NIEL—A IS AN ARCHITECTURE STUDIO BASED IN LISBON, PORTUGAL. THE PRACTICE OPERATES ACROSS ALL SCALES — FROM LANDSCAPE TO CITY, FROM BUILDINGS TO INTERIORS, FROM ROOMS TO OBJECTS. ARCHITECTURE IS CONCEIVED AS AN OPEN FIELD OF INVESTIGATION INTO SPACE AND PLACE. DRAWING AND WRITING ARE TOOLS OF CRITICAL THOUGHT, CAPABLE OF QUESTIONING AND REVEALING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE, IDENTITY, AND SOCIETY. THEY GENERATE IDEAS, SHAPE SPACES, AND CREATE ATMOSPHERES, ESTABLISHING THEMSELVES AS CENTRAL INSTRUMENTS IN THE DESIGN PROCESS. WE WORK IN A MULTIDISCIPLINARY WAY, BRINGING COLLECTIVE EXPERTISE ACROSS ALL PHASES OF THE CREATIVE AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESS.
