a single continuous line that fills almost the entire sheet. It is sold out at CPS.
