Felisberto Cortês is an architect, holds a Ph.D. in Architecture from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon, and is a Research Collaborator at CiTUA. His research focuses on sustainable housing, earth construction, and architectural solutions for informal neighbourhoods, with particular attention to contexts where environmental, economic, social, and construction constraints intersect. His doctoral research developed CASADOMO, a sustainable housing solution based on modular superadobe construction, designed for informal neighbourhoods in Praia, Cabo Verde. The project explores the potential of earth-based construction and modular design to contribute to more accessible, sustainable, and context-responsive housing solutions. His current research focuses on the architectural refinement and systematic evaluation of CASADOMO, examining its construction characteristics and its environmental, economic, and social performance. This work seeks to strengthen the relationship between architectural conception, material and constructive decisions, and the assessment of the solution within its intended context. Beyond his work on sustainable housing and earth construction, Cortês has broader research interests in scientific research methodology, evidence-based knowledge construction, and the relationship between architectural design, empirical evaluation, and the development of scientific knowledge. His work is particularly concerned with how design processes can be documented, critically assessed, and connected to robust forms of evidence, ensuring that architectural proposals are not only conceived as practical solutions but also examined as potential contributions to knowledge.
