Pedro Serrazina

Pedro Serrazina’s career began with a degree in architecture, which he left unfinished in order to devote himself completely to animation.

The soundtrack Pedro chose for his story is extensive and here there was room only for Bauhaus, Robert Fripp, Brian Eno, The Legendary Tigerman, Talk Talk and Jóhann Jóhannsson.
Professor, researcher and award-winning director of animated films, since his first short, “Estória do gato e da Lua”, premiered internationally at the Cannes Film Festival. His work has various expressions, including short films, site-specific installations, video clips, workshops, publications and academic projects, in a path marked by the relationship between architecture, public space and animation cinema.

In this series of interviews, we talk to architects who have not 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 activity.
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.
