Interview with the architect Paula Santos
On January 16, 2020, we interviewed the architect Paula Santos. During an interesting conversation, he told us how he came to architecture, went over his professional career and talked about the challenges for the future of the profession in Portugal. In another format, the dialogue was extended and continued at the Roca Lisboa Gallery as part of the "Espaço para arquitetas" (Space/Place for Architects) conversation cycle. The 9th session was dedicated to the presentation of architectural projects carried out in the "paula santos | arquitectura" atelier and moderated by Patrícia Santos Pedrosa (MA).
We thank Roca Lisboa Gallery for providing the space for the interview. And we thank architect Paula for her generosity and availability. We hope to meet soon!
Interview with the architect Ana Jara
On November 29, we doubled the field trips and took advantage of the day to hear two Portuguese architects, from different generations and with different professional backgrounds. After the morning dedicated to the architect Inês Lobo, we interviewed the architect Ana Jara in Lisbon, within the scope of the research project W@ARCH.PT and the participation of the team in the elaboration of contents of a future global encyclopedia about women in architecture (BGEWIA, 2021).

Artéria was one of the first architectural firms founded by two women in Portugal.

Interview with the architect Helena Roseta
Women are generally absent from the official sources and texts of History. Oral history has been an essential component of collecting and making Women's History. Interviews are a privileged method of the W@ARCH.PT research project because they allow women to speak with their own voice. And we want to listen!
On 23 October 2019 we interviewed Portuguese architect and politician Helena Roseta. She received us kindly in her office of the Lisbon Municipal Assembly during the last days when she served as President of this municipal institution. As part of the research project W@ARCH.PT and BGEWIA, we talked about the academic path, the references and the long and varied professional carreer.
We thank architect Helena for her generosity and availability. We hope to meet soon!
