Architect Comporta – The main concerns

5 de September, 2025 | Mjarc

The main concerns of an architect when intervening in a natural territory – Comporta and Melides Intervening in natural territories is always a challenge. More than thinking about the building itself, it is necessary to understand the landscape, fragile ecosystems, and the way the place is lived. Every decision impacts the environment, people, and the […]

Architecture and Urbanism: urban planning as the foundation for sustainable architecture

27 de August, 2025 | Mjarc

Architecture and urbanism are inseparable disciplines that play a crucial role in creating cities that are more sustainable, functional and inclusive. As architects, we rarely have the opportunity to choose the location of a project. In most cases, the site, whether urban, suburban, brownfield or greenfield, has already been defined before our involvement. Nevertheless, particularly […]

Architectural Services: Far Beyond the Project

12 de August, 2025 | Mjarc

When discussing architectural services, it is still common to associate the architect’s work solely with drawing plans or signing off on projects. However, the architect’s role is broad and multidisciplinary, covering every stage of a construction or rehabilitation process, from the preliminary analysis prior to property acquisition to the coordination and supervision of construction works.

Key Considerations in Architectural Project Simulation

4 de August, 2025 | Mjarc

The simulation of architectural projects, particularly through 3D modelling and rendering, has become an essential tool in contemporary practice. More than mere illustrative images, these simulations make it possible to anticipate and clearly communicate the materiality, spatial quality, and functional behaviour of a building still in its design phase. Through accurate three-dimensional modelling, architects can […]

Sustainable Architecture: principles and contemporary challenges

20 de July, 2025 | Mjarc

Sustainable architecture is increasingly positioned as a vital response to the global climate crisis. By integrating ecological considerations into the design of buildings and cities, this approach seeks to minimise environmental impacts throughout the entire building life cycle, from early design to use, maintenance, and eventual deconstruction. While the term “sustainability” has gained prominence in […]

Construction Planning: From Vision to Built Reality

10 de July, 2025 | Mjarc

Every building begins with a plan. Behind each successful project lies a rigorous planning process that aligns ideas, resources, and timelines with the aim of turning a design into a built reality. Construction planning means organising, anticipating, and coordinating all stages of the construction process to ensure that the final result meets the design intent, […]

Architecture vs. Engineering: two worlds that build together

3 de July, 2025 | Mjarc

At the origin of every building lies a meeting point between two fundamental fields: architecture and engineering. Distinct in essence, yet complementary in practice, these disciplines become inseparable when the aim is to build with quality, sensitivity, and technical precision. From rudimentary shelters to contemporary cities, the history of construction mirrors the evolution of humankind, […]

Restoration of Old Houses: Advantages and Support

16 de June, 2025 | Mjarc

Old houses have a unique historical and architectural heritage that sets them apart from modern dwellings. The restoration of old houses is an effective way to preserve this heritage while reducing the environmental footprint, as it makes use of much of the existing materials, maintains the original integrity of the building, and helps to perpetuate […]
