About

Student of Architecture and Urbanism at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), with experience in research, extension projects, and academic mentoring at TRAMA UFPB's Model Architecture and Urbanism Office and the PAGETS group (Applied Research on Management and Work for Sustainability). Research in ecological innovation and sustainability projects, focusing on biomaterials such as mycelium and plant-based bioplastics for architecture in tropical climates, as well as initiatives preserving João Pessoa's cultural heritage. My academic interests span various fields of architecture and urbanism, with a focus on regenerative cities, post-disaster and post-conflict urban reconstruction, and the development of biomaterials for sustainable construction. I am also interested in traditional timber joinery construction systems, modular construction techniques without metal fasteners, sustainable vernacular architecture, and low-impact construction methods. Additionally, I have a strong interest in Japanese architecture, particularly in areas such as traditional wooden construction techniques (including complex joinery systems like sashimono and kigumi), the integration of nature and built environments, adaptable and flexible interior spaces, and contemporary sustainable approaches that blend tradition with innovation in Japanese architectural practice.
