I’m an architect, artist, and researcher investigating the communicative potential of materials and their role in fostering collaboration. Born in Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal, in 1981, I earbed a degree in Architecture from the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Porto in 2006, followed by a Fine Arts degree in Sculpture from the same university in 2021.  

Between 2004 and 2022, I collaborated with various architectural teams, including Atelier Peter Zumthor, Vinagre & Côrte-Real, Immopo Studio, Fahr 021.3, and Hethnomodern, as well as working independently as a freelancer.

Currently, I’m an FCT fellow in the doctoral program in Art Education at Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Porto (i2ads/FBAUP/2022.09894.BD, Portugal).

  • The communication intent in 'matéria disponível’ (‘available matter') (2022) author(s): rosinda casais connected to: i2ADS - Research Institute in Art, Design and Society published in: RUUKKU - Studies in Artistic Research
    This article is based on the personal work 'matéria disponível’ (2020) by Rosinda Casais and proposes to analyse the importance of communication-driven art in its different stages. This work emerged from the objective to explore the outdoor space as a space to communicate, during the period of the first lock-down (social distancing) due to CoVID-19, from march to june 2020. Crossing this period, she and her 5 years old daughter used the debris that remained in the courtyard of the building, where both live, and started communicating through objects with the neighbours. From the intention to interact with the other, this artwork fulfils itself, broadens and questions the communicative nature of the objects and the artistic practice as well. Concepts, along with the capacity of the objects to change the atmosphere of a place and the common/individual memories, were developed during this work towards a sense of communication from/to it and is discussed here.
