Tânia Teixeira

Tânia Teixeira is an architect who graduated from the Department of Architecture at the University of Coimbra. She practiced her profession in Italy until she returned to Portugal to work exclusively with earth construction. She founded the CRU architecture and research studio, which operates in the Integral Minga Cooperative in Montemor-o-Novo.

His soundtrack of choice includes Arvo Part, Steve Reich, Bjork and Kronos Quartet.

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 background 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.
