Diogo Brito, Rodrigo Vilas-Boas, Francisco Lencastre, João Jesus, Julião Pinto Leite. OODA

OODA. Established in 2010, OODA came about as a result of the reunion between Diogo Brito and Rodrigo Vilas-Boas. Francisco Lencastre joined the office in 2011, initially based in the historical city centre of Porto. In 2018 João Jesus and Julião Pinto Leite joined to expand OODA to five partners.

Recently, OODA has expanded their facilities and currently has two offices with one in Matosinhos, Porto, and one in Lisbon. In the near future, we aim to expand internationally.

Before being a structure of idealization, production and management of architecture, OODA is a broader ideology that has been designed and published in the strategic, methodological and economic book guide ‘OODA Business Plan’. Simultaneously local and global, OODA sets out to be an exporter of regional architecture and an importer of international architecture.
