Fountain Design Portfolio | João Branco

I was born in São Paulo but still a child I moved to Lisbon to live and continue my education. In 2000 I finished my graduation in Architecture and Urban Planning studies at Lisbon’s Technical University. During this university stage I had the opportunity to study in Barcelona, as an Erasmus student, which gave me the chance to complement multiple points of interest related to modern architecture and landscape design, including urban scale sculptures, interactive water features and public art works.

From 1999 to 20From 1999 to 2011, I worked as architect, town planner and senior urban designer in some architecture offices in Lisbon. But for me, the most remarkable experience was to work as an architect and water feature designer in GHESA, where I developed a multi-tasking and multi-national way of working, being responsible for the implementation of the Lisbons branch. During this journey I had the chance to contact and learn with a respectable and heterogeneous group of clients and partners from different countries and cultures as Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Angola, Morocco, Italy, Germany, France, Spain and Brasil. I also had the opportunityopportunity to develop commercial, marketing and technical skills but mainly to design inte-grated water features in complex and bigger scale projects, dealing with multi-disciplinary projects and teams.

Since 2010, in partnership with a solid multidisciplinary team, together, we founded the PLURIESCALA Company and started working independently in the professional fields of Architecture, Urban Design, Landscape, Town Planning, Water Features Design and Public Art Works.
