Pedro Machado Costa (1972) - Sin título

Pedro Machado Costa has shown his work at the Venice Architecture Biennale, the Boijmans van Beuningen Museum and the Architectural Association in London, and his buildings have been shortlisted for the Mies van der Rohe Award. He was born in Lourenço Marques, now Maputo, in 1972. He graduated from the Porto Faculty of Architecture in 1996, also trained at TU Delft and in Paris, and earned his master’s degree in Lisbon in 2004. Since 1997 he has run the practice a.s* atelier de santos, whose work has been shortlisted for the Mies van der Rohe and Secil awards, was a FAD finalist and won the Arquinfad members’ award in 2007. He has exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale, IVAM in Valencia, the Boijmans van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam and the Architectural Association in London, and teaches projects at ISCTE-IUL in Lisbon and in Madrid. His serigraphy is the most intimate in the album: the author himself lying in bed, viewed from his feet, with the window and the room’s bookshelf in the background.

Serigraphy original in two colors by Pedro Machado Costa, printed in 2014 at the Atelier CPS in Lisbon on Fabriano Tiepolo 290 g/m² paper, sheet 70 × 50 cm (27.6 × 19.7 inches) and a 42.5 × 29.2 cm image. A black line drawing on a light-gray rectangle: crossed legs on the bed in the foreground and, in the background, the window and a bookshelf.

Belongs to the album 12 Serigrafias de Arquitect@s, published in 2014 by the Centro Português de Serigrafia (CPS) and the Ordem dos Arquitectos de Portugal, curated by architect Manuel Graça Dias.
