José Pedro Ovelheiro Marques de Sousa

José Pedro Sousa is an architect with a diverse academic and professional background. He holds a degree in Architecture from the University of Porto’s Faculty of Architecture (FAUP, 1999), a Master’s in Genetic Architectures from the International University of Catalunya (UIC, 2002), and a PhD in Architecture from the University of Lisbon (UL, 2010). During his doctoral studies, he expanded his academic experience by attending MIT (Cambridge, MA, 2003) as a Special Student and serving as a Visiting Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn, Philadelphia, PA, 2005). Currently, José Pedro is an Associate Professor at FAUP, where he teaches courses in geometry, design computation, and digital fabrication in both the Master’s and Doctoral programs. He is the founder and director of the Digital Fabrication Lab (DFL), a research group within CEAU-FAUP that explores the influence of advanced digital technologies on architectural design and practice. He is currently leading research on modular construction (PRR funded R2U Technologies project), 3D construction printing and housing (collaboration with Havelar), augmented reality (AR) assisted fabrication, and material innovations using cork (collaboration with Amorim). José Pedro has also spearheaded pioneering research on the use of robotics in architecture in Portugal with a prior FCT funded research project, and his research with industrial companies such as Amorim and Mota Engil contributed to innovative market products and real building applications. His academic involvement extends to co-directing the Advanced Studies Program in Digital Architecture (CEAAD), a collaboration between FAUP and ISCTE/IUL. He also serves on FAUP’s Executive Board, overseeing innovation, entrepreneurship, internationalization, and ICT, and is a member of the Scientific Council of FAUP's Research Center, CEAU. Before joining FAUP, José Pedro held faculty positions at FCTUC (Coimbra), ESARQ-UIC (Barcelona), and IAAC (Barcelona). Over the past two decades, José Pedro has skillfully blended teaching, research, and practice, with a focus on the transformative potential of digital technologies in architecture. His work has been showcased at international conferences and lectures across Europe, the US, Singapore, Hong Kong, Brazil, and Australia, and has been published in prestigious academic journals and architectural magazines. He was Co-Chair of the eCAADe SIGraDi 2019 Conference, a significant event that united European and Ibero-American architectural research communities to discuss the impact of the 4th Industrial Revolution on architecture. Additionally, he co-edited two special issues of the International Journal of Architectural Computing (IJAC) on this theme. José Pedro's entrepreneurial efforts include co-founding two companies: ReD, a research and design studio that won awards such as the 2005 FEIDAD Award (Taiwan) and the NEOTEC Grant (2007), and OPOLab, the first FabLab in Portugal. His individual accomplishments include the Young Researcher Award from the University of Lisbon (2009) and the Pedagogic Innovation Project Award from the University of Porto (2017 and 2018). In 2020, José Pedro was elected a Council member of eCAADe, the european scientific organization dedicated to education and research on digital technologies in architecture. In 2021, he was appointed by the European Commission to the President Ursula von der Leyen's High-Level Roundtable for the New European Bauhaus movement, where he continues to contribute, launching initiatives such as the NEB Lab "NEB goes South."
