Tiago Hespanha

From architect to director, we know Tiago Hespanha’s path better. He graduated in architecture in 2004 and in 2006 was a student on the Ateliers Varan Documentary Filmmaking Course, produced by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. Since then he has worked in cinema as a director and collaborated with various creators in different fields.~

As a soundtrack, there are songs by a band that has always accompanied Tiago, The Velvet Underground, and by a recent discovery of his, Sister Netifa.

In this series of interviews, we talk to architects who haven’t followed the traditional path of the profession: with one foot in architecture, their professional activity has found fertile ground in other creative fields. We navigate between expectations and archetypes: we try to understand how a degree in architecture enabled an alternative career path, how this “transition” took place and where this matrix still manifests itself in their daily work.
We talk in the workspace of each guest, who also chooses the soundtrack, between the music they listen to while working or simply the music they can’t stop listening to.
