Office ARQ|EMA was founded in 2015 by Ema Castro Alves. ARQ|EMA is known for its minimalist architecture, in which form and function stand side by side. The projects are direct, spatial and firmly rooted in architectural theory and urban context. The firm reduces architecture to its very essence and most original form: a limited set of basic geometric rules is used to create a framework within which life unfolds out in all its complexity.
