Arquitectos Anónimos ® is a Portuguese label founded in the end of 2006, based in Porto; it organizes an opened space stimulating the work as a kind of an individual suplantation, liberating its co-authorships from their identity, finding and founding a reinforced new one – daily. Primarily an over reaction in the contemporary context of the exaggerated weight of authorship “individuality”, AA
® is becoming more an antithesis to pseudonym or a fictional name as only way to shelt the expanded ourselves, facing that no longer, nobody owns his ideas exclusively. That opens a new highway restoring a certain inaccessible image of no “dialogue architect” or quite feared “untouchable idea” from our educational heritage; closer to people we work with, like direct commissioners, clients, promoters, publishers, co-authorships, team members, making them feel they´re part of the solution discovery. We don´t ambition the ideal client, always agreeing, the prefect place, the unanimity in the speech of beautiful, the monothematic architecture, because it would exclude us from the most pleasant role we play.
