Embark on a transformative journey at our upcoming workshop, Foam Topologies: A man-machine collaboration for social impact in Macau. This innovative session seamlessly merges cutting-edge technology with design practice, placing a spotlight on the application of a Spatial Hotwire Cutter to precision-cut foam materials. Led by industry experts, participants will navigate the intricate realms of robotic fabrication, gaining hands-on experience in a collaborative environment. The outcome of this workshop will be an architectural space for interaction – a platform for socialization. Join us in pushing the boundaries of architectural innovation, as we delve into the synergy between robotics and eco-conscious application to EPS material.

Hugo Reis is an architect based in Porto - Portugal. He is the founder of FAHR 021.3®, an internationally awarded creative and experimental studio, which (un)focuses its work between Art and Architecture. He has been distinguished internationally for a set of projects that are characterized by their formal and provocative approach such as Hairchitecture (PT), São João Structure (PT), Metamorfose (PT), Eclipse (PT), Nappe (TW) and Nook (TW). In 2018, Serralves Pavilion was presented at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia - PUBLIC WITHOUT RHETORIC. In 2019 he was selected for the 40 under 40 European Design Award, European Center for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies. Since 2020 Hugo is doing his doctoral studies in Cities and Territory, at ISCTE in Lisbon, focusing on cultural-artistic events where art meets urbanism, in small-medium scale cities as a space for (re)enactment.
