João José Santos holds a B. Arch and M. Arch from Escola Superior Artística do Porto and he is currently living and work- ing from Berlin. He is specialized in not being specialized as he is moved by arbitrary challenges and mundane curiosity over science and art realms. He independently expresses this himself by exercising, on various mediums, over artifacts about space and the human condition. Collectively wise he continuously looks for opportunities to rationally and physi- cally assist on consequential projects and interventions.
