Antônio Frederico Lasalvia is an undisciplined architect from Brazil. His work deals with questions concerning time, chance, and speculation. He is currently interested in philosophy of technology, specifically on how agency is thought to be distributed within notions of materiality and authorship.
From 2022 Antônio collaborates with the Porto-based studio FAHR 021.3, where he engages on projects ranging from scenography and urban planning to curatorial work and sculptural interventions. He is also the host of “When Thinking is Doing: A radio show for handy Theory,” which is broadcast monthly by the Robida Collective.
Antônio is also into poetry and dance.
