In a world of lines, geometries and shapes, CURO<\/b> it's a creative refuge. Here we delve into the personal stories of those who dream of having their project, transforming spaces, not just into built volumes, but into places that echo your individuality.<\/p>

Behind each design stage, there is always someone to guide and help you throughout the process.
I invite you to get to know me and connect with my story.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

At CURO<\/b>, it is assumed that Architecture is not a luxury, it is a right. CURO<\/b> has its space, its way of being, social care and its impulse to give something to the community.<\/b><\/p>\n

At CURO<\/b> there is sharing, expansion of your story and drawing new paths every morning.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2021, the studio was the escape valve to materialize projects that were hidden in drawers. The core of CURO<\/b> is to rethink the act of dwelling, making houses, objects and projects a possible idea. <\/b><\/p>\n

Serious, colourless and soulless architecture finds a healing space here.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Ana was born an architect. She earned her Master\u2019s degree from the University of Coimbra and the Universit\u00e0 degli Studi Roma Tre, and is currently a PhD candidate at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto (FAUP).<\/p>

In 2025, she received a a doctoral research grant from Casa da Arquitectura<\/strong>, further strengthening the connection between practice and research.<\/p>

But the truth is, Ana had been an architect since she was little: in her childhood, she designed dreams and played with colours.<\/p>

As a young adult, she devised plans to get to where she is today and, now, she devises paths to go further. This because: Being an architect is like being a poet: inherent to the human being.<\/b><\/p>

A happily immutable role, a welcome sentence. Ana says: 'the architect is a creator and the work is born from his\/hers first thought'.<\/p>

That creation is life. It's like A(i)R-chitecture.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
