José Miguel Mendes Freitas Silva (Lisboa, 1977), graduated in 2004 in Architecture at the Lusíada University of Lisbon and concluded in 2010 the Master in Rehabilitation of Architecture and Urban Centres at the University of Lisbon, Lisbon School of Architecture (FAUL). In 2017 he has obtained the PhD in Urbanism at FAUL, developing the theme “The Invention of the Urban Heritage. The production processes of the urban heritage in Portugal”. Currently, he is a Guest Assistant Professor at FAUL, where he teaches in the curricular units of Urbanism and Spatial Planning, Project Laboratory and Urban Forms and Spatial Organization.
Since 2010, he integrates the research group formaurbis LAB at FAUL, acquiring several research grants financed by the Portuguese National Funding Agency for Science, Research and Technology (FCT) and the Research Centre for Architecture, Urbanism and Design (CIAUD), in the development of the research projects “The Built Fabric in Portuguese city - Morphological Inventory” and the “Building Typology. Morphological Inventory of Portuguese City”. From 2013 to 2015 he was granted with a AUSMIP Plus scholarship at the University of Tokyo, School of Engineering, Department of Architecture.
His research is dedicated to the study of the morphological evolution of the urban heritage, focusing today in the reuse of obsolete and expectant urban fabric into programmes other than its original function. Between 2021 and 2023 he was the lead researcher in the embryo-project "Rehabit Convents in Lisbon. Built heritage, adaptive reuse and urban form transformation"; and, since 2023, it has been developing a study with the theme “Atlas of Reuse. An operative chart to support the strategic transformation and integration of the obsolescent buildings” within the Lisbon Metropolitan Area scale.
He has developed his professional activity as an architect, integrating multidisciplinary teams in several architectural projects, rehabilitation and development plans, as collaborater at the Risco S.A., Conceito Arquitectos and Oficina Ideias em Linha in partnership with the GB Arquitectos.
