NOARQ - Jose Carlos Nunes de Oliveira

The office bases its practice in the attention, reflection and response. The  response is sustained by realism, because it is naturally critical; it is tolerant because it is creative; it is corageous and hard because it operates on the limits. The practice is committed with time and space, interrogation, inclusion and doubt.

​

NOARQ is the name of a willingness of doing and thinking by hands. Since 1998, the studio evolved into an area of research, creation and production by drawing: for the land, architecture and everyday objects. 

Today it is located in Trofa, but it still maintains its roots in Porto.
