Architect João Mendes Ribeiro’s practice follows from his university teachings to his presence in national and international exhibitions, including multiple appearances at the Venice Biennale. Besides projects, renovations, and set and object design, Ribeiro’s work is recognised for its great precision and deep respect for both the preservation of historical and cultural heritage and the establishment of new realities. Ten projects were selected to represent his work in this issue, covering different contexts, scales, kinds, and applications. These include the Centre for Visual Arts in Coimbra, the Torre de Palma Wine Hotel in the Alentejo region, and the Roman Baths in São Pedro do Sul.
