About the Author

Pedro Gadanho is a distinguished Portuguese architect, curator, and writer whose work bridges the worlds of design, urbanism, and cultural criticism. With a background in architecture from the University of Porto, he has held influential positions such as chief curator of architecture and urbanism at MAAT in Lisbon and editor-in-chief of the architecture magazine 2G. Gadanho's writings explore the intersections of built environments, technology, and society, often challenging conventional narratives in modern design. His book Alvar Aalto: Second Nature delves into the Finnish master's innovative approach to organic modernism, revealing how Aalto's designs harmonize with natural landscapes. Through essays, exhibitions, and publications, Gadanho continues to shape discourse on sustainable and humanistic architecture in a rapidly urbanizing world.
