Ana Aragão (Porto, 1984) graduated as an architect from the Faculty of Architecture of the Porto University (2009), scholarship-holder from FCT, attended the PhD of the Department of Architecture of the University of Coimbra (2011-2014, not concluded). Currently, she is dedicated exclusively to drawing by hand, exploring the theme of urban imaginaries and paper architecture.
She runs a studio in Porto where she develops her imaginary graphic constructions and impossible landscapes. Her work addresses the issue of the contemporary city and its loss of limits and of dwelling in today’s living spaces. She questions the limits of architecture (for instance: can a drawing be architecture?) and defends an emotional and psycho-geographical approach to urban territories.
Some of her recent projects include the participation in the Portuguese Representation in the 2014 edition of the Venice Biennial (Portuguese Pavilion) and her participation in the 2021 Venice Biennial (Italian Pavilion). She currently has an exhibition entitled "No Plan for Japan" in the Orient Museum, in Lisbon.
↪ As a counterweight to digital hyper-realist renders, manual illustration and painting are exploring subjective and sensitive visual vocabularies and narratives.
