Rethorica Studio
the architects in Lisbon, Portugal

There is a very distinct identity in how the Rethorica Studio studio, based in Lisboa, thinks about the built environment. Our role at Ivo Tavares Studio has been to capture that essence, creating an architectural photography shoot that showcases this team's talent to the world. Read the text below to learn about the vision of these architects, and scroll down to the end of the page to see the projects we've already photographed with them.

RTHR - Rethorica Studio is an independent architecture and design collective based in the Lisbon metropolitan area. Founded in 2015, the studio emerged from an academic context and a shared interest in experimentation, conceptual research, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Its practice encompasses architecture, graphic and furniture design, as well as ephemeral architecture, art installations, and installations for large events. The studio develops conventional architectural projects, such as housing and rehabilitation, alongside temporary interventions, scenography, competitions, and collaborative projects, reflecting a strong multidisciplinary vocation.

The name evokes the idea of “rhetoric” as a device of language applied to space, suggesting a reflection on how architecture communicates ideas and spatial experiences. The studio has developed interventions that value context and the expression of architectural thought.
