Mariana Magalhães Costa
I graduated as an architect and urban designer from Pontifícia Universidade Católica of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RIO), Brazil. Through an exchange programme, I had the opportunity to study in Portugal, at Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade Técnica de Lisboa (FAUTL) and I also spent one semester at the École Nationale Supérieure de Toulouse(ENSAT), France. Once I graduated, I moved to Paris and spent 6 months working in a French architecture firm called BRS architectes ingenieurs. Back to Rio de Janeiro in 2011, I joined RRA office team for three years, where I had the opportunity to work with high rise commercial buildings as well as urban and landscape design(main projects include the Madureira Park and the L’oreal headquarters, in Rio). Between 2014 and 2015, I collaborated with RUA arquitetos in the design of the Golf Clubhouse for the 2016 Olympic Games. In July 2016, I earned an international master degree in Urban and Environmental Engineering through PUC-RIO in partnership with Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany. In 2017, I opened my own firm and between January 2021 and September 2022, I also collaborated as a project architect at Estudio Chão, designing mostly residential, exhibition and event projects in Rio de Janeiro. Currently, I am developing a PhD research at LRA ENSA Toulouse.
