PROFILE

Estudio ods
is a Portuguese architecture studio established in the Algarve in 2010. It was founded by the duo of architects Marlene dos Santos (1983) and Bruno Oliveira (1982), united by their common practice of architecture, which combines rigorous conception with critical methodologies and forms of reflection.

In the studio, each project serves as a pretext for conducting research, seeking simple and efficient solutions that enhance the specific characteristics of each location, where ideas are expressed through drawings and models of various scales.

Both hold a Master's degree in Advanced Architectural Projects from ETSAM, Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid (2011), and have a degree in Architecture from the School of Arts of the University of Évora (2006).

Since 2022, they have combined their professional activity with teaching at the Department of Architecture of the School of Arts of the University of Évora.
